Bytesforall Bangladesh volunteer talks about eWaste issues in Bangladesh

Bytesforall Bangladesh volunteer talks about eWaste issues in Bangladesh in a popular TV channel in Bangladesh. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a big challenge for Bangladesh, not only because of its sheer volume that remains untreated, but also because of a lack of a policy framework and best practices that could make dismantling, processing and recycling of the waste an asset rather than a public health disaster. Bytesforall Bangladesh worked on this issue for GISWatch back in 2010, and then as part of a larger research study on ICT and environmental sustainability back in 2011. Both the studies identified a systematic gap of policies, including ones on e‑waste management in Bangladesh.
