Quality & Environment
At Contour we are committed to maintaining green practices. We consider the environmental impact of our products from the design phase through to production and shipping to our clients.
Contour and WEEEThe European Union’s (EU) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC came into effect in February 2003. The directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment on the producers of such equipment. As a supplier of interconnect products (components and sub-assemblies), Contour Electronics Ltd does not directly produce EEE, as defined in WEEE’s Annex 1A. Contour’s WEEE Policy can be found here.
