Where do our electronics go at the end of their life? Every year, - TopicsExpress



          

Where do our electronics go at the end of their life? Every year, almost 50 million tonnes of e-waste (electronic waste) are generated worldwide. A large volume of second-hand and condemned electronic goods arrive in developing countries from the “developed” world, with a significant volume arriving as e-waste, exported illegally as “second hand goods”. This film presents a visual portrait of unregulated e-waste recycling in Ghana, West Africa, where electronics are not seen for what they once were, but rather for what they have become. Before putting your damaged stuff in the dump, why not repair it? Love your barang? Fix your barang!
