Product Take-Back and Recycle Program

Fluke has launched a formal product disposal Take-Back and Recycle Program in Europe that complies with the European Union Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment, also known as the "WEEE Directive".

This program will provide self-service instructions for ease of use product take-back and recycling. Equipment that is returned through this program will be handled in an environmentally safe manner using processes that meet or exceed the WEEE Directive requirements. This program is for Fluke customers who have Fluke products that have reached the end-of-life.

Program guidelines are as follows:

  • Fluke will accept Fluke branded or Fluke subsidiary branded electronic test,
    measurement and monitoring products, with or without the standard WEEE "dust-bin" symbol.
  • Return of electrical and electronic equipment requires Fluke authorization prior to return. The authorization (= WEEE registration number) can as a distributor be retrieved from your invoices or as an end user you may consult your distributor.
  • If the product to be returned is a system that requires dismantling, the customer will be responsible for all expenses associated with the dismantling and removal of the system.
  • For other questions about the environmental compliance of Fluke products contact us by e-mail.

Protecting the Environment – Fluke Recycle Program

Welcome to the Fluke recycle program. Fluke’s program provides Fluke customers an environmentally responsible solution for the return and recycling of your Fluke technology assets that is compliant with current and forthcoming regional regulations. The Fluke Recycle Program is easy to use. It has been structured to make the treatment, recovery, and recycling of Fluke products environmentally sound and cost effective. It relieves the user of the responsibility managing outdated, or used equipment. Fluke has outsourced its services to B2B Compliance. Just follow these easy steps to get started:

  1. Identify the equipment that you want to return to Fluke
  2. De-install and pack your equipment
    • If applicable, batteries removed
    • If applicable, data removed
  3. Contact Fluke / B2B Compliance to arrange for return or pickup

Recycle FAQ – Program Highlights

Q. Is the Recycle program available worldwide?

A. The program is currently available in the European Union. Please check the website for availability in your location.

Q. How is the Fluke Recycle Program managed?

A. The program enables Fluke customers to ship Fluke and Fluke subsidiary branded test, measurement and monitoring equipment to a designated location for treatment, recovery and recycling purposes.

Q. What happens to the equipment that gets returned?

A. The equipment that is returned to Fluke through this program will be handled in an environmentally safe manner through processes that comply with all applicable electronic waste regulations - e.g., EU WEEE Directive.

Q. Who pays the recycling and transport costs?

A. Fluke pays all recycling fees. Whether or not Fluke pays for transport costs of return shipments depends upon consolidation and its volume. A deposit system is economically not feasible and impractical. Control of such a system would add a huge burden to our sales program and would increase our costs or prices.

Q. What is my business’s liability for product that is returned through this program?

A. For all equipment that is returned through this program indemnifying you against liability (or releasing your business from any further liability for the equipment). Upon return Fluke assumes that users complied to Member State’s legislation with respect to safety, hazardous substances, etc.

Q. What products are included in this service?

A. Fluke will accept Fluke and Fluke subsidiary branded test, measurement and monitoring equipment in the eligible countries. Competitor branded equipment will only be accepted on a one-for-one basis at time of purchase of similar Fluke equipment.

Note: The terms "disposal", "disposed of", and "handling" refer to the treatment, recovery, recycling and environmentally sound disposal of Fluke equipment that is being discarded.
