Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Generation: A China Perspective
The use of electronic and electric equipments (EEE) has proliferated in recent decades, and proportionately, the quantity of waste electronic and electric equipments (WEEE), such as TV, refrigerator, PCs, mobile telephones and entertainment electronics that are disposed of, is growing rapidly throughout the world. China is no exception. China faces a rapidly increasing amount of WEEE, both from domestic generation and illegal import. In 2006, it was estimated that the total waste volume of 9 kinds of selected e-products, including PC, notebook, mobile phone, washing machine, refrigerator, air conditioner, TV (CRT, LCD and PDP), was 80 million units, about 1.7 million tons. And it was extrapolated that the volume would reach to 220 million units by 2010. In addition, although WEEE was forbidden to import since 2001 in China, the total volume of illegally imported WEEE was about 1.5 million tons per year.
