Appendix D – Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE)
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
The WEEE directive places an obligation on manufacturers, distributors and retailers to take-back electronic
products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances),
complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products
at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products being sold into the EU as of August
13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from
municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.

equipment. The separate collection and recycling of waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to
conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the
environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please
