We as a planet need to find better ways to deal with the problem than exposing innocent lives to the toxins that are contained in electronics. With that said people in the US are simply not willing to pay the amount necessary to financially justify the domestic processing of old electronics. We need national legislation to stop rouge companies from simply loading containers and sending them to the highest bidder.

This will create addtional awareness among the manufactures as well the visitors. The problem of E-waste has been scientifically proven but not many of us considering to take this issue in the official platform. Extended Producer Responsibility or Producer Fundamental Responsibility must goes with the CSR in order to convey the message to buyers and general public.

It would be relevant to understand and address the issue of E-Waste by such IT event exhibition.

This will create addtional awareness among the manufactures as well the visitors. The problem of E-waste has been scientifically proven but not many of us considering to take this issue in the official platform.

Extended Producer Responsibility or Producer Fundamental Responsibility must goes with the CSR in order to convey the message to buyers and general public.
