Key Updates on EU Environmental Regulations and China RoHS

Webinar Overview

Twenty-two years after the EU RoHS Directive was signed into force, governments continue expanding their direction to manufacturing industries on how to address – and hopefully solve – environmental problems created over the past two centuries since the dawn of the industrial revolution. The European Union is leading this charge, which is where most of the focus will be.

We’ll cover recent key updates and issues that could have significant effects on manufacturers, their approaches to product development, and their supply chains.
