Arrow's Global Commitment
Arrow is committed to providing efficient, responsible, global environmental solutions that help our customers meet the challenges of environmental compliance.
It is clear that the many environmental regulations being implemented throughout the world will affect everyone in the electronics industry. Lead is getting the most publicity because of its prevalence in solder pastes, but other substances such as mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and a number of fire-retardant chemicals are also on the list of banned substances. Likewise, the European Union's RoHS and WEEE regulations are thought to be the biggest hurdle to overcome, but China, Japan, and several states in the US are quickly enacting their own recycling requirements and/or restrictions on hazardous substances. The reality is that regardless of where you do business, or what role you play in the supply chain, you will need to think about and plan for Going Green.
We believe that the key to successful transition planning is based on:
- Access to timely and reliable information
- Proactive planning and communication with your supply partners
- The ability to take action - even in the face of uncertainty around legislative requirements - and the flexibility to adjust your approach as required
As a trusted supply chain partner to thousands of customers and hundreds of suppliers around the world, Arrow has built a business in helping our partners manage the complexity related to a host of industry challenges.
Our ability to assist you in developing an efficient, responsible and global solution for your environmental compliance needs is a natural extension of Arrow's existing services and one that we fully embrace.
And, because each customer has a different set of needs, Arrow has developed tailored approaches that allow selection of the solution appropriate to your needs.
