Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive for recovery, recycle, and reuse
of IT and telecommunications products
Dell
EMC switches are labeled in accordance with European Directive
2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling
of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This
label is applied to various products to indicate that the product
is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per
this Directive.
Figure 1. The European
WEEE symbol
In accordance with the European WEEE
Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be collected
separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life.
Users of EEE with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive,
as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal
waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for
the return, recycling and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation
is important to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment
and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances
in EEE.
Dell EMC products, which fall within
the scope of the WEEE, are labeled with the crossed-out wheelie-bin
symbol, as shown above, as required by WEEE.
