Research On Environmental Deposit System Of Waste Electronic And Electrical In China

The number of waste electrical and electronic equipment with the development of the economy continues to grow.And WEEE products have two sides.It is a resource when people use it appropriately.It can be pollute the environment when people use it inappropriately.The Environmental Deposit System of WEEE is based on the theory of circular economy.When the electronic appliances have the risk of polluting the environment,the enterprise should pay a certain standard deposit to the national institution according to the environmental deposit payment list.And when the electronic appliances enter the sales process,the consumers need to bear part of the deposit responsibility,and at the end of the life of the electronic appliances,the products will be sent to the designated recycling point the deposit can be retrieved.The WEEE deposit system has been used in developed countries to control the environmental pollution of WEEE and has achieved remarkable results.Germany,Belgium,Norway and Japan have their own local characteristics in the construction of the environmental deposit system for waste electrical and electronic equipment,which has important implications for China.The main features are to build a safeguard mechanism for WEEE,to improve public participation,to improve the market mechanism and reduce the loss of efficiency brought about by administrative coercion,and to focus on the establishment of recycling channels to ensure that the flow of WEEE to the formal recycling channels is unimpeded.To alleviate the pollution problems caused by waste electrical and electronic equipment,China has constructed a series of legislation to "fund the system" as the core of the recycling system of waste electrical and electronic equipment.However,the current recycling system still focuses its legislation on how to recycle WEEE after it has been discarded,neglecting to control pollution at the "source".The major problems with the current WEEE recycling system are the lack of operability in the legislation,the lack of clarity in the obligations of the recycling bodies,the lack of a complete incentive mechanism,and the lack of clarity in the regulatory power.Therefore,the improvement of China’s WEEE recycling system is necessary to draw on the advanced experience of foreign countries to build China’s WEEE environmental deposit system.The main contents include establishing the legislative principles of the WEEE environmental deposit system and the obligations of various subjects,clarifying the scope of the WEEE environmental deposit system products,setting up the collection and return system of the WEEE environmental deposit.
