The European Union has issued clear direc-
tives to ensure better management of elec-
trical waste throughout the production chain,
to safeguard an environment increasingly
under threat from problematical waste.
Fanton S.p.A. has always responded to the need for
sustainable development with strategies which aim to
comply with the strict European directives on produc-
tion, disposal and the environment.
The fundamental EU legislation on environmental pol-
icy is the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC - Restriction of
the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical
and Electronic Equipment.
In compliance with the RoHS directive, which restricts
the use of some hazardous substances and pollutants
in electrical and electronic equipment, Fanton S.p.A.
banned the use of substances such as heavy metals
(lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium)
or flame-retardants (brominated biphenyls, etc.) in Ju-
ly 2006, the year when the Directive came into force.
Compliance with this standard results in products
which are safer for their users and the environment,
two important aims towards which much of the work
of our R&D laboratory and production departments is
directed.
Our products are
environment-friendly
