E-waste is on the rise in Canada, here’s why you should care
Josh Leposki, a geography professor who studies e-waste flows and policy, and Kamal Habib, an expert on consumer behaviour and repairability, discuss rising electronic waste in Canada. They explore why working devices get tossed, repair barriers and right-to-repair laws, software-driven obsolescence, where collected e-waste ends up, and policy levers to curb production and pollution.
