Commerce Department Releases Report on E-Waste Policy Issues

The Technology Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce has released a report that highlights issues facing manufacturers, retailers, recyclers and others as they adopt policies and practices to manage discarded electronic products.

The report, entitled Recycling Technology Products: An Overview of E-Waste Policy Issues, provides a detailed overview of the different components of an electronic recycling system, and describes different recycling models in use or under discussion in the United States and around the world. However, the most valuable sections of the report may be the appendices, which incorporate in a single document international, federal, state and local legislation and current initiatives involving the recycling of electronic waste.

Readers can view the complete text of the report on e-waste policy issues at this link.

Elliott Laboratories and ECMG form Alliance for EMC Services in US and Overseas Markets

SUNNYVALE, CA, October 12 - Elliott Laboratories and EMC Compliance Management Group (ECMG) have formed an alliance to provide EMC testing and consulting services to ECMG customers in the US and overseas markets including China and Taiwan. Effective immediately, ECMG will outsource all of its US-based EMC business to Elliott Laboratories and the two companies will work jointly to expand their business relationship to provide compliance testing and consulting services to off-shore manufacturers. ECMG's choice of Elliott Laboratories for this alliance is testimony to Elliott's efforts to develop the industry's leading EMC engineering facilities and staff in Northern California.

"We are very excited to enter into this alliance with ECMG," said Eddie Pavlu, President of Elliott Laboratories. "This partnership reflects our continuing efforts to consolidate the EMC testing and consulting business here in the San Francisco Bay Area and provides us with a strong partner to support our expansion into China and Taiwan where we can bring our strong technical expertise and extensive accreditations to offshore manufacturers. We look forward to working closely with ECMG and expanding this alliance as we move ahead together."

Elliott Laboratories operates one of the West Coast's premier EMC testing facilities in Fremont, California, with one 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber and two 5-meter semi-anechoic chambers, in addition to a full suite of EMC immunity/susceptibility labs. And in the company's Sunnyvale, California facility, a two acre Open Area Test Site (OATS) complex houses 4 test sites capable of testing at 3-meter and 10-meter distances. Additionally, the Sunnyvale facility houses Elliott's two 3-meter chambers, ESD Lab, Screen Room, EMC debug lab, Product Safety lab and more. These two facilities, lying just 15 miles apart, represent one of the most modern and high bandwidth testing centers in the industry, capable of servicing the needs of a wide range of product manufacturers.
