Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment has reaffirmed its commitment to prohibiting the import of electronic waste, citing concerns for environmental protection, natural resource preservation, and public health. The ongoing ban aims to prevent long-term pollution stemming from discarded electronics like computers, phones, and appliances. Authorities recognize e-waste as a significant source of hazardous materials that can contaminate land and water. This policy reflects a broader effort to manage waste responsibly and mitigate the risks associated with improper disposal of electronic devices. The ministry continues to prioritize sustainable practices and environmental safeguards within the country. No details were provided regarding domestic e-waste recycling initiatives or enforcement measures.
