t Lexmark, our goal is to supply customers with the best printing solutions in the world, solutions that are also best for the environment.As part of this commitment, Lexmark provides more choice to our customers to make it easier for them to return their end of life equipment to ensure their reuse and recovery.

Changing habits for the better
he content of hazardous components in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is a major concern for human health and theenvironment during the waste management and recycling phases. Thus waste from this equipment must be disposed of correctly. That’s why we support and encourage the implementation of the European WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipement), which requires that household waste from electrical and electronic equipment has to be collected separately from everyday for proper recycling.Lexmark equipment is marked according to the requirements of the EU WEEE Directive. The special «crossed out wheeled bin» symbol is placed on products to indicate that waste from electrical and electronic equipment must be subject to a selective collection. We make it convenient for you to discard of Lexmark equipment that has reached the end of its useful life.
