E-waste protest at Wipro doorstep [India]

Greenpeace activists today launched a campaign against the stockpile of e-waste...at the corporate headquarters of Wipro...“We consider the only way to deal with the growing problem of e-wastes is for the corporates to design clean electronics with longer lifespan that are safe and easy to recycle without exposing workers and the environment to hazardous chemicals,” Greenpeace India’s Ramapati Kumar said...A spokesman for Wipro, however, denied that the company’s products...were sent to recycling yards for disposal. “...Once [clients] buy, we have no control over what they do with the end-products,” the spokesman said.
