Abstract :
The inclusion of environmental aspects and parameters in a data sheet for electronic products enables the customer and finally the recycler to act on life cycle aspects and impacts. The data set frames to be developed will ask for answers to basic environmental issues and will address in different levels the varying needs of customers. The advantage for a customer will be knowledge about the environmental characteristics of the purchased products. It would be difficult for him to obtain this information from the suppliers of the numerous modules from all over the world
