Guest: Wong Pui Yi (Researcher), Basel Action Network
Every year, the world generates tens of millions of tonnes of electronic waste, from old phones and laptops to discarded TVs. Much of this ends up not in the countries that produced it, but in developing nations ill-equipped to deal with its toxic legacy. A new report by the Basel Action Network, “Brokers of Shame,” exposes how American companies continue to ship e-waste to Asia, and how Malaysia has become one of its biggest recipients. Joining us to unpack these findings is Wong Pui Yi, a Malaysian researcher with the Basel Action Network (BAN).
