Introduction

A label with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and a rectangular bar
indicates that the product is covered by the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and is not to be disposed of
as unsorted municipal waste. Any products marked with this symbol
must be collected separately, according to the regulatory guidelines
in your area.
The objectives of this program are to preserve, protect and improve
the quality of the environment, protect human health, and utilize
natural resources prudently and rationally. Specific treatment of
WEEE is indispensable in order to avoid the dispersion of pollutants
into the recycled material or waste stream. Such treatment is the
most effective means of protecting the customer’s environment.
Requirements for waste collection, reuse, recycling, and recovery
programs vary by regulatory authority at your location. Contact your
local responsible body (e.g., your laboratory manager) or authorized
representative for information regarding applicable disposal
regulations. Contact PerkinElmer at the web site listed below for
information specific to PerkinElmer products.

Products from other manufacturers may also form a part of your
PerkinElmer system. These other producers are directly responsible
for the collection and processing of their own waste products under
the terms of the WEEE Directive. Please contact these producers
directly before discarding any of their products.
