The global e-waste challenge (with Ify Otuya & Chloé Mikolajczak)

What is electronic waste? Why does 80% end up in landfills or go unaccounted for? And what can we do to prevent electronics - broken down smartphones, computers and tractors - turning into unsalvageable trash across the planet. Actually there’s a lot we can do! Yeeyy!! We’re back with a third season of Love Zero Waste! Guests in this episode are e-waste experts Ify Otuya, June E-waste Academy and Chloé Mikolajczak, Right to Repair. Listen to Ify and Chloé share their insights on the e-waste problem, its consequences for civil society and nature, and how business, politics and you and I can be part of creating new solutions.
