The federal Interagency Task Force on Electronic Stewardship issued its report this week on what the Obama Administration will do to address the mounting e-waste problem. The report made many good recommendations, particularly with ideas for promoting greener design. But the report really got it very, very wrong on the biggest problem – the export of toxic e-waste to developing nations...[The] actions they recommend do nothing to stop exporting e-waste to developing countries (even though most of those exports are illegal)...Exports...[end] up in places where they are crudely handled...Studies have found that workers and communities are being poisoned in the process...Instead of being out in front, they stand several giant steps behind the true leaders...including manufacturers (like Dell, HP, Apple, Samsung, LG, ASUS), retailers like Best Buy, recycling customers (like Wells Fargo and Bank of America)...who all have policies that ensure that their e-waste does not end up in developing countries.
