加纳电子垃圾回收：污染与机遇并存的新兴产业
In the sprawling district of Agbogbloshie, once known as one of the world’s most toxic e-waste dumps, a quiet economic revolution is taking shape. Local entrepreneurs are transforming discarded computers, phones, and cables into valuable raw materials—copper, aluminum, and even gold. What was long seen as an environmental disaster is now becoming a source of livelihood for thousands.
These recyclers have developed surprisingly efficient methods. Workers carefully dismantle devices by hand, separating components that can be sold to smelters or refurbished for reuse. Plastic casings are ground into pellets for low-cost manufacturing, while circuit boards are exported to specialized refineries abroad. A single ton of processed boards can yield more gold than ten tons of gold ore.
