2.5.1 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The European Union Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) places an obligation on manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to
take back electronics products at the end of their useful life.
The WEEE directive covers all RTI products being sold into the European Union (EU)
as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are obliged to finance
the cost 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 left, is marked on the product, which indicates that this
product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user's
responsibility to dispose of the user's waste equipment by handing it over to
a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and
electronic equipment. 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 contact your local distributor from whom you purchased
the product.
