2.3 Environmental notices
Product Design
XMA’s products are designed to ensure that all our equipment can be dismantled, and the components and
materials are recoverable.
Information for Customers
According to the requirement of the WEEE legislation, the following user information is
provided to customers for all branded XMA products subject to the WEEE directive.
“The symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with your
other household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by handing
it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The
separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the
environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste for recycling, please contact
your Local Authority, or where you purchased your product.”
In the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which allows all customers buying new
electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible retailer, we
have met the requirements placed on us by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling
centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the national Distributor
Take-back scheme (DTS).
Treatment
In accordance with UK legislation, XMA confirm that treatments and recycling of WEEE done on behalf
of XMA, either by a collective scheme or individually, will be carried out in accordance with the
requirement of the WEEE Directive, including requirements in respect of special treatment for specific
parts and overall recovery rates.

WEEE Marking
All XMA’s products that are subject to the WEEE directive shipped from 13th August 2005 are compliant
with the WEEE marking requirement. Such products are marked with the “crossed-out wheelie bin”
WEEE symbol (shown, right) in accordance with European Standard EN50419.
All old electrical equipment can be recycled. Please do not throw any electrical equipment
(including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.
