WEEE
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU, luminaires are defi ned as Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and as such, they cannot be disposed of as municipal solid waste.
At the end of their life cycle, they must therefore be correctly treated and disposed of as sub-
stances of concern for both the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous
substances in the electrical and electronic components.
The user must therefore consign used luminaires to the distributor when purchasing an equivalent
new luminaire or, exclusively in the case of Italy, directly to Ecolight, the Consortium for the Disposal
of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Consorzio per lo Smaltimento degli Apparecchi di Illu-
minazione), delegated by Reggiani S.p.A. Illuminazione, who will collect the equipment free of charge
and deliver it to the special collection facilities set up by the local authorities to recover, treat and
dispose of WEEE.
If lamps are disposed of with the luminaire, they must not be crushed because they contain highly
polluting substances for the environment.
The illegal or inappropriate disposal of said waste is punishable by economic and/or administrative
sanctions of the amount established by the law.
N.B. The free collection of a luminaire may be refused if there is a risk of contamination for the per-
sonnel performing the service, if it is evident that the luminaire does not contain the essential compo-
nents or if it contains waste other than WEEE, or if the weight of the luminaire collected is more than
double the weight of the new luminaire acquired. In these circumstances, disposal is the responsibility
of the holder.
The WEEE symbol is shown on the packaging of each of our products.
