Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) – Environmental protection

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have issued the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose of the Directive is the prevention of waste of electrical and electronic equipment, and to promote the reuse and recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste. As such the Directive concerns producers, distributors and consumers.

The WEEE directive requires that both manufacturers and end-consumers dispose of electrical and electronic equipment and parts in an environmentally safe manner, and that equipment and waste are reused or recovered for their materials or energy. Electrical and electronic equipment and parts must not be disposed of with ordinary household refuse; all electrical and electronic equipment and parts must be collected and disposed of separately.

Products and equipment which must be collected for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery are marked with the pictogram shown.

When disposing of electrical and electronic equip- ment by use of the collection systems available in your country, you protect the environment, human health and contribute to the prudent and rational use of natural resources. Collecting electrical and electronic equipment and waste prevents the potential contamination of nature with the hazardous substances which may be present in electrical and electronic products and equipment.

Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will assist with and advise you of the correct way of disposal in your country.

Small products may not always be marked with the pictogram in which case this is present in the instructions for use, on the guarantee certificate and printed on the packaging.

This product fulfils the conditions stated in the EEU directives 89/336 and 73/23.
