The service will provide participating EIA member companies with a cost-effective resource for monitoring and understanding existing and new environmental and product related measures that have the potential to affect the ability of companies to manufacture, distribute, and sell their products in the global marketplace. EIA is offering this service to members on an annual subscription basis.

Slaughter is interested in introducing some form of federal legislation in the 107th Congress to encourage the recycling of used personal computers. Although EIA staff and the company representatives informed Schaeffer that many electronic recycling initiatives are currently occurring in the absence of federal legislation, Schaeffer indicated that Rep. Slaughter is interested in using federal policy to help advance the increased recycling of used personal computers. She mentioned the use of tax incentives, federal grants, or regulatory changes as possible policy options. EIA plans to follow-up this meeting with a letter, outlining some ideas for federal legislation that would promote the voluntary recycling of used personal computers.
