INDUSTRY GROUPS FIGHT NEW YORK E-WASTE REGULATION

摘要

The CEA and the ITI have filed a legal challenge against New York City plans that would mandate manufacturers to provide free, door-to-door electronics collection to city residents. New York began promoting the required-electronics-recycling regulation in February 2008. In doing so, the city cited a report by the Environmental Protection Agency that estimated city residents buy almost 12 million electronic devices, or 92,000 tons of electronics, every year.
