Household appliances, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and other electronic products, rapid updates, is to make e-waste a growing concern for social problems. An investment of billions of e-waste disposal center in Hangzhou start early next year. As a national waste electrical and electronic products recycling system for one of the two pilot units, upon the completion of the treatment center will be able to handle nearly every year millions of discarded televisions, computers and other electronic products.
Resource Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization, Zhejiang Economic and Trade Commission Deputy Director Deady Rongjie Shao, currently related projects have been approved, e-waste disposal center to be built in Hangzhou, Hangzhou, Joe Division 12 Earth Environmental Co. in Fort. The project land by the Hangzhou Environmental companies and invested 56 million related to strategic investors, state and local governments, Zhejiang Province, the proportion of three to one share of remaining funds. Invested more than 5800 million worth of electronic waste in the first phase of works will be completed within two years, then annually for 20 million units will be more waste television sets, computers.
First three collection points in operation
"Hangzhou has come to television sets, computers, mobile phones and other electronic products, scrap the new peak, annual e-waste" production "will exceed one million units." Earth Environmental Co., Ltd. Hangzhou Wang Chunmin said. According to its introduction, common household appliances in the waste contains large amounts of heavy metals, halogen chemicals and other toxic substances, a discarded computer contains more than 400 kinds of toxic and hazardous substances, a waste, especially mobile phone batteries contain lead, nickel, zinc, cadmium and other toxic substances ... ... if these e-waste is thrown away, would pose a threat to water and air quality, computers, televisions and other equipment containing lead and beryllium metals may also cause cancer and other diseases.
Hangzhou
but can not recall the e-waste to the "output" of one fifth of the many families prefer to idle at home. The e-waste being recycled, the vast majority of it to the street to the "recovery guerrillas" collect, so the first task is to establish waste treatment centers and improve the recovery of channels.
E-waste disposal center in Hangzhou
the first three collection points (Riverside District Pu home community recycling points, Xiaoshan District, Lotus Lake Community recycling points and appliances Plaza, Xiaoshan District, Tin Lok collection points) has been the first to start. Pu home in the community, two television sets were collected waste was placed in a corner of the community meeting room, a lot can boot but the screen stripes, while another of the tubes had been broken only when the waste disposal. Community personnel, these waste appliances are community residents to see the promotional information, from sending them there. Residents get the recycling costs, determined by the degree of depreciation, general and "guerrillas" or slightly higher than the standards. Previously recovered 11 sets of waste TV sets have been transported to disposal center for processing.
Wang Chunmin introduced Hangzhou future will also open up more collection points, waste collection stations, appliance repair shop will be included in the future recovery of the network. The public will be holding close to deal with waste electronic products.
Center to enjoy non-polluting emissions of electronic waste
And usually gather in the streets of discarded household appliances, computers guerrillas worthless after the acquisition from the disposal of different parts, after the acquisition of electronic waste disposal center will be pollution-free treatment of electronic waste discharge: scrap computers, mobile phones "Core visceral "????? circuit boards, chips, hard drives floppy drive, etc. are classified first, dismantling, and then one of the circuit boards, chips, components, etc. will be crushed into particles of about only 1 mm, and then high-tech it dissolved, separated from the valuable materials and metals including gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other precious metals. The precious metals will enter the futures market, or sold as raw material in some of the domestic copper smelter. The process gas produced will enter the special purification equipment, non-polluting emissions.
"E-waste recycling is a high-tech industries, many of our technology and equipment imported from Japan and other countries in Europe and America." Deady said Rong.
Need for universal participation in recycling electronic waste
Learned, and Hangzhou also included as national waste electrical and electronic products recycling system pilot provinces and cities are Qingdao. But in Qingdao, although the relevant projects and programs have been initiated, the project's primary party responsible for the delay in Qingdao Haier is also substantial start. "Of the necessary fuel," so a lot of e-waste disposal center at the current embarrassing situation. "As used household appliances, computers were mostly among Linong 'guerrilla' take away, they cost very low, but is ready to build e-waste recycling center is almost zero emissions of harmful substances requirements, high cost, not compete." Qingdao Haier 1 person in charge, said in a telephone interview. Because it may not receive enough e-waste, invested nearly 100 million yuan of electronic waste disposal equipment will be idle. As an enterprise, Haier had to seriously consider that.
Of the necessary fuel is not only a Qingdao Haier. In recent years, the Yangtze River Delta area, start one after another e-waste disposal plant, completed, but many are idle. In Nanjing, the Nanjing invested more than 1,000 million Kanazawa, electrical and electronic waste processing company center since October 8 production has been completed, long-term idle. Because "a long period of time garbage collection of electronic circuit boards, is almost finalized within one hour."
