From Weapons Systems to Outer-Space, e-waste is a Threat to National Security

Addressing the top national security challenges presented by China and Russia often boils down to protecting key networks and ensuring supply chains for critical defense capabilities.

Limiting the loss of sensitive information, maintaining access to reliable electronic parts and critical minerals and protecting our network of satellites is fundamental to our most pressing national security missions. They are also all connected to a common challenge: tackling various forms of waste. Raising public awareness of these issues and employing a range of public-private partnerships can go a long way to bolstering our country’s position in the great power competition.
