Sustento WEEE Management Solutions (WMS) provides environmental compliance products and services to the electronics industry.

Environmental Compliance Software Tool

elife-track is an integrated environmental compliance cost management tool that identifies opportunities for cost reduction over the entire lifecycle of electronic products .

By making product compliance cost data available to designers, it assists them in making the right product design decisions, and by tracking product for recycling, reuse, etc by brand, individual producer responsibility is encouraged.  

Recent directives, such as Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), waste battery, Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Energy-using Products (EuP) require mandatory compliance.

Achieving compliance necessitates comprehending data related to the design, material content and lifecycle costs of products.  This data is often not easily gathered in a manner that allows the company to make appropriate design decisions, maintain compliance with existing and emerging regulations, and validate product end-of-life disposition.
