Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
European Parliament and the Council of the European Union’s WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC)
came into force on August, 2005 and, were more recently amended in July, 2012. This directive
encourages the reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE and to improve the environmental
performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment,
especially those dealing with WEEE. Harmonic ensures that all requirements for registration,
reporting, design and data tracking are complied with to meet the objectives of the WEEE
directive.

Battery Directive
In September 2006, the European Union’s Directive 2006/66/EC (Battery Directive) came into
force with an aim to prohibit the sale of batteries and accumulators containing hazardous
substances and to set rules and promote collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of waste
batteries and accumulators. This directive applies to spent batteries collected together with WEEE
and requires their removal and separate collection. Once removed from WEEE, spent batteries are
governed by the Battery Directive. Harmonic uses lithium batteries in its products and our
responsibility under the Battery Directive is taken care of under our WEEE Take-Back program.
For more information, please visit Batteries and Accumulators directive page at official EU
website.
