C.1 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
Amphenol Thermometrics, Inc. is a participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative, directive 2002/96/EC.
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of
natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous
substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our
environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we
encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those
systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end life
equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please
contact your local or regional waste administration.
Contact your Amphenol Thermometrics, Inc. team for additional take-back information.
