Responsibility for establishing and implementing this policy is carried by the Managing Director and this responsibility is discharged by the Environment Manager.

This policy and the arrangements for its implementation are reviewed following the introduction of new services or activities, new materials and when environmental legislation relevant to the company is introduced or amended. The time between reviews will not exceed 12 months.

RoHS

Starting 1 July 2006, the European Union (EU) directive 2002/95/EC, known as the "Restrictions on the use of Hazardous Substances in electronic equipment" (or RoHS), bans the sale of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants. This law requires manufacturers to find new materials and develop new engineering processes for the creation of common electronic equipment, including network adapters.

CABLECO.COM Ltd is committed to offering RoHS compliant products to our client base. In working with our raw materials suppliers, we continue to update our database, qualifying those products that are presently compliant and those that will be in the near future.
