House Bill Aims to Curb E-Waste Exports

A bipartisan bill introduced in the House this week could lead to new export restrictions on electronic waste. The bill, introduced by Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., aims to ensure the waste doesn’t become “the source of counterfeit goods that may reenter military and civilian electronics supply chains” in the U.S. The full text of the bill wasn’t yet available. Congress has considered similar export restrictions on e-waste in recent years (see 1909190041 and 2202030062).
