world, solutionsthat 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. That’s good for the customer
and beneficial for the environment.

Changing habits for the better
he content of hazardous components in electrical and electronic equipment(EEE) is a major concern for
human health and the environment 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 collectedseparately 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 ofits useful life.
