Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) has been implemented in member
states as of August 13, 2005. This directive, which seeks to reduce
the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use,
recycling, and recovery, imposes several requirements on producers.
Sirona Dental and its Dealers are committed to complying with the
Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped
after August 13, 2005 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 EE 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, Sirona Dental or its Dealers will
ensure that information needed to calculate the financial obligations
with respect to EEE products will be provided as required.
