The Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) has prevented many thousands of tonnes of banned substances from being disposed of and potentially released into the environment since it came into force in 2003.
Direktiiv teatavate ohtlike ainete kasutamise piiramise kohta elektri- ja elektroonikaseadmetes on alates jõustamisest 2003. aastal ära hoidnud tuhandete tonnide keelatud ainete sattumise prügilatesse ja võimaliku lekkimise keskkonda.
