New England Wire Technologies - GreenLine Program

RoHS Initiative 

New England Wire Technologies is dedicated to offering technical solutions and superior materials that minimize environmental impact and maximize the performance benefits of our custom designed specialty wire and cable.

The European Union Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) restricts the content of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.  The European Commission has determined the maximum concentration levels of these substances that will be allowed in each homogenous material.  The maximum concentrations are 0.1% for Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB, or PBDE and 0.01% for Cadmium.

Our Approach

• We continually work directly with large and small raw materials suppliers to develop new green materials that fulfill our customers new wire and cable applications:
  • Flexible flame retardant and UL-compliant insulation and jacketing compounds,
  • A wide variety of colorants for PVC, PE, PP, TPE, TPU, Polyester, ETFE, and Silicone Rubber, and
  • Various sizes and constructions of copper and high strength, high conductivity alloys with many plating options.

We are designing and manufacturing many new RoHS compliant products each day and look forward to working with you on either new designs, or modifications to older ones, that you wish to have RoHS compliant. We will certify that to the best of our knowledge New England Wire Technologies Corporation and its suppliers have supplied only materials that are compliant to the above RoHS regulations.  (Please note that neither New England Wire Technologies Corporation nor its suppliers routinely analyze products for materials or substances not purposely added.)
