Position Statement

TREK, INC. supports the initiatives of both the “Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances” (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the European Union on “Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” (WEEE).

The RoHS directive restricts the use of specific hazardous substances in the manufacture of various types of electrical and electronic equipment while the WEEE directive classifies electrical and electronic equipment and sets requirements for collecting, recycling and recovery for WEEE purposes. Although TREK, INC. products are not included within the scope of the RoHS directive, and only a few Trek products are within the scope of the WEEE directive, we believe it is in the best interest of the world community for all Trek products to fully conform to both directives. We are therefore in the process of eliminating the restricted hazardous substances from our products as well as designing all new products to be RoHS/WEEE compliant.

In 2003, TREK, INC. assembled a cross-functional team committed to the goal of making TREK, INC.’s products RoHS/WEEE compliant. This team has been working with customers, suppliers, and industry experts to meet this goal. Many of TREK, INC.’s products are already RoHS/WEEE compliant while other products are being converted as RoHS components become available. If you have any questions about the compliance status of our products, please contact our Customer Service Group at 1-800-For-Trek (1-800-367-8735) or by e-mail at custserv@trekinc.com.
