Appendix A: WEEE Advisement Disposal and
Acknowledgment
_____________________________________________________________________
In 2002 the European Union introduced the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). The main aim of the Directive is to ensure that WEEE is collected and treated
separately. WEEE may contain hazardous substances that should not end-up in the (human)
environment and can have adverse effects on it if they do.
Furthermore, WEEE is a vast source of raw materials. With the ever rising worldwide demand for
new equipment and the ever decreasing volume of natural raw materials, letting this potential
source go to waste is unacceptable.
If equipment is collected separately, the equipment can be recycled and up to 85 to 90% of the
equipment can be re-used as new material, saving the use of virgin raw materials and energy of
producing these.
For above reasons, Fusion-io expects customers to dispose of the material in an environmentally
friendly way. Electrical and Electronic Equipment is labeled with the following "crossed-out,
wheeled-bin" symbol indicating that the equipment should be disposed of, by the end user,
separate from other types of waste.
The EU Directive and national legislation define various situations and financing options for doing
so. Customers should contact their sales representative/dealer/distributor and our company on
disposal, collection and recycling options and terms and conditions in your country.
