[PDF] What a waste: How your computer causes health problems in Ghana

“We are calling on the companies and governments in the developed countries in the light of the Basel Convention to stop dumping of electronic gadgets,” says John Pwamang head of the Toxics Department at Ghana’s Environmental Protection Agency. In his opinion the extended producer responsibility should be expanded to Ghana’s part of the world. He points out that Philips, Nokia and other companies should have an arrangement regarding end-of-life computers in Ghana, so these companies should pay for the proper management of the computers they have produced.
