EU Environmental Legislation Workshop:
WEEE, RoHS and EuP Compliance Requirements

The EU is bringing in tough laws on material content and recycling of electrical and electronic goods to protect the environment...with even tougher measures in the pipeline!

The directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 2002/96/EC(WEEE) and the directive on the Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment 2002/95/EC(RoHS) came into force on February 13, 2004. Starting July 1, 2006 products containing the banned substances cannot be sold in the EU and by the end of 2006 producers (you!) must meet mandatory levels of recovery and recycling of your waste products in the EU.

Also in the pipeline is the proposed framework directive on Energy Using Products (EuP) due to be in effect from July 1, 2006. This directive will mandate Member States to bring in compulsory Eco-design requirements under the CE Marking regime, to reduce life cycle environmental impacts of products.
