Altia provides clients with detailed knowledge relating the the following legislation:
 
Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive  
In the UK companies with a turnover of over £2M and who generate/use over 50 Tonnes of packaging per annum must either register individually or join a compliance scheme.
 
REACH  
The New Chemicals Policy - REACH

Based on concerns that existing chemicals legislation was not capable of responding adequately to public concern in Europe, the European Commission published its proposals for “Regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restrictions of CHemicals - REACH” (CEC, 2003a) on 29th Oct 2003

The draft legislation is planned to replace over 40 (out of about 60) existing directives and regulations, and will implement the proposals set out in the Commission's February 2001 White Paper on chemicals.
 
WEEE and RoHS  
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment & Restrictions on Hazardous Substances Directives.
