6.8.3 Disposal information
Dispose of used BPCs according to your facility regulations. All
product contact materials may be disposed of in a waste container or
incinerator. Products with the symbol shown in Figure 6.8 are required
to comply with the European Union’s Waste Electrical & Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC.
If you are a user of Thermo Scientific products and are located within
Europe, and you need to have our products recycled within the terms
of the WEEE Directive, your product must have been purchased on or
after 13 August 2005 and should be marked with the WEEE symbol.
Thermo Scientific products will continue to meet the requirements
of all relevant directives, including those of Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive if and where applicable. Any of our
products affected by or coming into the RoHS scope for the first
time, as a result of the inclusion in the recast directive of product
categories 8, 9, or (the new) 11, changes to the exclusions, or changes
to exempted applications, will meet these new requirements from
their due dates, or enable a finished product into which they may be
incorporated to do so.
Please note that products that are considered a biological
hazard or have been medically contaminated are not to
be recycled through this program, but must be treated as
biohazard waste and disposed of in accordance with your local
regulations.
