THE CHALLENGE A leading manufacturer of data cables in Zhuhai, China, ran into a serious challenge. In addition to all of these challenges, the local masterbatch supplier couldn’t provide the proper documents to certify the materials met Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) requirements. With RoHS and REACH documentation on all masterbatch orders, international customers were an option once again.
