RE4view is a bimonthly newsletter with no advertising that provides clear, concise and impartial information on the WEEE, EEE and RoHS directives' progress through the European Parliament as well as future standards' developments.
Uniquely the newsletter also reviews technological developments, giving an understanding of the economic and reliability implications of using less hazardous or more recyclable materials.
Pressure is growing on manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment for ecologically friendly products, and producers need to be taking action now to discover what aspects of their equipment design will need to change.
Equipment needs to be designed to be recycled easily with the maximum recovery of materials for reuse.
RE4view is written to help companies examine advances in recycling technology and understand the impact of changes to legislation, in particular the following three proposed directives.
The Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) will increase recycling and recovery of waste from equipment.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) will ban lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the flame-retardants PBBs and PBDEs.
Alongside WEEE, the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (EEE) will encourage environmental design for electrical and electronic products across the life cycle.
