Learn the latest global environment
developments and best practices on RoHS, WEEE, Energy Efficiency, and more
from AeA, the only association lobbying on IT environment issues at the
state, federal and international levels. Hear the latest analysis from
the leading legal WEEE/RoHS source, Allen & Overy, LLP and receive European
Environment Updates directly from Steve Andrews, UK Department of Trade and
Industry (a leading government official). Additionally, hear best
practices from industry peers about how technology companies are complying
with these laws, get your questions answered and network with your industry
peers.
In this interactive seminar, you will
learn:
- How to comply with EU and China
regulations that require manufacturers to finance the recycling and
disposal of most electronics waste (WEEE Directive) and restrict the use
of six Hazardous materials (RoHS Directive).
- How to ensure your products are not
stopped, or worse, rejected, at the border of an important overseas
market.
- About the status of similar legislation in
China, and in state legislatures, and what this means for the high-tech
industry.
- How focusing on eco-design & energy
efficiency can give you a competitive advantage.
- How REACH (an EU regulation governing the
Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals) applies to your
company.
- Best practices from your peers.
Who should attend?
This seminar is highly recommended for all
companies who sell or have customers that sell into foreign markets.
This program is designed to enable your managers, compliance executives,
legal departments and environmental and facilities professionals to better
understand and comply with these directives. We strongly encourage you
to bring your business and channel partners with you, since working together
on these new requirements is essential to your company's success.
