65 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Environmental protection
The European Parliament and the Council of the
European Union have issued the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equip¦ment Directive. The purpose of
the Directive is the prevention of waste of electrical
and electronic equipment, and to promote the
reuse and recycling and other forms of recovery of
such waste. As such the Directive concerns
producers, distributors and consumers.
The WEEE directive requires that both
manufacturers and end-consumers dispose of
electrical and electronic equipment and parts in an
environmentally safe manner, and that equipment
and waste are reused or recovered for their
materials or energy.
Electrical and electronic equipment and parts must
not be disposed of with ordinary household refuse;
all electrical and electronic equipment and parts
must be collected and disposed of separately.
Products and equipment which must be collected
for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery are
marked with the pictogram shown.
When disposing of electrical and electronic
equipment by use of the collection systems
available in your country, you protect the
environment, human health and contribute to the
prudent and rational use of natural resources.
Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and
waste prevents the potential contamination of
nature with the hazardous substances which may
be present in electrical and electronic products and
equipment.
Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will assist with and
advise you of the correct way of disposal in your
country.
