Most companies want to dispose of their e-waste responsibly so they seek out an electronics recycler, or an asset recovery company. Sorry to say, all too often these e-waste recyclers are not recyclers at all. This eye-opening Basel Action Arrangement (BAN) documentary featuring BAN founder Jim Puckett exposes the hideous underbelly of the computer recycling industry and what really happens with the used electronics discarded by businesses and individuals. The trade in toxic wastes leaves the poorer people of the world with an untenable scale between poverty and poison a scale that nobody should have to get on to. The Basel Action Arrangement has qualified e-Steward recyclers that will not export toxic electronic waste to developing countries, including Redemtech, under its e-Stewards Initiative (www.e-stewards.org). Robert Houghton, head and CEO of Redemtech, a BAN e-Stewards Founder and leading IT asset disposition services source, is interviewed.
