Poisoning the poor – Electronic Waste in Ghana

african waste disposal

The snippet here is taken from a Greenpeace article back in 2008, the worrying thing about this is that the state of tipping and recycling in Ghana is still in an appalling state and so is much of Africa.

“During our investigation into the shady e-waste trade, we uncovered evidence that e-waste is being exported, often illegally, to Ghana from Europe and the US. We visited Ghana to investigate workplace contamination from e-waste recycling and disposal in the country.”

At Secure Data Recycling we want you to realise that if your waste is passed to recycling companies that are NOT approved, then your e-waste could be contributing to this problem.
