BANNOCKBURN, IL – A group of leading solder manufacturers has issued a position statement showing its support for government intervention as a means to stop the flow of controversial metal ores from Congolese mines.
The EU WEEE Directive, in place since Aug. 13, 2005, could have served as a model for what to do and what not to do when state legislatures propose and enact e-waste Legislation. It would appear that many of the same issues facing manufacturers that place products on the market in the EU are being repeated in thestates' legislation.
