12-05-2009 Dell: Taking Strong Stance Against Exporting E-Waste
12-05-2009
Dell today announced its decision to ban the export of non-working electronics to developing countries as part of its global policy on responsible electronics disposal.
According to Dell;
"its electronics disposition policy now exceeds requirements of the Basel Convention, which bans the export of certain electronic waste based on its material or chemical composition. By expanding its definition of electronic waste to include all non-working parts or devices, irrespective of material composition, Dell aims to help prevent the unauthorized dumping of electronic waste in developing countries by requiring that equipment be tested and certified as “working” prior to export."
