As you can see from our Quality Policy Statement above, Samtec is an environmentally conscious company committed to staying aligned with the environmental directives and "green" policies being implemented worldwide. This includes the expanding lead-free initiative, the European ELV Legislation, the WEEE Directive, the RoHS Directive, as well as many other forth-coming global environmental policies.
The majority of Samtec products are compliant with the EU WEEE and RoHS Directives as they are currently written.
WEEE Requirements
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE - 2002/96/EG) came into force throughout Europe on 13 August 2005 and was amended by the recast Directive 2012/19/EU. The purpose of this Directive is to prevent uncontrolled disposal of WEEE and to put it to good use, recycling or other form of recovery. In the following, SAMTEC Inc. explains the recycling solution based on this WEEE directive.
For more information about the WEEE Directive, see the following link: EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (European Commission)
According to this directive, SAMTEC products are considered B2B products and are subsequently labelled in accordance with the WEEE directive. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is placed on all products that must be disposed of in accordance with this directive.
If you find the crossed-out wheeled bin on a product (its labeling or its packaging) that you have purchased from Samtec; take note of the information detailed in the document titled “Samtec WEEE Requirements and Take Back Scheme“ (linked below) when disposing of the product.
