Jim Puckett, Founder/Chief of Strategic Direction, Basel Action Network (BAN)
Jim Puckett has been a global hazardous waste and environmental justice activist for 39 years. His work, first with Greenpeace and then with BAN, to prevent the export and dumping of hazardous wastes from developed to developing countries was pioneering and led to the adoption of the Basel Ban Amendment. Jim was the first to call out the toxic waste dumping from North to South as “toxic colonialism” and has, over his career, attended every meeting of the Basel Convention, where he has advocated for preventing pollution, safeguarding human health and fragile ecosystems from toxic wastes, while promoting safe recycling and reuse of used products to conserve the Earth’s limited resources.
BAN’s research first exposed the global e-waste dumping crisis in China in 2002 with the groundbreaking documentary Exporting Harm. Recent achievements at Basel aided by BAN’s work include the plastics amendments of 2019 and the 2021 e-waste amendments. In the U.S., in 2008, BAN created the e-Stewards certification to steer responsible customers to the most ethical recyclers.
