Environmental Directives

WEEE Directive [2002/96/EC] on
Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment
The Directive on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment obliges manufacturers,
importers, and/or distributors of electronic
equipment to provide for recycling of the
electronic equipment at the end of its useful life.
Do not dispose of WEEE in unsorted municipal
waste.
The WEEE symbol on the product or its
packaging indicates that this product must not
be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is
your responsibility to dispose of your waste
equipment by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the recycling of Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The
separate collection and recycling of your waste
equipment at the time of disposal will help
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 medical
equipment at the end of its useful life for
recycling, please contact ConMed Linvatec.
