[greenyes] European Union Directive Fact Sheets

[Eric Most <most@no.address>]

INFORM just released two fact sheets on European Union Directives on
Electrical and Electronic waste.  The first,
http://www.informinc.org/fact_WEEEoverview.pdf
<http://www.informinc.org/fact_WEEEoverview.pdf> , provides an overview of
the European Union's Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE Directive) and the Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain
Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS
Directive). The second, http://www.informinc.org/fact_WEEE.pdf
<http://www.informinc.org/fact_WEEE.pdf> , examines some of the key
components and outstanding issues of the WEEE and RoHS Directives, including
implementation dates, the distinction between individual and collective
responsibility, and potential global impacts. INFORM hopes you will find
them of interest.
