In 2003, the European Parliament issued a directive banning the use of six hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). The directive's objective is to prevent the presence of hazardous materials in waste once the product is disposed of.
Green Coat, the first metal finishing plant in Israel to have an ISO 14001 certificate, adopted the RoHS as a way of life.
We are already prepared to implement the solutions relevant for the finishing industry. The directive will come into force on July 2006 and become an obligatory standard in EU countries at the beginning of 2008.
The worldwide electronics industry, then, is committed to adopting the RoHS.
Israel, as an export-oriented country, must prepare itself accordingly.
Protecting the environment, as part of the worldwide effort to preserve the earth for the sake of future generations, is an important cause we are proud in being part of. Chronmickel's Engineering Department is prepared to answer any question on the issue and find a proper solution.
