Abstract

Environmental problems caused by electronic products in connection with mass production and widespread use require growing attention from the public, the legislative and also from the manufacturers. Possibilities of environmental improvements are presented and assessed by means of a screening method based on the Toxic Potential Indicator. In these cases minimised products are more environmentally compatible. But in future the large-scale manufacturing processes for these products have to be taken into consideration
