The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) required that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and
recycling of the material they contain, and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment. The crossed
"
"
out wheeled bin
symbol on the product remind you of
your obligations that when you dispose of the appliance,
it must be separately collected.
Besides that, waste batteries and/or accumulator must be
removed prior to delivery of WEEE, thought the separated
collection channels provided for this purpose
(distributors and/or facilities from Local Authorities).
