COMPEX 3 User Manual
6 - Elimination
The main purpose of the Directive
2002/96/EEC is to prevent the creation
of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE) and to reduce the
amount of waste to be disposed of by
encouraging reuse, recycling, and other
forms of recovery. Any products bearing
the WEEE marking (a crossed-out wheeled
bin) must be separated from ordinary
household waste and sent to special
collection facilities for recycling and
recovery. By doing so, you will be
contributing to the safeguarding of natural
resources and health.
Batteries must be disposed of in
compliance with relevant national
regulatory requirements.
