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 Clear-Com 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.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this
product was put on the market after August 13, 2005 and must not be disposed of with other
waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the user’s waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. The separate
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 recycling, please contact your local authority, your household waste disposal service or the
seller from whom you purchased the product.
