Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
This section provides information about disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment by
users.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (see below) indicates that this product must not be disposed
of with other waste; it must be taken to an approved treatment facility or to a designated
collection point for recycling, according to local laws and regulations.
The separate collection and recycling of waste electronic equipment at the time of disposal helps
to conserve natural resources and ensures that the product is recycled in a manner that protects
human health and the environment.
Recycling can be provided by QIAGEN upon request at additional cost. In the European Union,
in accordance with the specific WEEE recycling requirements and where a replacement product is
being supplied by QIAGEN, free recycling of its WEEE-marked electronic equipment is provided.
To recycle electronic equipment, contact your local QIAGEN sales office for the required return
form. Once the form is submitted, you will be contacted by QIAGEN either to request follow-up
information for scheduling collection of the electronic waste or to provide you with an individual
quote.
