Résumé

The prevailing storyline about the problem of electronic waste frames e-waste as generated by consumers in developed countries and dumped on people and places in developing countries. In Reassembling Rubbish, Josh Lepawsky offers a different view. In an innovative analysis of the global trade and traffic in discarded electronics, Lepawsky reframes the question of the "right" thing to do with e-waste, mapping the complex flows of electronic materials.
He counters the assumption that a-waste is a postconsumer problem, pointing out that waste occurs at all stages of electronic materials' existence, and calls attention to the underresearched world of reuse and repair.
