7 Disposal and Environment
UR robots must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable national laws, regu-
lations and standards.
UR robots are produced with restricted use of hazardous substances to protect the en-
vironment; as defined by the European RoHS directive 2011/65/EU. These substances
include mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium VI, polybrominated biphenyls and poly-
brominated diphenyl ethers.
Fee for disposal and handling of electronic waste of UR robots sold on the Danish
market is prepaid to DPA-system by Universal Robots A/S. Importers in countries
covered by the European WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU must make their own regis-
tration to the national WEEE register of their country. The fee is typically less than
1€/robot. A list of national registers can be found here: https://www.ewrn.org/
