The WEEE directive and Biacore instrument recycling
As of 13 August 2005, the EU requires, under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC, that manufacturers and/or distributors of Electronic and/or Electrical Equipment manage and pay for the collection and further handling of WEEE products, as well as provide WEEE-related information to their customers. For Biacore systems, the following approach to complying with this Directive has been taken:
•
The customer completes and submits the on-line request form (see below)
•
The form is received by staff who are directly responsible for WEEE-related issues
•
We will arrange for pickup of the goods for delivery to Sweden, where they will be dismantled
