On January 27th, 2003, The European Union established two new directives known as WEEE & RoHS. WEEE, Waste from Electrical & Electronic Equipment Directive, requires the collection and treatment of electronic & electrical equipment (EEE) at the end of the products’ life. WEEE is effective from August 13th, 2005. Every manufacturer must provide information on re-use and treatment for new EEEs one year before placing them onto the market, in order to inform re-use centers, treatment and recycling facilities. RoHS, Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances, bans the sale of electrical and electronic products containing specific toxic contaminants: Lead, Mercury, Chromium, Cadmium, and Brominated flame retardants (PBBs & PBDEs). RoHS will be effective from July 1st, 2006. Korenix Technology understands the value of clean environment and is working on producing Green Products according to RoHS and WEEE directives. 1.
