> Throwing the blame back on the poor countries getting exploited by corporate interest of rich western countries doing greenwashing That's not what the person you're replying to said at all: > we need to ensure that electronic waste doesn't end up being dumped on random impoverished towns in Africa The point is that recycling isn't the problem, it's the companies who direct the waste. Nobody is blaming the third world countries for these problems. Holding these examples of terrible conditions up as evidence that recycling doesn't work just gives recycling a bad reputation rather than showing the irresponsibility of the companies that put the waste there in the first place. Neither the producers nor the recipients of the waste decided for it to be this way, it's the people in the middle.
