Paul Hagen Featured in OEM Compliance News on the Basel Convention

Principal Paul Hagen (Washington, DC) is featured in Sims Recycling Solutions' OEM Compliance News Summer 2018 issue. Sims Recycling Solutions provides a featured interview in each issue of an individual within the field of IT asset disposition or recycling in order to provide an opportunity to learn about the different aspects of electronic equipment disposal or recycling from various perspectives.

The feature touches on Paul's involvement with the Basel Convention over many years, and his perspectives on negotiations underway regarding the management of used and end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment. He observes that “much of the current discussion under the Convention is informed by the broader interest among governments and stakeholders in advancing the circular economy” and that the “the outcome of these negotiations will determine future trade flows in many types of recyclable materials for a very long time."
