WEEE Instructions for PerkinElmer Products
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, according to 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.
Requirements for waste collection reuse, recycling, and recovery programs vary by regulatory
authority at your location. Contact your local responsible body (e.g., your laboratory
manager) or authorized representative for information regarding applicable disposal
regulations. Contact PerkinElmer at the web site listed below for information specific to
PerkinElmer products.

Products from other manufacturers may also form a part of your PerkinElmer system. These
other producers are directly responsible for the collection and processing of their own waste
products under the terms of the WEEE Directive. Please contact these producers directly
before discarding any of their products.
