WEEE Notice

The directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as
European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical
equipment at end-of-life.

The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote
the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.

will allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and
electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For more information
about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please
contact your local city centre, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the
