End-of-life recycling programme (WEEE)
The WEEE Directive concerns the recovery, reuse, and recycling of electronic and electrical
equipment. Under the Directive, used equipment must be marked, collected separately, and disposed
of properly.
4RF Communications has implemented an end-of-life recycling programme to manage the reuse,
recycling, and recovery of waste in an environmentally safe manner using processes that comply with
the WEEE Directive (EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 2002/96/EC).
The WEEE symbol explained
This symbol appears on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) as part of the WEEE (Waste EEE)
directive. It means that the EEE may contain hazardous substances and must not be thrown away with
municipal or other waste.
WEEE must be collected separately
You must not dispose of electrical and electronic waste with municipal and other waste. You must
separate it from other waste and recycling so that it can be easily collected by the proper regional
WEEE collection system in your area.
Return and collection programmes in your area
Contact your local or regional authority for information about the return and collection programmes
available in your area.
Your role in the recovery of WEEE
By separately collecting and properly disposing of WEEE, you are helping to reduce the amount of
WEEE that enters the waste stream.
One of the aims of the WEEE directive is to divert EEE away from landfill and encourage recycling.
Recycling EEE means that valuable resources such as metals and other materials (which require
energy to source and manufacture) are not wasted. Also, the pollution associated with accessing new
materials and manufacturing new products is reduced.
EEE waste impacts the environment and health
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains hazardous substances which have potential effects
on the environment and human health. If you want environmental information on the Aprisa XE
