RoHS and WEEE Compliance Initiatives
 
As a leading manufacturer of bar code scanning equipment with a major market presence in Europe, Opticon is actively transitioning our products to meet the both the RoHS Hazardous Substance directive in addition to implementing WEEE compliant recycling initiatives required by the European Union (EU).

RoHS
The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electric and Electronic Equipment (ROHS) is an EU directive targeted at dramatically reducing the use of substances such as lead, mercury and others in electronic equipment.  For more ROHS information please download & review the EU Directive 2002/95/EC details (pdf file).

WEEE
WEEE is the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive that requires manufacturers of electronic equipment who sell into EU countries to:
Label their equipment to notify customers that it needs to be recycled
Take back the equipment from customers at end of life
Finance its recycling and reuse
