When wiring is incinerated rather than recycled at end of life, it releases all sorts of ugly substances into the atmosphere. I seem to recall reading this as part of either a German or Swedish (Danish?) proposal. I am sorry, it has been too long since I worked this issue and I cannot at this moment recall the organization's name... Blue Angel (Blau something? German) Swedish...no solid memory of the name, but it was a website for the organization. kyle (unemployed but hopeful to change this) ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Heald" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 23, 2002 4:01 PM Subject: Halogen free cables for the EU > > Does anyone know where the halogen restrictions for wire insulation in the > EU come from?
