There must be some reasons for the U.S. to not sign the Basel Convention.
I think the business of hazardous waste export to LDCs is still going on.

Dear Joseph Tham,
Currently, the problem of growing garbage with unsorted waste is ignored in many countries, but because in the future the negative aspects of the problem of environmental pollution, including plastic, will grow, so in the future other countries will also try to solve this problem.
Similarly with other aspects of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, some large global economies are currently ignoring growing problems. But such an approach must be quickly changed, because there is little time to implement pro-ecological reforms, primarily in terms of reducing environmental pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The global warming process is progressing faster, the scale of the negative effects of climatic disasters and weather anomalies, which are a consequence of the ever-faster global warming process, is increasing. There is little time left, according to climatologists only max. over a dozen years to implement the necessary ecological reforms and innovations, including in the area of energy development based on renewable energy sources, to stop or even significantly slow down the ever-faster global warming process.
These processes of implementation of ecological innovations and implementation of pro-ecological reforms should be conducted in all countries, and to the largest extent in developed and developing countries, industrialized countries, including the largest economies in the world, which are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases and producers of garbage and non-degradable waste , toxic or hardly degradable.
Best wishes
Hazardous wastes belong to the category of special wastes having constituents of chemicals, metals and other compounds which can cause environmental pollution. In order to regulate and ensure environmentally sound management of the hazardous wastes, the Govt. of India notified the Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Government of India has ratified the Basel Convention on the control of transboundary movement of hazardous wastes and their disposal (under the aegis of UNEP). Provisions and certain decisions of the Basel Convention will have to be harmonised within the domestic legislation according to the India’s commitment to the Convention.
J. M. Koli Dear Mr. Koli, could you kindly explain some disadvantages of the Basel Convention?
