Abstract:
In 2002, the European Union enacted ambitious legislation on the design and
endoflife treatment of electronic products. This paper explores the external
effects of these laws on the California. The EU Directives on the Restriction
of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) influenced the introduction
of similar regulation in other jurisdictions. This paper identifies the
connections between EU and Californian e-waste legislation. It analyses the
roles of interdependence and transatlantic learning and it outlines the
systemic variables that shaped the diffusion of EU e-waste policy to
California.
