The idea of sustainability and environmental protection has become the primary consideration
when designing and manufacturing electronic products worldwide. Currently, the European
Union has laid out various regulations in support for an eco-friendly environment
such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive (RoHS) and the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE). The European Union requires that the
electrical and electronic equipment sold into the EU market must be recyclable and
be taken back from the customers at the end of the lifespan. In addition, six substances
including lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, polybrominated biphenyls
(PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are banned or restricted in any
products.
While
the issue with global warming is becoming seriously addressed, everyone should pay
more attention to the environment we have by reducing waste and reducing the use
of non-renewable resources. Companies with the spirit of entrepreneurship should
take actions in reducing negative environmental impacts. FEC is a committed company
in providing environmental friendly products, increasing in the use of recyclable
materials, designing products with no restricted substances and producing energy
efficient and durable products. In addition, FEC requires the suppliers to comply
with the RoHS and WEEE directives with environmentally friendly and recyclable parts
to meet our eco-friendly policy.
