What is happening with consumer electronics recycling in other countries?
The European Union is in the process of implementing guidance to member countries on ways to regulate e-waste. These rules will affect manufacturers, recyclers and users of electronic products. Manufacturers will be required to phase-out certain potentially hazardous substances from their products and also required to provide “take-back” options to users of their products. In Japan, similar rules are scheduled to gradually take effect over the next few years.
