Participants at the first-ever e-Waste Academy for policymakers and small businesses, organised in Accra, Ghana by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and StEP – a partnership of several UN organisations, industry, government, NGOs and the science sector – have heard how electronic waste now contains precious metal "deposits" 40 to 50 times richer than ores.
