Collection and Recycling
Arrangements in the Netherlands |

Under the Dutch Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Management Regulations which came into force on January 1st 2005,
for equipment that you buy from TANDBERG after August 13th 2005, TANDBERG is
required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of
WEEE that your new purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis.
The old equipment that your new purchase from TANDBERG replaces is referred
to as Historic WEEE.
Under the WEEE Management Regulations, TANDBERG is also required
to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical
and electronic equipment that you buy from TANDBERG after August 13th 2005,
when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as
New WEEE.
TANDBERG products are very competitively priced. Any new
increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as TANDBERG is normally
reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing
the prices of our products, TANDBERG has decided to share these new environmental
costs directly with our customers. We believe in being transparent with you
on any new environmental costs that our products need to address.
Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs is:
- TANDBERG pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the
WEEE to meet the targets set by the WEEE Management Regulations.
- TANDBERG pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Ministry
of Spatial Planning, Housing and The Environment (VROM) to demonstrate
compliance with all administrative requirements of the WEEE Management
Regulations.
- you pay for transportation of your WEEE to TANDBERG's appointed recycler
in the Netherlands.
TANDBERG has established a recycling contract with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN recycling facility in
the Netherlands. All New WEEE that arises from the purchase of TANDBERG products
is classed as non-hazardous waste.
It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to the recycler. In order to meet the requirements
for waste disposal as stipulated by the Environmental Management Act 2004,
you should use one of the following carriers (which hold a valid Waste Carriers
licence):
| Waste Carrier |
Telephone
Number |
Website |
| 0800 1234 |

For larger quantities of waste, you may want to contact the recycler directly to arrange and pay for alternative collection methods.
The EARN recycling facility in the Netherlands is:
In order to help EARN identify TANDBERG equipment upon arrival
at the recycler's address, please download the Recycling
Label for Dutch Customers. Complete the label with
your company details and attach it to a suitable box for transport to EARN.
