Euractiv reported in March 2012 on a UNEP study âWhere are WEEE in Africa'. The report suggested that although Europeans are barred from exporting hazardous electronic waste to other countries, yet research showed there is a flourishing export market of such junk to Africa. Efforts were underway to strengthen the EUâs rules â the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Directive (WEEE)â on disposal of old appliances, televisions, mobile telephones and computers. |
