Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction
in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our
products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby
reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few
consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products
are low energy consuming products.
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the
printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version.
Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products – in a
variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are
significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper
are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps you directly
access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG
video systems now have an intuitive on-page help function,
which provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents
of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive,
TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all
types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after
August 13th 2005.
Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details
for the product for which you would like to receive recycling
information:

In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances
in our environment and to diminish the pressure on natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back
systems in your area. Those systems will reuse or recycle most
of the materials of your end of life equipment in a sound way.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August
2005 are marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin
symbol that invites you to use those take-back
systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste
administration, or
http://www.tandberg.com/recycling
if you
need more information on the collection and recycling system in
your area.
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment
TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with the requirements
in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/
EC (RoHS).
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is
to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration
by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling.
The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and
brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact
of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to
comply with the European RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) and the
European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is committed to following international environmental legislation
and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and
communities creatively address environmental challenges.
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO
