Interpol launches project to deal with illegal WEEE trade

摘要

Illegal shipments of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are set to fall, following the introduction of a new scheme announced at the end of last month. Interpol and the WEEE Forum, along with five other partners, have launched the Countering WEEE Illegal Trade (CWIT) project in a bid to crack down on illegal e-waste trade and disposal, which they say is an increasing threat to global environmental health and security.
