What a Waste!
The enforcement of the WEEE and RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directives should greatly assist in the reduction of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous chemicals in our environment. WEEE and RoHS have implications for product manufacturers, component manufacturers, importers, retailers, local authorities and consumers. There are no exemptions for small companies in the Directives.
Previously, redundant or obsolete computer hardware was put in a back room to gather dust or worse still, thrown on a skip. These important Directives now make everyone responsible for disposing of IT equipment in an environmentally friendly way. However, there are still a lot of people unaware that this law will affect them.
Laws that are designed to help reduce world pollution can make an enormous impact. The ban of CFC gases has helped to reduce the hole in the ozone layer and was one of the first initiatives that got both business and the general public thinking about how our everyday lives impact our world. Today we are used to the recycling of household and business waste but more work in these areas is necessary. America, China and India are vast contributors to excess waste and more initiatives, such as the WEEE directive, are necessary to make manufacturing companies responsible for the waste they and their customers create.
