Our Commitment to Preserving the Environment

In addition to high-efficiency performance, all GIGABYTE motherboards fulfill European Union regulations 

for RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and WEEE 

(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) environmental directives, as well as most major worldwide safety 

requirements. To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our 

natural resources, GIGABYTE provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse 

most of the materials in your "end of life" product.

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive Statement

GIGABYTE products have not intended to add and safe from hazardous substances (Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr+6, PBDE 

and PBB). The parts and components have been carefully selected to meet RoHS requirement. Moreover, we at 

GIGABYTE are continuing our efforts to develop products that do not use internationally banned toxic chemicals.

Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive Statement

GIGABYTE will fulfill the national laws as interpreted from the 2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic 

Equipment) directive. The WEEE Directive specifies the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal of electric 

and electronic devices and their components. Under the Directive, used equipment must be marked, collected 

separately, and disposed of properly.

WEEE Symbol Statement

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product 

must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, the device should be taken to the waste collection 

centers for activation of the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal procedure. The separate 

collection and recycling of your 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 government office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product for details 

of environmentally safe recycling.

Š

When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, "take it back" to your local or regional 

waste collection administration for recycling.

Š

If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing in your "end of life" product, you may contact us at the 

Customer Care number listed in your product's user's manual and we will be glad to help you with your effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the 

energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including 

shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly. 

With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic 

equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of "end of life" products, and generally improve our 

quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are 

disposed of properly.
