WEEE Instructions for PerkinElmer Products
or
A label with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and a rectangular bar indicates that the product is covered by the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Any
products marked with this symbol must be collected separately, according to the regulatory guidelines in your area.
The objectives of this program are to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human
health, and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally. Specific treatment of WEEE is indispensable in order to
avoid the dispersion of pollutants into the recycled material or waste stream. Such treatment is the most effective
means of protecting the customer’s environment.
Requirements for waste collection, reuse, recycling, and recovery programs vary by regulatory authority at your
location. Contact your local responsible body (e.g. your laboratory manager) or authorized representative for
information regarding applicable disposal regulations. Contact PerkinElmer at the website listed below for information
specific to PerkinElmer products.
