LGI’s Wheeled Bin Labels are RoHS compliant and specifically engineered to meet the graphical and endurance requirements of the WEEE directive. LGI’s WEEE labels are made from durable polyester with a permanent adhesive and a UV overlaminate ensuring that the label will last the life of EEE products.

WEEE Directive

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive (2002/96/EC) is intended to promote recycling of electrical and electronic equipment and their components at end of life. The WEEE directive:

• Applies to all those involved in manufacturing, selling, distributing, recycling or treating electrical and electronic equipment in the EU.
• Mandates a number of recycling procedures, lays out responsibilities, and sets a series of recycling and waste treatment goals.
• Requires that all products be marked with the "wheelie bin" symbol to indicate that they may not be discarded for curbside pick up.
