I'll be leaving in a week to visit Cairo, where a former medical student has opened 4 computer refurbishing warehouses to sell to other med students... kind of a Michael Dell Al-Atari (M.Dell started his business by refurbing PCs in his Texas dorm room). Today's article in the NYTimes covers the side of electronics exports WR3A is trying to enable. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/magazine/13anthropology-t.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5070&en=468ec20a747afe1d&ex=1208836800 Can the Cellphone Help End Global Poverty? WR3A is holding its second annual conference in Chicago with Recycling Today magazine June 22-24. There are 3 tracks, Electronics, Plastic and Paper. Our focus is Fair Trade - ensuring USA companies properly remove and recycle obsolete scrap, and helping them find legitimate overseas buyers for the remainder. http://www.recyclingtodayevents.com/ |
