- Register as the WEEE producer in Cyprus.
- Finance arrangements for collection and recycling of WEEE arising from Baxter products that the distributor sells in Cyprus.

Where no new items are purchased from Baxter, disposal of WEEE is at the end users cost, except for where other contractual arrangements apply. Baxter is registered in the producer register managed by RECUPEL.
Please contact the distributor directly to find out how they are meeting these obligations for your waste electrical and electronic equipment.
