E-waste recycling will be carried out by the company responsible for the extension system will be introduced

Zhao Hualin, deputy director of the Pollution Control Department of the State Environmental Protection Administration, revealed on December 8th the launch of the "Green Box Environmental Protection Plan - Joint Action on Waste Mobile Phones and Accessories Recycling" jointly launched by China Mobile, Motorola and Nokia. As for the recycling of electronic waste, China will introduce a system for extending the responsibility of production enterprises.

Responsibility extension system will be introduced

According to Zhao Hualin, developed countries generally stipulate an extension system for production responsibility of enterprises including electronic production enterprises. This system requires that production enterprises, including electronic production enterprises, also undertake recycling and processing while producing products. Responsibility for waste products. He said that in China, because there is neither legal nor a corresponding extension of production responsibility, the disposal of e-waste has been plaguing the industry. At the same time, due to the disorderly recycling and utilization of e-waste, resource waste and environment have been caused. Pollution.

Zhao Hualin said that at present, the State Environmental Protection Administration is working with relevant parties to study and formulate an extension system for production responsibility of enterprises such as electronics. The implementation of this system is not far off.

Disorderly recycling

According to statistics, starting in 2003, China will scrape at least 5 million TV sets, 4 million refrigerators and 6 million washing machines every year. In addition, more than 5 million personal computers have been abandoned each year and 70 million mobile phones have been eliminated. By September 2003, the social security of China's five major TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and computers had reached 760 million units. At the same time, the average life expectancy of computer products has been reduced from the initial 4.5 years to about 2 years.

Wang Ning, vice president of the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce, said in an interview with this reporter that the recycling method of electronic waste products in China is mainly for self-employed households to recycle waste electronic products. There are two kinds of specific recycling methods. For the discarded electronic products that can still be used, they can be sold in the old-fashioned market. The electronic products that have been scrapped and used cannot be disposed of in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Pearl River Delta areas. These manufacturers use their own The method extracts precious metals and discards parts of the products that cannot be used. Such recycling methods have many drawbacks, leading to environmental pollution. This pollution is particularly evident in areas where small waste electronics processing companies are concentrated.

Paying attention to the way

For China, we will introduce a system of extension of production enterprise responsibility to regulate the disposal of electronic waste. Wang Ning said that at present, no enterprise in China can completely recycle and recycle waste electronic products. If each company in China is required to purchase waste electronic product processing equipment to dispose of its own discarded electronic products, it will cause the company to raise the price of the product and transfer the responsibility to the consumer. The forthcoming extension system of production enterprise responsibility requires enterprises to assume responsibility for recycling and disposing of discarded electronic products. It does not mean that the enterprises themselves should finally deal with discarded electronic products. According to China's national conditions, the best way for companies to take responsibility for recycling and disposing of discarded electronic products is for the government to introduce policies to establish waste electronic products processing plants in a certain area, and to treat discarded electronic products in a centralized manner, while enterprises pay fees or other ways to take responsibility.

System traceability

The idea of ​​the producer responsibility extension system can be traced back to Sweden's 1975 bill on waste recycling and management. It is proposed that producers have the responsibility to understand how to handle the product in an appropriate way from the perspective of environment and resource conservation. . In 1986, the Federal Republic of Germany stated in its report on the implementation of the Waste Avoidance and Disposal Act that producers are partly responsible for the disposal and disposal of their products after they are disposed of. In 1988, the Dutch Ministry of the Environment’s memorandum on the prevention and recycling of wastes believed that the policy should point to the designer of the product, and the product design and producer should be aware of the environmental impact of their products at the time of disposal and bear certain Responsibility. In the 1990s, the concept of extended producer responsibility was quickly disseminated and entered the realm of practice and legislation.
