Environmental
Directives
January 2003, the European Union (EU) adopted two environmental
directives, RoHS and WEEE, to contribute to the protection
of human health and environmentally sound recovery and disposal
of electrical and electronic equipment.
RoHS stands for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances and
bans the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
poly brominated biphenyls (PBBs) and poly brominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) in electronical and electronic products. This
directive comes into force 1 July 2006.
The WEEE directive, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
concentrates on the recyclability of electrical and electronic
products, and states that, from 13 August 2005 onwards, manufacturers
are required to finance the collection, treatment and recycling
and recovery of all WEEE sold under their brand.
The RoHS and WEEE directives significantly impact the design
and manufacture of electrical and electronic products. It
is pcbsino policy too
Adopt a progressive position to ensure that pcbsino clearly
complies with any legal obligations the company has
Ensure that we can appropriately support pcbsino ’s customers
in their desire to do the same
Realize whatever opportunities these directives may present
in adding to our competitive competencies portfolio
Execute these in the most cost-effective manner possible
We guarantees an impeccable quality, delivered on time. We
pay a lot of attention to our environment : we run our own
waste water and air treatment system that complies with the
most severe European standards.
This characterizes our concern for the environment and the
working conditions of our staff at Multiboard. |
