Gordon Wed, 04 Mar 2009 11:54:13 +0000 http://www.techforecasters.com/weblog/?p=232#comment-19070 The European Union's Energy using Products (EuP) Directive is a vehicle for measuring and reducing energy consumption in all phases of manufacturing through use and afterward. It has been signed into law, and application to various product categories are being phased in over time. We expect other such legislation, in the ways that others of the world's regulators developed substance-restriction requirements patterned after the EU's RoHS Directive. You can expect to see a TFI blog entry on this topic later in the month. Thanks for asking.

Later this month, I'll be meeting with people responsible for these requirements in the UK. You--and all of our blog readers--are welcome to forward questions, concerns, ideas to me and I'll report back to each person. -Pam If your electronic products will be distributed in Europe, they may be subject to the EU’s RoHS, WEEE, and EuP directives, and the REACH regulation.

I am an entrepreneur in concept stage. What specific government environmental mandates, if any, are in existence or pending in future on OEM companies of high-tech products (manufacturing and distribution)? I'd appreciate if you can point me to some information sources. Thank you. Best Regards, Ramesh Pamela,
