The product compliance initiatives of Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and their effects on the global supply network are the tip of the iceberg when considering the environmental compliance initiatives with which manufacturers must deal (see “RoHS and WEEE: It's an Executive Problem”).
