Addressing Systemic Issues in Electronics Production: A Path to Ethical and Sustainable Tech

The article foregrounds systemic extraction and waste in electronics but largely omits Indigenous stewardship, historical depth, and cultural nuance, limiting its transformative potential.

By integrating scientific data with future‑oriented circular models, and by amplifying marginalized labor voices through transparent sourcing and robust producer responsibility, a more holistic governance architecture emerges. Such an architecture can be enriched with cross‑cultural learning and, where appropriate, trickster‑style disruptions that expose hidden contradictions, ultimately reshaping the tech ecosystem toward ethical and sustainable practice.
