Green Services & RoHS and WEEE Directive

How is RoHS and WEEE effecting your business?

What are you doing about RoHS? Do you have a complete understanding of WEEE? How are these two pieces of legislation effecting your business? Are you prepared for the new March 1, 2007, China RoHS directive?

As an electronics company, you're under constant pressure to make your products RoHS compliant. You are also facing pressures to comply with WEEE. Unfortunately, there is disparate information and a significant lack of understanding when it comes to past and upcoming legislation.

Four main concerns to consider

Our role at Sanmina-SCI is to partner with you. To ensure we meet the needs of your organization, we've located the following top four concerns customers like you are facing.

Concern One: How does RoHS/WEEE impact my business?

Concern Two: If I analyze my supply chain to make it RoHS compliant, will I be able to find the necessary replacement parts?

Concern Three: Will I be able to convert my products to RoHS compliant and start manufacturing within the time frames being dictated by current legislation?

Concern Four: How do I get customers to return product for recycling in order to comply with WEEE legislation?

Fortunately, we've got the answers. We've assembled a multi-disciplined task force specifically assigned to RoHS and WEEE to help our customers work through the fundamentals of compliance, such as providing WEEE recycling centers, scrubbing BOMs and AVLs for compliant components, designing and launching RoHS-compliant products and providing technical guidance through the turbulent waters of this legislation.
