Wisconsin Senate Bill 107 - 0 views

  •  
    Text of the pending Wisconsin e-waste law. This bill passed the WI Senate and arrived in the Assembly Tuesday, 6/16/09. Would require manufacturers of select consumer electronics (computers, printers and video display devices, such as TVs or monitors) to collect and recycle 80 percent of the weight of sold devices beginning in September. Beginning in February 2010, retailers can't sell electronics made by manufacturers that are not registered with WDNR. Manufacturers failing to meet their targets would be subject to a shortfall fee after 2010. Those who exceed their goals may be eligible for recycling credits. (Summary of bill taken from related article in GreenerComputing, 6/16/09.)

News - State to have an environment policy soon, India - 0 views

  • "We will soon set up an integrated e-waste facility within six months in Mumbai and Pune. We have sought expression of interest from the concerned parties to set up the units. We have also made some changes in the river regulation zone policy, which sets distance criteria for setting industries near the river bank," Nair Singh said.
  • Appealing to NGOs and citizens for ensuring that non-formal de-assembling units of electronic items do not come up, Nair Singh said that the e-waste must go to authorised recycler.
  • "It is a shock for our state that only 17 per cent sewage in the entire state is being treated. Only 24 per cent municipal solid waste is treated, that too partially. All other waste is either dumped or burnt which is damaging the general health. Mumbai and Pune together constitute 40 per cent of the country's e-waste," Nair Singh said.
