Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) places an obligation on producers
(manufacturers, distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of
their useful life. The WEEE Directive covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of
August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of
recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the
WEEE requirements.

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
