Environmental Information

The equipment that you purchased required the extraction and use of natural 
resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could 
impact health and the environment.

To avoid the potential release of those substances into the environment and to diminish the need 
for the extraction of natural resources, Ross Video encourages you to use the appropriate 
take-back systems. These systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials from your 
end-of-life equipment in an environmentally friendly and health conscious manner.

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use these systems.

If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your 
local or regional waste administration. You can also contact Ross Video for more information on 
the environmental performances of our products.
