Product Environmental Information
Legislation is now in place within the European Union (EU) that regulates
waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the WEEE
Directive) stipulates that WEEE is now subject to regulations designed to
prevent the disposal of such waste and to encourage design and treatment
measures to minimize the amount of waste that is placed into the waste
stream. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to preserve, protect and
improve the quality of the environment, protect human health, and stimulate
the practical use of natural resources. Specifically, the WEEE Directive
requires that producers of electrical and electronic equipment be responsible
for the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of WEEE which the
Producer places on the EU market after August 13, 2005.
FARO Technologies, Inc., as a producer of electrical and electronic
equipment, has endeavored to meet these environmental responsibilities for
managing WEEE. In so doing, FARO is providing the following to inform its
customers about the WEEE collection process:

household or municipal waste, but in an established waste stream for WEEE.

disposal, and recycling of WEEE. End-users in the EU should contact their
local waste administration system for collection instructions concerning this
product.
