- Title
Peering through loopholes, tracing conversions: remapping the transborder trade in electronic waste.
- Authors
Kirby, Peter Wynn; Lora‐Wainwright, Anna
- Abstract
The authors discuss the transborder trade in electronic waste (e-waste). They mention the aspects which distort the scholarly approaches to the conversion of e-waste, such as the regulatory architecture of the 1989 Basel Convention and the change in the terms of debate on e-waste trade. They emphasize the geographical imaginaries that influence conception of the e-waste problem. They also stress that the plan for mobilising transborder trading of waste creates a market for e-waste conversion.
