Well Hans, you have a little digging to do. The net is here and a quick search will show you where electronic waste goes and it is a staggering amount. Germany may be an exception as they have technologies and systems in place that other countries do little of, but which we need much more of. Each country needs to take care of its own waste and not export their excrement.
