For the past three decades, poor African nations have been used as the dumping sites for hazardous toxic waste materials from developed countries. Primarily the international community are out to reduce the costs of disposing or recycling the by-products of their industries. E-waste is routinely exported by developed countries to developing ones often in violation of the international law. To help us interrogate this we are joined on the line by:
• Rico Euripidou: An Environmental health campaigner at Groundwork
• Howard Bulkin : Managing Director: The Waste Trade Company
• Desmond d’ Sa: Spokesperson for the South Durban Environmental Alliance
• Mark Gordon; The Deputy Director General : Chemicals and Waste Management
