| The EC Directive
2202/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) that mandates the producers’
responsibility to register, report, and recycle
the WEEE has been in effect since 13 August, 2005.
The transposition state of the directive to the
national legislation within the European Union
varies. Please check with the local authority for
the current transposition status for an individual
Member State.
Because it falls into the category of Medical
Devices producer, Abbott Point of Care Inc.
recognizes the importance of environmental
protection and actively takes responsibility for
minimizing the environment impact caused by our
products. To discharge this responsibility an
appropriate plan to collect, treat and recycle the
WEEE that may be generated by our products has
been implemented. |
