Black Box is committed to environmentally responsible behavior. As part of this commitment, we have 
put in place a product end-of-life management solution that meets the European Union’s Waste Electrical 
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. All products shipped from the Black Box manufacturing 
facility have the appropriate WEEE markings and qualify for the recycling program. Black Box products 
that have reached the end of their useful life are to be recycled. Send all requests for recycling to Black 
Box, and we will arrange for pick up and transport to a recycling location that complies in an 
environmentally responsible manner with the EU WEEE Directive.

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the use of certain materials that are 
commonly found in electronic products. Restricted substances are heavy metals, including lead, and poly-
brominated materials. 

Black Box has eliminated or substantially reduced its usage of the prohibited materials. However, the 
RoHS Directive allows a lead-in-solder exemption for Category 3 Telecommunications Products. It is 
Black Box’s position that its network security products qualify for the lead-in-solder exemption. 

Black Box is committed to completely eliminating its use of RoHS prohibited materials as that becomes 
technically feasible. We are constantly monitoring the availability of lead-free components and the 
progress of the lead-free manufacturing processes. We pledge to continually evolve and refine our 
products and processes as viable alternatives that do not impact product reliability or performance 
become available.
