Thinkstep Compliance is proud to announce that the www.BOMcheck.net substance declarations web database and the www.EC4P.com recycling compliance management system have both won Environmental Leader 2016 Top Product of the Year Awards. BOMcheck Director Aidan Turnbull and EC4P Product Manager James Pearson accepted the awards at the Environmental Leader Conference in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday 22 June.Established in 2012, the Environmental Leader Awards recognize excellence in products and services that provide companies with environmental benefits. BOMcheck is the only product to win the award three times and this is the second year in a row that EC4P has won the award. In 2014 EC4P also won the Elektra European Electronics Industry Environmental Award.
The EC4P management system is a confidential web application which guarantees manufacturer compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, batteries regulations and packaging regulations in all 28 EU Member States as well as European Free Trade Association countries. The Environmental Leader judges said "The solution simplifies the regulatory complexity. Excellent design, proof beyond concept, and client testimonials. Any product that can demonstrably prove that time can be saved and efficiencies gained for data collation and reporting -۠especially across multiple sectors and geographies -۠has my vote." Kerrill Grealy, HSE Director at Meggitt Sensing Systems said "EC4P's WEEE, Batteries and Packaging management tools are an indispensable service in meeting product compliance requirements and the burden of compliance in terms of cost & time are significantly reduced in what is a constantly-changing situation across participating Member States". David Sangster, VP Operations, Nutanix Inc added "I have been a customer of EC4P for 8 years at two different companies. There are several reasons I have stayed with them:
-€¢ EC4P offers an innovative, cost effective pan-European, web based compliance system for WEEE, Batteries and Packaging. In my experience, this is a unique differentiator that allows Nutanix to meet our compliance requirements without the need, expense and complexity of hiring compliance personnel in all 28 EU Member States.
-€¢ We've been able to reduce our costs by passing the WEEE collection costs on to business end-users using EC4P's suggested 'cost sharing' approach.
-€¢ EC4P has a well-established, auditable, programmatic path to compliance that allows us to quickly start selling into EU member states in a matter of a few weeks as our business expands. The process is very lightweight and flexible.
I highly recommend EC4P - they have been a great partner."
BOMcheck is a centralized web database which helps manufacturers manage their supply chains' compliance to RoHS, REACH and other substance regulations around the world. The Environmental Leader judges said "BOMcheck is a great tool that should be utilized by every manufacturer. The ease of use will only enhance the ability of any business to track and report on any potential hazardous material that may be contained in their product. Armed with this information, companies can work toward reducing their usage of such materials." A GE Healthcare newsletter to suppliers said "BOMcheck has the simplest input interface we have seen and provides extensive help and data checking to reduce errors and highlight potential issues while you are working on your part declarations." Sharp Electronics Europe added "BOMcheck helps us to update our declarations to respond to the ever-increasing list of REACH Candidate List substances in a very effective way."
