| Sumario: | Dossier Pandemic and Human Rights. "Rising levels of electronic waste, low collection rates, and inappropriate disposal and treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE) pose significant risks to the environment and human health. While the number of countries that have adopted national e-waste policy, legislation or regulation has increased, progress in some regions is slow, enforcement is poor, and policies or regulations are almost non-existent or ineffective. At the regional level, Argentina is among the three Latin American countries with the highest generation of WEEE, only behind Brazil and Mexico. Added to this, there is no adequate management system for this type of waste in the territory and for several years regulations on the matter have been discussed without any significant result. Collection or proper management is not encouraged, the Extended Producer Responsibility is not properly regulated and there is a lack of investment in the treatment of products that shows an absent political motivation in the matter. Too often WEEE ends up in landfills, open dumps, or incinerated and the reality is that the electronics industry is growing while recycling systems are lagging behind. The objective of this work is to analyze the current WEEE regime in Argentina, both in terms of national and international standards." |
