REACH’in bir kaç amacı vardır: Çevre ve insan sağlığını, kimyasal kullanımından yüksek düzeyde korumayı sağlamak. Kimyasalları piyasaya süren insanları (üretici ve ithalatçı / ihracatçı) kullanım amaçlarına ilişkin risklerin anlaşılması ve yönetiminden sorumlu tutmak. Maddelerin AB pazarında serbest hareketini sağlamak. AB kimya sanayiinde rekabetin ve yenilikçiliğin arttırılması. Maddelerin zararlı özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesi için alternatif yöntemleri özendirmek ör. QSAR ve read across.

RoHS

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, short for Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union.The RoHS directive took effect on 1 July 2006, and is required to be enforced and become law in each member state. This directive restricts (with exceptions) the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.

WEEE

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is the European Community directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) which, together with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, became European Law in February 2003. The WEEE Directive set collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods, with a minimum rate of 4 kilograms per head of population per annum recovered for recycling by 2009. The RoHS Directive set restrictions upon European manufacturers as to the material content of new electronic equipment placed on the market.

ISO 14001

The ISO 14000 family addresses various aspects of environmental management. It provides practical tools for companies and organizations looking to identify and control their environmental impact and constantly improve their environmental performance. ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 14004:2004 focus on environmental management systems. The other standards in the family focus on specific environmental aspects such as life cycle analysis, communication and auditing.

Recycling and Waste

DPI makes recycling and disposes environmental wastes according to  Çevko policies.

Plastic Packaging Plastics are obtained from petrol or petroleum derivates. There are different kinds of plastic packaging. The main plastic packages are PET (Polietilentetraftalat), PVC (Polivilklorür), PP (Polipropilen), PS (Polistren) and PE (Polietilen). These names are coming from the different chemical structures of the packages.

Paper / Cardboard Packaging The most widely used type of packaging materials are paper and cardboard. Paper and cardboard waste, constitute more than half of the material that can be recycled The row material of paper is cellulose. It is a very valuable material and the source of this material is coming from our forests and specially raised plants. For this reason the most valuable waste is probably paper and cardboard.
