or
A label with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and a rectangular bar indicates that
the product is covered by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive and is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Any products
marked with this symbol must be collected separately, and in accordance with the
regulatory guidelines in your area.
The objectives of this program are to preserve, protect and improve the quality of
the environment, protect human health, and utilize natural resources prudently and
rationally. Specific treatment of WEEE is indispensable in order to avoid the
dispersion of pollutants into the recycled material or waste stream. Such treatment
is the most effective means of protecting the customer’s environment.
The requirements for waste collection, reuse, recycling, and recovery programs are
set by the regulatory authority in your location. Contact your local responsible
person (such as your laboratory manager) or authorized representative for
information regarding applicable disposal regulations.
See the PerkinElmer web address below for information specific to PerkinElmer
products, and contact details for the Customer care department in your region.
