Toxic Tech: Not in Our Backyard
A Greenpeace report about the amount of global waste from electrical and electronic products.
Auteur: Greenpeace International
Omschrijving: The UN estimates that some 20 to 50m tonnes of e-waste are
generated worldwide each year, comprising more than 5% of all municipal solid waste. The fate of large quantities of this so-called e-waste is unknown. This “hidden flow” is the e-waste that escapes responsible collection, reuse and recycling systems and as such is unaccounted for.
