The European Union WEEE (Waste from
Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Directive Information
The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) Directive is intended to protect the quality of the
environment and human health through the responsible use of
natural resources and the adoption of waste management strategies
that focus on recycling and reuse. This Directive requires producers
of electrical and electronic products put on the market in European
Union (EU) member countries after August 2005 to mark such
products with a crossed-out wheeled bin with a black bar symbol. If
the product’s battery or accumulator contains more than the
specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and/or cadmium (Cd)
defined in the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), then the chemical
symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or cadmium (Cd) will appear
below the crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the battery.
In the European Union, these symbols indicate that when the last end
user wishes to discard this product, it must be sent to appropriate
facilities for recovery and recycling. This Directive applies to EU
member countries only and does not apply to end users in other
countries such as the United States.
Although the initial emphasis is in Europe, Toshiba is already working
with design engineers, suppliers, and other partners to determine
appropriate worldwide product life cycle planning and end-of-life
strategies for our products. Please contact your local government for
applicable laws and regulations governing the disposal of this
product. For information on how to trade-in or recycle your product,
