E-Waste Recycling

Down Stream Due Diligence:Why is it so important to find a

recycler who practices ethical means of downstream?

Many “recyclers” export obsolete electronics to underdeveloped countries (where there are no or very little regulations) directly, or through third-parties

Underdeveloped countries use primitive methods of “recycling” such as cooking circuit boards or using acid baths

Underdeveloped countries do not have health/labor/environmental laws to protect their citizens
