Even though Europe may be the only one seen pushing this legislation, environmental product compliance is here to stay and is catching on globally. Don't blame the EU for the legislation. If not Europe, China or another major market would be the starting point. The public is demanding products that are more environmentally friendly and the markets are expanding for green products. If your company has not started to think this way and adjust its product lines accordingly, best do it now, otherwise it will soon be too late.
