This article establishes a comparative analysis of urban mining in the Sao Paulo Macrometropolis (Brazil) and the Greater Accra Region (Ghana) through exploratory qualitative research. The results reveal a broad spectrum of actor-network arrangements established in the universe of e-waste, also confirming the relevance of political economy for understanding the technical and regulatory aspects of recycling in different geographical contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Palavras-chave:<\/strong> WEEE; Recycling; Collect; Commercialization; Comparative Urban Study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autores: <\/strong><span class=\"name\">Kaue Lopes dos Santos e <\/span><span class=\"name\">Pedro Roberto Jacobi<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dispon\u00edvel em:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercator.ufc.br\/mercator\/article\/view\/e20021\">http:\/\/www.mercator.ufc.br\/mercator\/article\/view\/e20021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LOPES DOS SANTOS, Kaue; JACOBI, Pedro Roberto.
