Environmental Law Update – Electronics
27th November 2002 
The Centre for Sustainable Design
SIAD-UC
Farnham
Surrey
UK

On the 11th October the EU passed the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances 
(RoHS) directives (see www.letsrecycle.com). The first sets
recycling/recovery targets for products, and all costs from the collection
points to the environmentally sound treatment, re-use and recycling will be
covered by producers for their own products. The second puts a ban on four
heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium) and the
brominated flame retardants PBB and PBDE from 1July 2006. The workshop will
also cover the EU ‘Chemicals Policy’ white  paper which is expected to have
a major impact on the electronics industry, and the latest developments
outside the EU. The latter includes a summary overview of the direction
taken by the Japanese electronics industry.
