Regulatory Compliance
Governments around the world have developed legislation to address various concerns including the growing amount of waste, the harmful exposure to humans and nature of hazardous substances, and even the energy use of your products. As a result, jurisdictions ranging from Europe to China have implemented producer responsibility legislation to reduce the burden of these problems while steering companies towards a sustainable future.
Product Environmental Compliance (PEC) and producer responsibility legislation has grown in both breadth and application over the past 20 years. The period in which a producer could assemble a product from the cheapest components from the cheapest supplier without any thought as to the substances or materials used in said process is no longer acceptable given the state of global environment.
