Title From Risk To Resource? E-Waste Management And The Concept Of Circular Economy
Year 2019
Published Teorija In Praksa, 56, 3
Abstract This paper investigates some ways in which risks concerning electronic waste (e-waste) are done and undone in relation to the concept of circular economy. In doing so, it points to the performative character of risk along with the power relations and subsequent processes of normalisation that underlie these processes of doings and undoings. The findings suggest that e-waste is assumed to pose risk when treated outside the Eli, while it is largely understood as a resource when treated within the EU or Western countries. Here, difference is created as e-waste is subjected to spatial transfers, in this case (global) trade.
