Austria – Collection and Recycling

Radware equipment is sold in Austria by dealers. The dealer acts as the importer of the equipment into Austria and has the legal responsibility to:

  • Register as the WEEE producer in Austria
  • Finance arrangements for collection and recycling of WEEE arising from Radware equipment sold by the dealer in Austria

Under the Austrian Ordinance on Waste Prevention, Collection and Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Ordinance) that came into force on August 13th 2005, for equipment that you buy from a Radware dealer after August 13th 2005, the dealer is required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of WEEE that your new purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. The old equipment that your new purchase from a Radware dealer replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

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

Radware has decided to provide WEEE collection and recycling on behalf of its dealers in Austria.

Radware products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as Radware is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products Radware 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:

  • You pay for transportation of your WEEE to Radware's appointed recycler in Austria
  • Radware pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE to meet the targets set by the Act
  • Radware pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Chief Inspector of Environmental Protection to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of the Act

Radware 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 facility in Austria. All Historic and New WEEE that arises from the purchase of Radware products is classed as non-hazardous waste*

* Radware customers sending equipment for recycling are advised that you MUST remove all batteries PRIOR to collection to avoid the equipment being classed as hazardous waste

Under Austrian waste management regulations, you are free to use any carrier you wish to collect and transport the Historic and New WEEE to the EARN recycler.

Under the Spanish Royal Decree 208/2005 on Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Management of its Waste which came into force on August 13th 2005, for equipment that you buy from a Radware dealer after August 13th 2005, the dealer is required to finance 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 the Radware dealer replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

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

Radware has decided to provide WEEE collection and recycling on behalf of its dealers in Spain.

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

Radware products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as Radware is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products Radware 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:

  • You pay for transportation of your WEEE to Radware's appointed recycler in Sweden.
  • Radware pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE to meet the targets set by the Swedish Regulation
  • Radware 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 Regulation

Radware 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 facility in Sweden. All historic and new WEEE that arises from the purchase of Radware products is classed as non-hazardous waste*

* Radware customers sending equipment for recycling are advised that you MUST remove all batteries PRIOR to collection to avoid the equipment being classed as hazardous waste

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to the recycler. To request collection and transport of WEEE, please use the following link:
