Seattle / Kuala Lumpur / Bangkok / Jakarta. April 7, 2026. The Basel Action Network (BAN) today commends the governments of Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia for taking strong actions against illegal imports of hazardous electronic waste, primarily from waste brokers in the United States (US) that pose as recyclers but instead, ship containers of e-waste across the ocean to Southeast Asia.
