Isn't reuse the ideal situation?
Not to mention e-waste vs plastic trash are rather different topics.
I repeat what I said: First world countries do not deal with trash by sending it to second world countries, despite being oft repeated, this is not actually true.
- tremon 6y agoI haven't claimed anything about right or wrong. I'm just pointing out that the claims "much waste on landfills in Africa comes from first-world countries" and "first-world countries do not dump their trash in Africa" can both be true.
