Our Commitment to Preserving the Environment

In addition to high-eficiency performance, all GIGABYTE motherboards fulill 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 fulill the national laws as interpreted from the 2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic 

Equipment) directive. The WEEE Directive speciies 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 ofice, 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.

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.

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 landills 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.
