ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

MEET ROHS, REACH, WEEE, AND CONFLICT MINERALS REQUIREMENTS

With the global push for more sustainable products, many companies in the high tech, consumer electronics, and defense industries must adhere to environmental regulations like RoHS, REACH, WEEE, and conflict minerals. These regulations control the types of parts and raw materials that are sourced and how they are incorporated into the product design.

Arena PLM and QMS provide a single source of truth for internal product teams and external partners to efficiently manage environmental evidence and adopt sustainable product development practices.
