Collection and Recycling Arrangements in the Netherlands

Under the Dutch Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Management Regulations which came into force on January 1st 2005, Barco is responsible for the financing of collection and recycling of the following equipment:

Any electrical and electronic equipment that you bought from Barco before August 13th 2005 (referred to as Historic WEEE), which is being replaced by a new piece of equipment bought from Barco; and
Any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Barco after August 13th 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste (referred to as New WEEE).

For any other waste electrical and electronic equipment bought before August 13th 2005 which is being replaced by an item of Barco electrical and electronic equipment, the environmentally sound disposal of this other equipment is the customers’ responsibility.

In the Netherlands, Barco has joined the WeCycle compliance scheme to manage all aspects of WEEE collection and Recycling. Please contact WeCycle directly to understand what arrangements have been made to allow Barco customers to send waste equipment for recycling:
