A serious, yet often overlooked environmental danger, E-waste has long been considered an “exportable” problem and wealthier nations have shipped their end of life electronics to poorer parts of the world for decades, ignoring the environmental disasters created and countless lives affected in massive dump sites and informal processing sites in Asia, Africa and South America. Emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil have long represented the final destination for the world’s E-waste. Things are however beginning to change as the short term and long term dangers of improperly disposed of electronic waste are starting to become more apparent. This study focuses on the three aforementioned countries and their strategies for combating the E-waste problem. The purpose of this study is to identify the trends and challenges emerging economies face when dealing with the growing global problem of Electronic waste as well as to assess their response both at a national and local level
