Electrical and electronic products widely affect people’s daily life, and their environmental safety has attracted growing public attention. After disposal, these products contain toxic and hazardous substances that severely contaminate soil and water. Poisonous gas released by incineration also harms the atmosphere and human health.
Following the enforcement of the EU RoHS Directive in 2006, countries around the world have issued special regulations for electrical and electronic products to restrict hazardous substances. On July 1, 2011, the EU issued Directive 2011/65/EU to update RoHS, extending its scope to all electrical and electronic products and requiring CE marking. In recent years, more restricted substances for electrical and electronic items have been introduced, such as substances regulated under EU REACH. Major global electronics manufacturers implement stricter controls on toxic substances than statutory requirements.
