List of quotes attributed to Prof. Eric Williams:

Independent research by Arizona State University showed that 87–88% of imported used computers did not have a higher value than the best value of the constituent materials they contained, and that "the official trade in end-of-life computers is thus driven by reuse as opposed to recycling"."

“In March, 2010, in the journal titled Environmental Science and Technology , author Eric Williams, Assistant Professor in Arizona State University, wrote, “Trade bans will become increasingly irrelevant in solving the problem (of e-waste)”. He argues that a complete ban on export of used and end-of-life electronics to developing countries would fail to solve the problem because the developing world would generate more used and end-of-life electronics than the developed countries as early as 2017. Additionally, by 2025, the developing world would generate twice the amount of electronic scrap as what will come from the developed nations."
