China-Japan Comparative Study On Management System Based On E-waste

Metal resources are one of necessary basic resources for national economy and social development. China is rich in metallic mineral resources, especially rare minerals applied in many modern high-tech equipment and military equipment field. However, China is the largest developing country in the world and the global manufacturing power, with huge market demand sharply urging the exploitation speed of metal deposits. The depletion of metal resources has become a serious problem to be settled. China is a power on electronic products manufacturing and consuming, along with electronic waste rapidly increasing by 5% every year, 2-3 times of increment speed for the waste of general city, leading all the wastes. The grade of metal, especially rare metals contained in e-waste, can be dozens of times even hundreds of times of natural mineral deposits. They can be smelted and regenerated by effectively extracting and recycling to greatly alleviate the metal resource exhaustion caused by mass production and consumption. Japan is one of the countries advocating establishing recycling economy and achieving fruitful result, which has great reference value for the establishment of circular economy in China.Based on this, the similarities and differences of China and Japan in this field are expected to be summarized by comparing the environmental education, management system construction, technology selection and R & D etc in e-waste management for China and Japan. The new e-waste management system applicable to area recycling economy of China is constructed by referring to advanced and reasonable management system of Japan, which is used in empirical case to be tested rationally.In view of environmental education and management system construction, this paper has made a conclusion. To carry out environmental education in e-waste field, the formulation of related laws and policies on this area must be accelerated. Site visit to the related enterprises should be rendered. Medium propaganda and education content should be continuous. Priority must be given to environmental education of student. The environment education system aiming at severely polluted area should be established. In addition, the paper compares and analyzes the impact of new e-waste management system and existing management system to area circular economy development and public environmental education by empirically researching on the e-waste management system of Guiyu town, Guangdong, providing example and workable policy for the rule and development of e-waste recycling of our country, consummating the new system of area e-waste reutilizing, promoting the goal of circular economy.
