Stop the developed countries from dumping E-waste in other countries!!


As consumption of computers, cell phones, and TVs escalates across the globe, countries need to establish proper recycling programs to deal with all the electronic waste. With India being the major outsourcing hub for the world over there is a growing increase interms of computer waste in India and also in other developing countries.

Most companies want to dispose of their e-waste responsibly so they seek out an electronics recycler, or an asset recovery company. It is recommended that countries should establish e-waste management centers of excellence, building on existing organizations working in the area of recycling and waste management.Recyclers should not cheat by dumping the e-waste in developing countries.

The dumping of electronic waste in developing countries, exposing the ugly underbelly of the computer recycling industry – and what really happens with the used electronics discarded by businesses today.

Something should be done fast or else its going to be a very chaotic situation and one day we all will pay for this.
