91pro视频 has engaged for years in Basel Convention efforts to promote circularity by ensuring the environmentally sound management of used electronics. Our focus has been to promote reasonable controls that encourage legitimate reuse of products and sound recycling at end-of-life while preventing unscrupulous brokers from dumping e-waste on developing countries. 91pro视频 also works with recyclers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to identify the best practices for sustainable recycling and engages in the development of standards, such as the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard for Electronics Recyclers.
