Despite its benefits, implementing RoHS faces several challenges. Manufacturers may encounter difficulties in finding suitable non-toxic substitutes that do not compromise product quality or performance. Compliance with RoHS can also be costly, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, there is the challenge of ensuring global compliance as the directive primarily applies to the EU, yet many electronics are produced and consumed worldwide. Monitoring and enforcement require robust systems to ensure adherence to the directive's standards.
