Not all recycling is genuine & the problems created can be huge.

EWaste is a major problem now and we have to be conscious of the fact that many people are using our desire to recycle but in the process are scamming, abusing human rights and polluting in a major way.

This applies, however, to all forms of recycling. Major ships, for example, are torn apart on badly damaged beaches by an army of low-paid workers working with minimal equipment under highly dangerous conditions. The employers abuse comprehensively and make rich pickings from their tacky trade. Most purely serve selfish interest and disregard every tenet of moral responsibility.

The developed nations are exporting their waste problems in an ever-increasing constant stream under the pretence that the trade is enlightened and environmentally friendly.

Much of the trade is a scam.
