"electronic waste" if handled well, mine is green, not handled properly, is dangerous goods. Last week, International Affairs from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation, the Georgia Institute of Technology, National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection Wu Kong, China National Electric Apparatus Research Institute and the nation's major universities and some large hundreds of experts in household electrical appliance enterprises in Guangzhou started a three-day summit dialogue.
spike at least 10 million people receive e-waste
US Summit From the message, China currently has an annual volume of electronic waste generated only after the U.S. ranked second in the world. The Guangdong Province is not only the electrical and electronic waste generated by manufacturing a large province, but also like the "garbage collection" in the province.
It is reported that Guangdong's electronic waste generated each year 80 million tons, but the annual processing capacity is 1.5 million tons, that is, handled 700,000 tons per year. Which 700,000 tons is to come in through various channels.
According to Zhang Xiaobin description vice president of electrical science, Guangdong Province, is the development of e-waste recycling the best of the province, but also costly. Because in the past dealing with the process, the technical means low, serious environmental pollution. If the Guiyu Chaoshan area is famous electronic waste disposal point, the local concentration of lead dust recorded higher than the world standard number of times.
Guangzhou as the capital of Guangdong, electrical and electronic emissions from the use and mention. "I see every day more than 10 million strong collection of electronic waste in Guangzhou city," said Zhang Xiaobin.
manufacturers take responsibility for recycling
2009, the global consumer electronics market yield of about 1.77 billion Taiwan, China take 77% of the global output of home appliances market. At the same time, China was also under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Products consequences of pollution.
in the end how to solve this problem? China's Ministry of Environmental Protection Division Dr. Li Boyang Wu Kong said at the meeting. Now the state is developing, "waste electrical and electronic product recycling management regulations", is expected to introduce next year in January. The Ordinance provides that "extended producer responsibility system", that is, who is who is responsible for production, when the appliance manufacturers have to take responsibility for recycling electronic waste.
addition and regulations, said Zhang Xiaobin, in order to solve the problem of electronic waste disposal, but also establish a sound market mechanism to enable electronic appliances to the scrap from the production, all aspects are within the control.
Japanese consumers currently throw an average cost of electrical appliances have to pay about 150 yuan. If you do not pay the recycling fee from the disposal of waste electrical appliances, is illegal, while in China, few people can realize arbitrarily discard old appliances is immoral.
