The WEEE marking on Lenovo products applies to countries with WEEE
and e-waste regulations (for example, European Directive 2002/96/EC,
India E-Waste Management & Handling Rules, 2011) . Appliances are
labeled in accordance with local regulations concerning waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE). These regulations determine the framework
for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable within each
geography. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the
product is not to be thrown away, but rather put in the established collective
systems for reclaiming these end of life products.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking
must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the
collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, and recovery
of WEEE and to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment
and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. For
