Burning E-Waste Poisons
Our Planet and Our Future

The growing crisis of electronic waste (e-waste) is often hidden in plain sight—burnt in open air, dumped into landfills, or handled without safety measures. In many communities, especially in the informal sector, burning e-waste has become a common method for metal recovery. But this comes at a high cost. Toxic fumes pollute our air, hazardous chemicals seep into our soil and water, and carbon emissions continue to rise—all threatening human health and the environment.
