Appendix B:
EU Guidelines
for WEEE disposal
All Britecell Plus products are properly labelled (please refer to fig. B.1) so as
to inform the customer that no piece of equipment should be treated as
unsorted municipal waste. Within the EU boundariers, any Britecell Plus
equipment which is no longer used should be treated and disposed of
according to European Directives 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC. The above
regulations state that Waste Electric Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have to be
disposed of by authorised centers with proper license for WEEE treatment.
The customer can decide to dispose of the unused equipment only if he owns a
WEEE disposal licence. Otherwise, he should contact the manufacturer or any
center which is authorised for WEEE treatment. Any failure to comply with the
above regulations will be punished through a penalty whose amount and terms
are set by each EU Member State.
The information reported hereinafter (table B.1) are aimed to provide the
costumer and/or the WEEE treatment center with any information about
recycling and disposing of the Britecell Plus equipment. These guidelines fall
within Andrew’s efforts to increase re-use, recycling and other forms of
recovery, leading to a reduction in the amount of waste going to landfill or
incineration.
