LGInternational launches WEEE labels for electrical and electronic equipment

LGInternational, of Portland, Oregon, has launched a line of WEEE labels for marking electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The WEEE labels can be ordered in two standard colors and sizes or custom WEEE labels can be produced based on client specifications.

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. It mandates a number of recycling procedures, lays out responsibilities, and sets a series of recycling and waste treatment goals.  The directive requires that all products be marked with the "wheelie bin" symbol to indicate that they may not be discarded for curbside pick up.

LGI’s ‘Wheeled Bin’ Labels are RoHS compliant and specifically engineered to meet the graphical and endurance requirements of the WEEE directive. The 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. Labels are supplied in rolls of 500 and can be ordered in quantities of 500 or 5000. LGI also produces custom WEEE labels, including labels where the WEEE symbol (crossed out wheelie bin) is integrated with other product labeling.
