F.2.2 Waste treatment on your own responsibility
If you do not return an "end of life" unit to the company, you must hand it to a company
specialized in waste recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public
waste disposal site.
F.2.3 Ecological background
It is well known that WEEE pollutes the environment by rel easing toxic products
during decomposition. The aim of the Europ ean RoHS directive is to re duce the
content of toxic substances in electronic products in the future.
The intent of the WEEE directive is to enforce the recycling of WE EE. A controlled
recycling of end of life prod
ucts will thereby avoid negative impacts on the
environment.
