Dell\u2019s electronics disposition policy now exceeds requirements of the Basel Convention, which bans the export of certain electronic waste based on its material or chemical composition. By expanding its definition of electronic waste to include all non-working parts or devices, irrespective of material composition, Dell aims to help prevent the unauthorized dumping of electronic waste in developing countries by requiring that equipment be tested and certified as \u201cworking\u201d prior to export. These additions to the company\u2019s disposition policy reflect Dell\u2019s long-standing commitment to responsibly manage sensitive electronic waste through final disposition.
