Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/96/EC) will
be implemented in member states starting August 13, 2005. This directive, which seeks to reduce
the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use, recycling, and recovery, imposes
several requirements on producers. Schick Technologies and its Dealers are committed to
complying with the Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped starting August 13, 2005 will be
compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. These products will be identified with the
“crossed-out wheeled bin” WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European Standard EN
50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it is
user’s responsibility to dispose of EE waste equipment by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
The separate collection and reuse or recycling of Electrical & Electronic waste
equipment will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a
manner that protects the environment and human health. For more information about
where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local
officials.
Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will ensure that
information needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products will be
provided as required.
WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will fulfill its obligations
for the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which the
equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the equipment will
be placed to specify that the equipment was put on the market after August 13, 2005.
