Regulations Governing Mercury Management and Disposal Available for Public
Comment
Medical device companies who use mercury in their manufacturing processes are invited to weigh in on proposed regulations from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding implementation of the “Massachusetts Mercury Management Act.” The Act was signed into law on July 28, 2006 and is designed to keep mercury out of trash and wastewater, where it is released into the environment. The law requires manufacturers of products containing mercury to collect “end of life” products to recycle the mercury and phase out the sale of certain products containing mercury. Please click
here to view the draft regulations and learn more about providing
commentary at upcoming Mass. DEP public hearings.
