The latest reference platform kit from Arrow Electronics simplifies the design, evaluation, prototyping and debugging of DSL-based equipment for use in SOHO environments.
In partnership with ERA Technology, a UK-based technology consultant, Arrow has condensed and compiled practical information for making sense of WEEE in one reference tool, the "Common sense guide to WEEE compliance".
With the WEEE clock already running, electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers have little time to understand the requirements and timelines focused on the collection, treatment, recovery and recycling of end products sold in Europe.
"Many manufacturers are unaware, poorly informed or confused about the requirements and implications regarding preparation for WEEE compliance", said Leonie Tipton, Vice President, Global Supply Chain Programmes, Arrow Electronics.
"Arrow's guide is intended to clarify the business realities of WEEE and provide critical country-specific information that will help manufacturers focus their WEEE-related compliance activities on the most critical short-term requirements", said Tipton.
