WEEE recycling information for Baxter Customers in Europe

The European Union (EU) has implemented the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE - 2002/96/EC) Directive to ensure the proper collection, treatment and recycling of waste electronic products in the EU countries. As a producer of electronic and electrical equipment, Baxter complies with the WEEE Directive.

Under the Directive and its implementing regulations, when customers buy new Baxter electrical and electronic equipment they are entitled to:

  • Send new equipment (purchased after 2005) back for recycling when this ultimately becomes waste*
  • Send old equipment (purchased before 2005) for recycling on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis (this varies depending on the country)*
