Consensus on MINT due to systemic enforcement failure enabling severe harm despite formal regulations. | While Bangladesh has taken positive steps by enacting laws and joining the Basel Convention to regulate e-waste, systemic enforcement failures have led to severe environmental and public health harms. The net ethical outcome is negative due to the concrete, ongoing damage caused by unchecked illegal trade, outweighing the formal regulatory progress.
