Avoiding Potholes on the Endless Winding Road of Environmental Compliance – In the Dark

The landscape of global environmental regulations – WEEE, RoHS, Batteries, EuP, REACH to name just a few – have forever complicated the processes of product design and manufacture. New regulations are devised and enacted well inside product development and production cycles, often by well-intentioned but ill-informed government legislators.

This presentation will share how Extreme Networks progressed from reactive to proactive response to new regulations, and how we reaped unexpected additional positive rewards from the change.
