Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(2002/96/EC) has been implemented in member states. This directive, which seeks to
reduce the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use, recycling, and
recovery, imposes several requirements on producers. Schick Technologies and its
Dealers are committed to complying with the Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive will be compliant with the WEEE
marking requirements. These products will be identified with the “crossed-out wheeled
bin” WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European Standard EN 50419, and in
accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal
waste. Instead, it is user’s responsibility to dispose of EEE waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and reuse or
recycling of Electrical & Electronic waste equipment will help to conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects the
environment and human health. For more information about where you can drop
off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local officials.
Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will ensure that
information needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products
will be provided as required.
WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will fulfill its
obligations for the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which
the equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the
equipment will be placed to specify when the equipment was put on the market.
