Waste Colonialism in the Global South

In this episode, Semia Gharbi (Chairperson of Tunisia’s Association of Environmental Education for Future Generations and coordinator of IPEN in the MENA region) and Mageswari Sangaralingam (Senior research officer with the Consumers’ Association of Penang and Sahabat Alam Malaysia Friends of the Earth) talk to Sureshnie Rieder about waste colonialism in the global south.

We also share advice for organisations that want to start a campaign that addresses imported waste in their country, and steps that African countries can take to stop the dumping of waste in our borders.
