Appendix 4: WEEE Instructions for PerkinElmer
Products
or
A label with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and a rectangular bar indicates that the
product is covered by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and is
not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Any products marked with this symbol
must be collected separately, and in accordance with the regulatory guidelines in your area.
The objectives of this program are to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the
environment, protect human health, and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally.
Specific treatment of WEEE is indispensable in order to avoid the dispersion of pollutants into
the recycled material or waste stream. Such treatment is the most effective means of
protecting the customer’s environment.
The requirements for waste collection, reuse, recycling, and recovery programs are set by
the regulatory authority at your location. Contact your local responsible person (such as your
laboratory manager) or authorized representative for information regarding applicable
disposal regulations.
See the PerkinElmer web address below for information specific to PerkinElmer products, and
contact details for the Customer care department in your region.

Products from other manufacturers may also form a part of your PerkinElmer system. These
other manufacturers are directly responsible for the collection and processing of their own
waste products under the terms of the WEEE Directive. Please contact these manufacturers
directly before discarding any of their products.
