Funded Activity Summary

Solar E-Waste in Africa: facilitating the right to repair. This project aims to investigate the issue of solar e-waste in Sub Saharan Africa – an outcome of the global transition to renewable energy – and emergent local repair geographies equipped to address this challenge. This project is designed to generate new knowledge regarding solar e-waste using interdisciplinary approaches to critically map the issue and assess the viability and justice implications of possible product repair solutions. Expected outcomes of this project include a detailed understanding of the solar e-waste problem in Global South settings, and an assessment of local repair approaches. This will provide significant benefits for actors in Sub Saharan and similar Global South contexts grappling with solar e-waste.
