Disposing of Tape Cartridges
Under the current rules of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), regulation 40CFR261, the LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge is classified
as non-hazardous waste. As such, it may be disposed of in the same
way as normal office trash. These regulations are amended from time to
time, and you should review them at the time of disposal.
If your local, state, country (non-U.S.A.), or regional regulations are
more restrictive than EPA 40CFR261, you must review them before you

1. Recommended: The recommended operational/storage environmental envelope provides
guidance on the environmental range for optimal performance and high reliability. This
environmental range protects for 30-year archival storage. (Derate the maximum recommended dry-
bulb temperature by 1°C/300 m above 1,800 m (1.8°F/1,000 feet above 6,000 feet)).
2. Allowed: The allowable operational/storage environmental envelope defines the test limits to
verify that the equipment will function within the environmental envelope. This environmental
range is defined for operational storage of less than 6 months. (Derate the maximum dry-bulb
temperature by 1°C/300 m above 900 m (1.8°F/1,000 feet above 3,000 feet)).
3. Shipping: When shipping media over extended environmental ranges, shipping times should be
limited to minimize the duration of media being exposed to varying environmental conditions at
lower and upper ranges.
