Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Policy Statement
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations
(WEEE), EU Directive 2002/96/EC, was adopted into UK law
on 2nd January 2007 with full implementation from 1st July
2007. These regulations require that, at the end of its useful
life, electrical and electronic equipment, when being disposed
of, must be recycled and, or disposed of in accordance with the
EU directive as it is applied in the local laws of that State. These
regulations go further by making the manufacturer or importer
(the producer) of the goods responsible for their disposal, or
recycling in the correct manner.
Designability recognises and accepts its obligations and has
taken the following steps to ensure compliance:
Costs
Compliance with these new regulations comes at a cost that will
be borne by Designability.
Labelling
Wizzybug features the approved crossed out wheeled bin symbol
(see Glossary) clearly marked on the devices or their packaging.
Additionally, printed information is provided in the Glossary
outlining the signicance of the symbol.
Product design
Designability recognises the benet to the environment of this
legislation and, as a result, is designing products that allow for
recycling and less adverse environmental impact.

Please contact Designability or your local agent if
applicable to arrange return for disposal.
