Un peligro ambiental grave, pero a menudo pasado por alto, son los desechos electrónicos. Estos se han considerado durante mucho tiempo un problema "exportable" y las naciones más ricas han enviado sus productos electrónicos al final de su vida útil a las partes más pobres del mundo durante décadas, ignorando los desastres ambientales creados y las innumerables vidas afectadas en vertederos masivos y sitios de procesamiento informal en Asia, África y América del Sur. Las economías emergentes como China, India y Brasil han representado durante mucho tiempo el destino final de los desechos electrónicos del mundo. Sin embargo, las cosas están comenzando a cambiar a medida que los peligros a corto y largo plazo de la eliminación inadecuada de desechos electrónicos comienzan a ser más evidentes. Este estudio se centra en los tres países mencionados y sus estrategias para combatir el problema de los desechos electrónicos. El propósito de este estudio es identificar las tendencias y los desafíos que enfrentan las economías emergentes cuando se enfrentan al creciente problema global de los desechos electrónicos, así como evaluar su respuesta tanto a nivel nacional como local.
