Trade in electronic waste (e-waste) leads to environmental injustice by shifting environmental burdens from developed to developing countries.[6] Industrialized countries often circumvent strict domestic regulations by exporting waste under the guise of recycling or repair.[1] Major international regulations such as the Basel Convention, along with regional agreements such as Bamako and Waigani, cannot effectively stop the illegal trade due to loopholes such as "remedial exemptions".[1] These loopholes allow the transfer of toxic waste to economically weaker states such as India.[1] Illegal exports cause soil, air and water pollution with toxic substances, including lead and mercury, which endangers the health, especially of children in low-income countries.[3][4] According to the UN, up to 90% of the world's e-waste is illegally dumped.[1] Stronger enforcement measures, international cooperation and stricter compliance mechanisms are needed.[1][2]
