PerkinElmer's Product Recycling Program
According to the EU Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the EU Council on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and the revised EU Directive 2012/19/EU, there is an obligation to organize and finance collection, treatment, and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment in accordance with the before mentioned regulations. Every producer is obliged to create a reasonable possibility to return waste electrical equipment from users other than private households.
We take our responsibility seriously and ensure a high-quality recycling process for our products when they become waste. For devices that have been used commercially or in public institutions - so-called B2B devices - we have provided convenient return and disposal solutions for you.
PerkinElmer has established a recycling agreement with the appointed service providers to organize the transport, preparation for re-use, recycling and recovery of WEEE with certified recyclers in each country.
PerkinElmer pays the costs for the treatment, recycling and recovery of PerkinElmer products. Customers pay the costs of transport to the certified recycling company (unless the WEEE regulations in that particular country are implemented in such a way that require costs of transport to also be paid by PerkinElmer).
Meaning of the symbol for the marking of electrical appliances
The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin on electrical appliances indicates that they must be collected separately and means that they must not be disposed of with household waste.
