Protecting environment, managing e-waste and ensuring development: perspective on ‘waste electrical and electronic equipment’ situation in Guiyu, Agbogbloshie and Dhaka
Fast development of the electronics industry and an eminent value of obsolescence of
the electronic productions conduce to the uninterrupted production of great amounts of electronic
waste or e-wasteworldwide. Due to the frequent commingling of a wide range of reusable, or
recyclable, and non-recyclable surplus electronics, the term "e-waste" infer all sorts of these
leftovers. Even though the economic benefits are potentially enormous, only a small proportion of
the electronic waste is being recycled all around. There is a transaction cost associated with the
recycling process due to the environmental protection regulations, hence economically less
attractiveat the industry level in developed nations. However, to the least developed nations where
owing to low living standard the demand for the better quality environment is low, even nonexistent,
recycling e-waste has become a livelihood earning opportunity. The study intends to
interpret the socio-economic consequences of e-wastes by focusing the detrimental effects that it
have created in China and Ghana, and attempts to outline what developing nations like Bangladesh
can do to prevent or reduce the harmful consequences of it.
