Xilinx Pb-free and Green Solutions
 

To Pursue an "Earth-Friendly" Business Environment
Xilinx is committed to delivering solutions that are safer for the environment. Taking a part in global protection activities is in the center of the Xilinx mission. Recycling, reducing waste, and energy conservation programs are already a part of our daily business. Today, we are especially focusing on the removal of hazardous materials including Pb.

 

Industry Trends
Around the world there is more focus on the handling and removal of materials that are hazardous to the environment.

  • In Europe, an EU directive on Restrictions on the use of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) requires the elimination of lead in electronics by July 1, 2006
  • In Japan, electronic waste and recycling laws oblige manufacturers to eliminate or recover their waste products containing lead
  • In the United States, laws banning or restricting the use of lead are already in place for many products and there is an increasing demand for a total ban
