E-waste: disposal of dangerous waste recycling dilemma to be solved - waste, recycling, recall - HC - News - Business News

Present our specification and processing electronic waste recycling laws and regulations, and administration on the existence of a vacuum, and the lack of an effective system of recycling and self-restraint of trade, has led to resource waste and environmental pollution problems. Some people say that disposal of waste materials recycling is a gold mine, you do not believe it. Running past recycling market "scooters army" Now Niaoqianghuanbao, opened 130; and recycling disposal of "regular army" but for "of the necessary fuel," to worry about. Reporter recently learned from relevant departments, as Shanghai has only a professional lead-waste recycling companies, the Shanghai Nonferrous smelter flywheel year to collect 3,000 tons of waste lead-acid batteries, only enough for 20 days. The Shanghai scrapped lead-acid batteries a year the total reached 40,000 tons, only 7.5% recovery efficiency. Another was established in June this year by the Beijing University of Science and Technology and the joint venture's East Huaxin Xin Yi County of Hebei scrap battery recycling plant, designed to treat 3,000 tons of waste batteries. But there are also the engines work, the used batteries can not keep up the raw material supply problems. Dangerous waste or pollution is a gold mine With the rapid development of China's economy, various electrical appliances, communications equipment, small household electrical appliances in large numbers, battery usage is increasing dramatically. In recent years, especially the rapid development of China's battery industry, the battery output reached 14 billion, accounting for one third of world output, battery types up to 250 varieties in 14 series. Most of China's battery production for domestic consumption, only the annual consumption in Beijing reached 200 million batteries. As the electric bicycle power supply lead-acid battery scrap a dramatic increase in volume. According to incomplete statistics, last year's nationa l output of lead-acid batteries of about 50 million tons of waste generated annually in the future lead-acid batteries are almost 500 thousand tons. Environmental experts, one on the 1st battery rot in the ground, make 1 square meter of soil permanent loss of use value, a button battery 600 tons of water can be contaminated, while a group of lead-acid battery is its impact on the environment more than 10 times, and the resulting heavy metal pollution in soil for decades have led to difficult to restore. Waste battery contains large amounts of heavy metals, acids, alkalis and other substances, most of the domestic production of dry batteries also contain mercury and serious environmental hazards. Because of the highly toxic mercury, accumulation and easy migration and transformation, once into the ecosystem, the long-term harm, but also intergenerational transmission. Mercury pollution resulting from waste batteries the total mercury in municipal solid waste 60% -80% of pollu tion. The other hand, used batteries on the environment and the human body of these harmful heavy metals, it is relatively rare in industrial raw materials. In recent years, China's annual consumption for the production of dry batteries of about 120,000 tons of zinc, manganese dioxide, about 20 million tons, about 20,000 tons of copper. The lead waste through the advanced technology of processing, can be obtained from Secondary Lead as a raw material to produce high value-added lead alloy, has high economic value. The waste in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta to extract rare metals to feed a number of small workshops to get rich. However, due to gold mining at the time of their lack of technology, generally use indigenous sanctity, backward technology will have a lot of waste residue, on the environment "secondary pollution." Urgent need to protect the legal system Side is "recycling the guerrillas" and earn a small workshop pours, but on the other side is regul ar recycling "of the necessary fuel," embarrassing. The source is mainly driven by economic interests. East Hua Xinxin used batteries recycling plant director of Tulane column to reporters, the total investment of 7.8 million yuan plant investment calculation is based on the use of free recycling of used batteries, if the recovery of compensation, enterprise it is difficult to cost-effective. Although non-ferrous smelter in Shanghai as a flywheel price, but the low price is also very difficult to close up. Disposal of waste products as a party, most people are still reluctant completely free of charge recovery. Roots in the low-cost, high efficiency, waste recycling systems are in serious professional vacancy, which is rational of the above also embarrassing. Currently, standard e-waste recycling and disposal laws and regulations, and administration on the existence of a vacuum. E-waste from the waste, recycling to deal with all aspects are not explicit regulations to regula te, there is no clear regulatory authorities and responsibilities. The lack of an effective system of recycling and self-restraint transactions, but also leads to waste of resources and environmental pollution problems. China's first "waste electrical and electronic product recycling regulations," is expected to formally adopt and enforce, the future home appliances producers will bear the responsibility for recycling waste household appliances.
