European Commission Proposes Revised Laws On Recycling And Use Of Hazardous Substances In Electrical And Electronic Equipment

摘要

Improving implementation and enforcement of laws on electrical and electronic equipment and cutting unnecessary administrative burden are the main objectives of the revised directives proposed by the European Commission. The directives on the collection and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment and on the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment - the so-called WEEE and RoHS directives - have been in force since 2004 but there is room for further improvement and simplification.
