7 Disposal and Environment
UR robots must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable national laws,
regulations and standards.
UR robots are produced with restricted use of hazardous substances to protect the
environment; as defined by the European RoHS directive 2011/65/EU. These sub-
stances include mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium VI, polybrominated biphenyls
and polybrominated 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.
