On the threshould of a new millennium the impact of electronics on the quality of life of mankind has never been greater. Advances in electronics have revolutionized the way in which we live and do business.

Manufacturers of electronic equipment are increasingly being made aware of their environmental impacts by legislation, customers and competitors.
