E-Waste Dumping in Thailand

[nikmcg0]

Hi Guys

 

Spotted this shocking story that has made the International news around the World about the illegal dumping of electronic waste near Bangkok which needs specialist recycling. This was being carried out in China previously but a ban on its import has caused this issue. The waste is contaminated and is already poisoning the land and water nearby. Suspect someone somewhere has been given a bung to allow it to be dumped, they should be ashamed.

These pictures are truly terrible, urgent action required:  https://news.sky.com/story/thailand-facing-hazardous-illegal-e-waste-crisis-11422352
