Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Environmental protection
The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have issued the
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose of the Directive
is the prevention of waste of electrical and electronic equipment, and to promote
the reuse and recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste. As such the Di-
rective concerns producers, distributors and consumers.
The WEEE directive requires that both manufacturers and end-consumers dispose of
electrical and electronic equipment and parts in an environmentally safe manner, and that equipment and
waste are reused or recovered for their materials or energy. Electrical and electronic equipment and parts
must not be disposed of with ordinary household refuse; all electrical and electronic equipment and parts
must be collected and disposed of separately. Products and equipment which must be collected for reuse,
recycling and other forms of recoveryare marked with the pictogram shown.
When disposing of electrical and electronic equipment by use of the collection systems available in
your country, you protect the environment, human health and contribute to the prudent and rational
use of natural resources. Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and waste prevents the po-
tential contamination of nature with the hazardous substances which maybe present in electrical and
electronic products and equipment.
Your Wadax retailer will assist with and advise you of the correct way of disposal in your country.
