Does your company use any substances whose environmental and legal status concerns you?

If so please read on.

The Problem

There are many substances used in industry today that are banned or will be banned in the near future, as a result of directives like:

  • The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (The Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances),
  • ELV (End of Life Vehicle)
  • REACH (covering the restriction and certification of many industrial chemicals)

To figure out which substances are covered can take hours of trawling through the relevant pieces of legislation.

The list provides links to further sources of information and provides suggested more environmentally friendly alternatives. For any company looking to comply with many EC directives and for companies who want to gain competitive advantage by moving beyond mere compliance, this list is an invaluable tool.
