International trade in electronic waste: understanding Rouyn-Noranda's place in a global economy
A hot topic: Canada's decision on the Basel Convention
This conference is taking place against a backdrop of heated political and environmental debate. Recently, Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced that Canada would not comply with the new Basel Convention rules, which tighten restrictions on the export of electronic waste. This decision raises questions about the future of the e-waste trade and its repercussions for regions like Rouyn-Noranda, where the recycling and waste management industry plays a key role.
