Electronic Waste (e-waste) is a growing concern worldwide. The first issue is that many electronic devices contain hazardous materials that can leach into the environment as their casings degrade in landfills, where a lot of consumer electronic waste currently ends up.

Moves are afoot to change this in Trinidad and Tobago by several national stakeholders, with the support of bmobile.
