Under the Italian Decree to implement 2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive which came into force on August 13th 2005, for equipment that you buy from 爱游戏平台注册登录 after December 31st 2008, 爱游戏平台注册登录 is required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of WEEE that your new purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. This is providing the weight of the old equipment is less than double that of the new purchase. The old equipment that your new purchase from 爱游戏平台注册登录 replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE. Under the Italian Decree, this take-back system will be established in 2008.

Under the Decree, 爱游戏平台注册登录 is also required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from 爱游戏平台注册登录 after December 31st 2008, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.

爱游戏平台注册登录 products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as 爱游戏平台注册登录 is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products 爱游戏平台注册登录 has decided to share these new environmental costs directly with our customers. We believe in being transparent with you on any new environmental costs that our products need to address.

Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs are:

• You pay for transportation of your WEEE to 爱游戏平台注册登录 ’s appointed recycler in Italy.
• 爱游戏平台注册登录 pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE to meet the targets set by the Italian Decree.
• 爱游戏平台注册登录 pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Ministry of Environment to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of the Italian Decree

Any equipment likely to be contaminated MUST be certified as clean and free from contamination by following the recommended decontamination procedure prior to collection.

All Historic and New WEEE that arises from the purchase of 爱游戏平台注册登录 products will be classed as non-hazardous waste. 爱游戏平台注册登录 has established a recycling contract with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN facility in Italy.

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to EARN. In order to meet Italian regulations for waste disposal, you should use one of the following carriers (which will hold a valid Waste Carriers License prior to producer take-back obligations beginning in Italy):
