Sustainable development depends on our ability to make the ‘greening’ of the economy a reality – to ensure that buying green becomes a right and not a luxury and that selling green becomes a competitive advantage. This will only happen if, by analysing the life cycle of products, we quantify their environmental features, from project stage to disposal, and thus include these environmental costs in the product’s final price.
The directives on electrical and electronic equipment that have been adopted today represent an extremely significant step in this direction because on the one hand they will force producers to reduce their use of certain dangerous substances, such as lead, mercury and cadmium, in electrical and electronic equipment and on the other, they will promote the collection, reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic waste, making the producer responsible for funding these systems."@en1
