Product Reclamation and Recycling
Celestix Networks is committed to environmentally responsible behavior. As part of this commitment,
we work to comply with environmental standards such as the European Union’s Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.
These directives and other similar regulations from countries outside the European Union regulate
electronic waste management and the reduction or elimination of specific hazardous materials in
electronic products. The WEEE Directive requires electrical and electronics manufacturers to provide
mechanisms for the recycling and reuse of their products. The RoHS Directive restricts the use of
certain substances that are commonly found in electronic products today. Restricted substances
include heavy metals, like lead and polybrominated materials. The RoHS Directive, with some
exemptions, applies to all electrical and electronic equipment.
In accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), products put on the market after 13
August 2005 are marked with the following symbol or include it in their documentation: a crossed-out
wheeled waste bin with a bar beneath.
Celestix Networks provides recycling support for our equipment to comply with the WEEE Directive.
For recycling information, send email to recycling@celestix.com indicating the type of Celestix
Networks equipment needing to be disposed of and the country where it is currently located, or
contact a Celestix Networks account representative.
Products returned through our reclamation process are recycled, recovered, or disposed of in a
responsible manner.
