Illegal E-Waste Plant in China

An illegal printed circuit board (PCB) electronic waste (e-waste) processing plant is documented prior to the week-long conference entitled the '9th Conference of Parties to the Basel Convention on the Transport of Hazardous Waste', which is being hosted by the Indonesian Government. The meeting will include discussions on the creation of a global body to oversee the increasing problem of how to transport and safely dispose of growing amounts of electronic waste.
