Automotive Environmental Workshop (4th December)

This year the national governments within the European Union will be
bringing the End of Life Vehicles Directive (see 'legislation' on seeba
website) on to their statue books. It is having a major impact on how
companies operate in the automotive sector. In addition the global drive 
to reduce CO2 is having a considerable influence on both engine design and
the use of alternative fuels. The workshop covers both of these 
aspects, looking at the impact on design, materials, waste management, 
engine design, and alternative fuels. We are lucky to have some of 
leading expert from these fields to present at the workshop.

Eco-design and its Integration in Company Management Systems (5th December)

Existing, new, and proposed environmental product legislation (see

requirements. This workshop is an in-depth look at what all companies
should be doing now, if they wish to remain competitive. The day will
include presentations from leading manufacturing companies, and
organisations and includes presentations on legislation, eco-design
case studies and techniques, the move to integrate environmental and
quality systems; impact of WEEE on the mobile phone industry, and new
eco-design tools.

*** FREE Workshops 2004: WEEE & RoHS Roadshow - see
www.cfsd.org.uk/seeba/roadshows ****

Just a half a day of your time attending this Roadshow could save you money
and the risk of losing substantial business because you were 
not aware of the new legislation coming into force on Waste from Electrical
& Electronic Equipment (WEEE)and Restriction of Certain 
Hazardous Substances (RoHS). These will impact all electrical and
electronic manufacturers, systems integrators, assemblers and 
importers. Six FREE events will be organised throughout the South-East from
January to April 2004 with sponsorship from South East 
England Development Agency and support from the Environment Agency,
Engineering Employers Federation, Federation of Small 
Businesses, The Institution of Electrical Engineers, CEAC, Hampshire County
Council, Surrey Economic Partnership, Sussex Enterprise, 
KSBP, OxSBP and Heyford Park. For information on each of the six workshops
please go to www.cfsd.org.uk/seeba/roadshows
