RoHS and WEEE at Orbis
Orbis has joined a producer responsibility organization in Finland and Estonia and will join one in Sweden as and when possible. Orbis will also take individual responsibility for its own products and thus will take back used products unless separately agreed with the customer.
At Orbis, we recognize that the WEEE directive will be implemented in each EU Member State's national legislation differently. In many European countries this process hasn´t been finalized yet. We are continually monitoring legislative developments in each country relevant to our operations and once national legislation is enacted in each, we have the possibility to advance with registration and actual take-back obligations. In most countries we will be joining an appropriate Producer Responsibility Organization. In addition, we will be offering our customers a take-back possibility as an additional service. All our products are duly marked in accordance with requirements as set out in the WEEE directive.
All our products falling within the scope of the RoHS directive are compliant, if not otherwise agreed with the customer. Our RoHS compliance will be monitored by written declarations from our suppliers, which we shall record in a technical file. Orbis' RoHS compliant products will not be additionally labeled. RoHS compliance of our products will be specified with order confirmation.
