The Rules are
Changing.
In
Europe it is called Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
legislation. In California, it's the Reduction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) Act. But wherever you are and wherever your products sell,
it is how all business will likely be done in the near future. China
has similar legislation in the works, as does Japan.
In short, manufacturers
are increasingly judged responsible for the environmental impact
of their products before, during and after the product's useful
life. Soon, in much of the world, your ability to compete as a manufacturer
will be tied directly to the cradle-to-grave environmental footprint
of your products.
In the worst
case, major markets will legally close overnight to all products
containing restricted materials. The best-case scenario is not much
better. The competitive landscape will change so significantly that
for organizations which cannot comply competition will exist in
theory only.
A Challenge
unlike any you have ever faced.
The challenges
are fierce. It is mandatory to achieve:
- Complete
tracking of component makeup both for your products and your suppliers'
- Effective
communication of this information to all governing bodies involved
- Protection
of your trade secrets during compliance
- Efficient
communication within your organization to expedite product design/redesign
and manufacture
- A new method
of developing and initiating engineering changes to existing product
lines
· …and
many other issues.
