D. Environmental Compliance
The equipment purchased has required the extraction and use of natural
resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could
impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in the environment
and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage the use
of appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most
of the materials of end-life equipment in a sound way.
The cross-out wheeled bin symbol encourages the use of those systems.
If more information is needed on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems,
please contact the appropriate local or regional waste administration.
