Sri Lanka’s e-waste program



As told in previous blogs, developing nations have to protect themselves against the increasing dumping of waste. Sri Lanka has searched for a solution of its e-waste problem: they want to force the importers of goods as electronics and refrigerators to sign a treatment. The main reason to lay the foundation of this program is the ignorance and the health care of the people who are exposed to the unsafe materials used in electronic goods. Collecting centres for discarded electronic goods will be founded and Sri Lanka will export its stocks to recycling countries. The people may also earn a living by providing their e-waste to collectors.

  1. Dear all

    This blog is really going fine.

    Make it even more interactive by commenting on each others' contributions. Also, stay focused on the end products that you’ll have to come up with. Continue looking for specific case studies, interesting facts and figures that will Spice up your presentation and paper.

    All the best,
