WEEE Directive

WEEE = Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

The human activity generates more and more waste.
To protect natural resources and our environment, the prevention and the recycling of the waste became a major stake.

To protect human lives and the environment, the European Commission published the WEEE directive 2002 / 96 / CE whose objective is to define the conditions of collection, storage, treatment and recycling of the electric and electronic products.

The products concerned by the directive are identified with the symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin.

This marking shown on the product or its documentation indicates that it should not be disposed with other household waste at the end of its working life.

To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, it has to be separated from other types of waste and recycled in a responsible way to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.


Household users should contact either the retailer where they purchased this product, or their local government office, for details of where and how they can get rid of this item for environmentally safe recycling.

Business users should contact their supplier and check the terms and conditions of the purchase contract. This product should not be mixed with other commercial waste.
