Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) places an obligation on producers (manufacturers,
distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. The WEEE Directive
covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and
retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of
specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this product was put on the

to dispose of the user's waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of
WEEE. The separate collection and recycling of waste equipment at the time of disposal will
help to 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 equipment for recycling, please
