Dutch commodities giant Trafigura has been accused by Amnesty International of creating "one of the worst environmental disasters of the 21st century", after dumping toxic waste in Africa, although the company has told Sputnik it has "learnt its lessons"... Trafigura told Sputnik: "...Trafigura's involvement in this incident has been the subject of much comment (not all of it accurate), numerous Court decisions and final settlements... 

"Trafigura has expressed, and reiterates, its deep regret of the impact the incident had, both real and perceived. We have learnt from our experiences. Meanwhile the company has maintained its long-established commitment to Africa, creating jobs, paying taxes, building infrastructure, providing fuel and helping Africa to grow."
