The Good Point Recycling blog (retroworks.blogspot.com), authored by Robin Ingenthron, features a wide range of influential posts focused on ethical electronics recycling and e-waste management. Some of the most popular and influential topics include:
Critique of the UNU E-Waste Research Program: One of the more impactful posts challenges the statistics and methodologies used by certain global institutions in the e-waste industry, particularly around how e-waste exports to developing countries are portrayed.
Solar Panel Recycling Initiatives: This blog highlights solar panel reuse projects, discussing the complexities of repurposing panels in developing nations and comparing it to historical issues around CRT (cathode ray tube) recycling.
Fair Trade Recycling Advocacy: Many posts advocate for "fair trade recycling," arguing that developing countries benefit from access to secondhand electronics, which should be seen as an opportunity for technology transfer rather than a dumping issue.
These posts draw attention due to their deep, often critical analysis of global e-waste practices and the underlying motivations of international organizations involved in e-waste regulation.

I have mixed feelings about posting this. I do try to post at least one or two blogs per month, but it takes a lot of time - or used to, or should? - to edit.
But the AI generated review of this blog didn't take someone with my experience to write, and I kind of wonder if, in the future, everyone will just be generating keystrokes.
