Special Products and Materials

Electrical and Electronic wastes (RoHS and WEE)

RoHS (Restriction of hazardous substance)
WEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronics)
The wide spread use of electro technical products has drawn increased attention to their impact on the environment .In many countries all over the world this has resulted in the adaptation of regulations affecting wastes, substances and energy use of electrotechnical products. The use of certain substances like Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr IV) and some types of brominated flame retardants like Polybrominated Biphenyls,PBB, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, PBDE) in electrotechnical products is regulated in current and proposed legislation e.g. in:

	European Union (EU) Directive on the “Reduction of certain Hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (ROHS)
	Chinese draft legislation on ‘Management methods on the prevention and control of pollution caused by electronic information products’
	US (California) Electronic waste recycling Act of 2003 (S.B 20) and electronic waste, advance Disposal Fee

The EU RoHS directive prohibits Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr IV) and some types of brominated flame retardants like Polybrominated Biphenyls, PBB, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, PBDE substances from being used in electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) from 1st July 2006
