But it is not just about compliance, there are more sustainable approaches and many opportunities to embed environmental care into your product and its lifecycle processes.

Siemens PLM Software helps companies like yours meet high tech environmental compliance mandates and support green business practices by delivering an end to end solution to product environmental management giving you to power to design and manufacture with environmental care in mind.

Complete Lifecycle Solution for Meeting Today’s and Tomorrow’s Environmental Sustainability Requirements

• Green by Design – Give your engineering teams the ability to ensure that their designs meet environmental compliance, sustainability and end-of-life requirements such as RoHS, REACH and WEEE by exposing GREEN requirements, compliance status of parts and suppliers early in the product lifecycle.
• Customer and Market Requirements Management – Ensures that customer, legal and market environmental requirements are captured, tracked, and traced from the very earliest stages of the lifecycle.
• Part & Supplier Management – Allows you to manage all information related to a part including: materials and substances, attributes, and compliance status. Manage the relationships between supplier parts and company parts. Manage Approved Manufacturer and Supplier lists for “GREEN” compliance with an automated process for collecting RFx responses for compliance status.
• Bill of Materials (BOM) Compliance Management – Gives you the “On-Demand” ability to interrogate the BOM for environmental compliance or customer compliance at any stage of the product lifecycle and at any level in the Bill of Materials. Product BOM Grading reports and save compliant BOM.
• Green Dashboard & Compliance Reporting – A “Green” dashboard provides a graphical view of product environmental compliance at the material, substance, part assembly and rolled up BOM levels. Support for RoHS, WEEE, REACH reporting. Robust capabilities leveraging today's most popular data exchange protocols, such as IPC-1752/1 intelligent PDF and RosettaNet XML, for compliance reporting.
• Sustainable Manufacturing - Ensures that production processes comply with all applicable regulatory mandates, including support for compliant part management, component tracking and verification, change management, process verification and monitoring, quality and reliability assurance, and compliance traceability and declaration.
• End of Life Management – Gives manufacturers the ability to manage the end of life of high tech products either thru recycling or lifecycle extension. Including disassembly sequencing, instructions for special handling and disposal, failure mode and effects analysis.
