Appendix K – Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
The WEEE directive places an obligation on manufacturers, distributors and retailers to take-back electronic products at the
end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), complements the WEEE Directive
by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers
all Multi-Tech products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to
finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE
requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this product must not be disposed of with
other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the user’s waste equipment by handing it over to a
designated collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic waste equipment. The separate collection and
recycling of waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a
manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste
equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the seller from whom
you purchased the product.
