Denmark has adopted a different approach to implementing the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive from that of other EU Member States. The WEEE Directive is transposed by the Danish Order for WEEE which came into force on August 1st 2005. Under the Order, local authorities must establish a collection system for WEEE from private households (B2C WEEE) and also for WEEE from businesses (B2B WEEE). The collection system must be established by April 1st 2006 and can be in the form of:

• a bring-it yourself scheme. This is a designated site within the Municipality assigned to receive B2C and B2B WEEE;
• a collection scheme. This is a scheme whereby a Municipality or company gather WEEE from private households and business addresses;

Denmark is the only EC Member State in which businesses can supply their WEEE for collection and recycling alongside household WEEE through local authority collection schemes.

When equipment that you bought before April 1st 2006 becomes waste (known as Historic WEEE) we recommend that you make use of the collection scheme provided free-of-charge by your local authority. If you buy a new item of Illumina equipment after April 1st 2006 to replace equipment purchased before this date (on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis) and do not want to use the free collection scheme provided by the local authority, Illumina can arrange to collect the Historic WEEE from you at your request. However, the costs for providing this service may be included in the purchase price of the new equipment that Illumina supplies to you.

For equipment that you purchase from Illumina after April 1st 2006, when this equipment becomes waste (known as New WEEE), we recommend that you also make use of the collection scheme provided free-of-charge by your local authority. If you not want to use the free collection scheme provided by the local authority, Illumina can arrange to collect the New WEEE from you at your request. However, there may be an associated cost for providing this service to you.

Details about your local authority's free collection scheme are provided by the Danish WEEE System http://www.dpa-system.dk/ You can also contact the technical administration team at your local authority for details about the free collection scheme that it provides.

Illumina products are sold in Slovenia by dealers and distributors. The dealers and distributors act as the importer of the equipment into Slovenia. Thus the dealers and distributors have the legal responsibility to:

• Register as the WEEE producer in Slovenia.
• Provide arrangements for collection and recycling of WEEE arising from Illumina products that the dealer and distributor sells in Slovenia.

Please contact Illumina to identify dealers and distributors in Slovenia:

Under the Act on the Promotion of Saving and Recycling of Resources, and the Act on the Resource Circulation of Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Vehicles 2008, Illumina is classed as WEEE producer.

Illumina has established a recycling arrangement with TES-AMM to manage all aspects of WEEE collection, treatment, recycling, and recovery in South Korea. Please contact TES-AMM below to arrange collection of the WEEE.

Under the Spanish Royal Decree 110/2015 on Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Management of its Waste, for electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Illumina after August 13th 2005, Illumina is required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery once this equipment becomes waste (WEEE).

Illumina is a member of a compliance scheme in Spain run by ‘Recyclia‘ which will handle the legal obligations for collecting and recycling WEEE via the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN).

If you have waste electrical or electronic Illumina equipment that you wish to dispose of, EARN can arrange free take-back of your WEEE within Spain, please complete the following web form to generate a reference code.

Under the Sweden Regulation on Producer Responsibility for Electrical and Electronic Equipment which came into force on August 13th 2005, for equipment that you buy from Illumina after August 13th 2005, Illumina is required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) that your new purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. The old equipment that your new purchase from Illumina replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

Under the Regulation, Illumina is also required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Illumina after August 13th 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.

Illumina products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as Illumina is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products, Illumina has decided to share these new environmental costs directly with our customers. We believe in being transparent with you on any new environmental costs that our products need to address.

Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs is:

• Illumina pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE to meet the targets set by the Swedish Regulations;
• Illumina pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of the Swedish Regulations;
• You pay for transportation of your WEEE to Illumina's appointed recycler in Sweden.

Illumina has established a recycling contract with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN recycling facility in Sweden. All New WEEE that arises from the purchase of Illumina products is classed as non-hazardous waste.

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to the recycler.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a European Directive which requires producers to make arrangements for the collection and recycling of WEEE. The Directive is transposed into national law by EU Member States. Switzerland is not a member of the European Union or of the European Economic Area, and therefore has no obligation to follow EU policy.

Producer responsibility for the take-back of electrical and electronic equipment in Switzerland is covered by the Ordinance on the Return, Take-back and Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ORDEE). The Ordinance came into force on July 1st 1998 and an amendment came into force in January 2005 which extended the scope of the Ordinance to increase the number of categories of electrical and electronic equipment which are covered.

The requirements of ORDEE are different from the requirements of the WEEE Directive. In particular, the categories of equipment which are covered by ORDEE do not include any of the types of equipment produced by Illumina. ORDEE does not place any requirements on Illumina, or any distributors of Illumina products, to provide collection and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment in Switzerland.

Illumina products are sold in Taiwan by dealers and distributors. The dealers and distributors act as the importer of the equipment into Taiwan.

Illumina has established a recycling arrangement with TES-AMM to manage all aspects of WEEE collection, treatment, recycling, and recovery in Taiwan. Please contact TES-AMM below to arrange collection of the WEEE.

The old equipment that your new purchase from Illumina replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

Illumina has established a recycling contract with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN recycling facility in the UK. All New WEEE that arises from the purchase of Illumina products is classed as non-hazardous waste and does not contain Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) to class it as hazardous WEEE. As the waste holder, it is your responsibility to confirm that the waste Illumina equipment has not become hazardous during the product use. For example, if the equipment has become contaminated during use, please follow the recommended decontamination procedure.

To comply with the UK Duty of Care Regulations the transport of your waste to the recycler must be accompanied by suitable documentation. You must also keep a signed copy of this documentation for two years.
