e-Waste workers burning copper wires (YIKES !!!)


This is the riskiest task and the one that Greenpeace reported on in 2008. After dismantling a computer for recoverable parts, the bundles of copper wires are burned to strip off plastic covering. No one buys copper wires with the sheathing attached so they must get the plastic off. We also sampled these workers.
