ENVIRONMENT OUR COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Environment has been at the heart of our products. Gateway is committed to limit the environmental impact of its products during product lifecycle. Starting at design phase, with a very strict procurement policy, maximum attention is given to electronic components in order to limit their weight in heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, etc. Suppliers are asked, for each part of any product, to respect all regulations. As far as end-of-life products are concerned, measures have been taken to anticipate and facilitate the recycling of all our products. Thus, all plastic parts heavier than 25 grams used in Gateway products are labelled ISO 11469. This label allows a quick recognition of the material and eases its valorisation. Likewise, desktop computers are designed to be easily dismantled, with screws being replaced by clips. PRODUCT DISPOSAL The 2002/96/EC Directive, known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, requires that used electrical and electronic products must be disposed of separately from normal household waste in order to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery and to reduce the quantity of waste to be eliminated with a view to reducing landfill and incineration. The crossed-out dustbin logo is there to remind you that these products must be sorted separately for disposal. These rules concern all Gateway products and also all accessories, such as keyboard, mouse, speakers, remote control, etc. When you have to dispose of such products, make sure that they are correctly recycled by checking Environment - 103
