Scrap Electronic Recycling Still Suspend Fees Standard announced in March

The recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment once again encountered the "only hear the thunder does not rain."

A home appliance company official told the “China Enterprise News” reporter that “a boot used in the recycling of waste electrical and electronic product management regulations fell as early as two years ago. However, the first batch of five-class products that implement mandatory recycling has a recycling fee standard. Other boots such as subsidy standards and charging methods have not been able to land on the ground. This will directly affect the mandatory recovery of domestic waste household electrical appliances."

Recently, the "China Enterprise News" reporter learned from the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association's Waste Electrical and Electronic Working Committee that detailed contents such as charging standards and charging methods for waste electrical and electronic equipment will be announced in March this year. At present, there are still large variations in details such as specific product charge standards and subsidy methods. However, it is a foregone conclusion that production companies pay fees according to production. Recycling and dismantling enterprises must maintain high standards of cost subsidies to maintain normal operations.

The charging standard was announced in March as soon as possible. On January 1 of this year, the state formally implemented compulsory recycling of color TV sets, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and computers. According to the regulations and supporting regulations issued by the State Council and the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, etc. Measures, the above-mentioned five types of products production companies will pay for the product recovery and processing costs, the corresponding recovery, dismantling companies will also receive a certain percentage of the subsidy costs, thus comprehensively promote the recycling of waste electrical and electronic products reuse.

However, since the Regulations came into effect on January 1, the relevant measures and measures for the “Consumer Electronics and Electronic Disposal Fund” led by the Ministry of Finance have not been publicized for a long time, which means that the above-mentioned production companies and recycling and dismantling Enterprises can only continue to choose to wait and related work will not be implemented smoothly.

A number of heads of domestic home appliance companies also said in an interview with the China Enterprise News that “before we learned from the media about the recycling of used home appliances, the company has not yet received relevant notices and documents. The details are not clear, or follow the original workflow.” In this regard, Tian Hui, deputy secretary general of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Industry Committee, told the “China Enterprise News” reporter, “The first draft of the management method for recycling funds discussed earlier. Compared with the second draft, the charging standards for the five categories of products have been further improved. The manufacturer's fee is set between 10 and 20 yuan, and the subsidy standard for recycling and dismantling companies is between 70 and 100 yuan. In the first draft, the "20% discount on the production of green products for enterprises" was cancelled."

Tian Hui said that the increase in the charging standards in the second draft is to take into account the promotion of the long-term sustainable implementation of the entire policy, and increased the collection of recycling fees. Among them, air conditioners and washing machines charge less, while TVs and computers charge the most.

Regarding the principle that processing funds could not be introduced, Tian Hui revealed that “the current state is not willing to increase the cost pressure on enterprises in order to stimulate domestic demand. However, in order to dismantle the future development of the recycling industry, it must The expropriation, as a result, the company's burden is very heavy, once for policy makers are also very tangled."

Recycling benefits of production companies Many reporters also learned that the approach to fund collection and management that will be announced in March will also adopt a “multiple recovery model” for product recycling and dismantling, and change the “one size fits all” strategy that was previously recovered by professional third-party companies. "practice.

Tian Hui revealed that in the first draft, the dismantling and recycling of products were collectively assigned to third-party professional companies, but in the second draft of the latest discussion, it has been clearly stated that “the encouragement of production companies to participate in the recycling, dismantling and reuse of products, and Manufacturers that meet a certain number of recycling standards will be exempted from recycling fees."

According to insiders, used household appliances include metals, plastics, glass and other materials, such as televisions, glass accounting for 53%, iron, copper, and aluminum accounting for 16%; refrigerators and washing machines have useful values ​​above 50%; computers, mobile phones, etc. There are many precious metals and rare metals in the product, and there are certain gold on the chip circuit board. The company is profitable. It is reported that TCL, Changhong and other companies have previously set up a professional environmental protection recycling company, in which TCL is also building a green recycling industry park in Tianjin, designed to grasp the opportunities in this area. "China Enterprise News" was also informed from several sources that there are currently several air-conditioning companies in Guangdong that are actively preparing for the establishment of a professional recycling and dismantling company, aiming at sharing a share in the field of product recycling.

However, the reporter learned from the dismantling and recycling companies in Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places that the professional dismantling and recycling companies that currently meet the national environmental protection requirements involve third-party logistics transportation, the development of professional personnel, and other issues. With the impact of the “recycling guerrillas” throughout the country, corporate operations have been at a loss, and they must rely on state subsidies to make a living.

Jiang Feng, chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, believes that it is international practice to subsidize recycling enterprises according to their recycling volume. At present, it is not just for profit, but more importantly, to explore a win-win situation for sustainable industries and enterprises in the current market environment for home appliance companies to enter the field of waste recycling and dismantling.

Recycling and dismantling pressures are currently high. The biggest problem faced by all waste electrical and electronic product recycling and dismantling enterprises in China is that in addition to the daily loss of the company’s daily operations, it is possible to encounter losses and detachable goods. The bigger problem is from technology. Lack of experience and professional equipment.

In June 2009, the State Council decided to launch trials of home appliance replacement policies in 10 cities including Beijing and Changsha, and to promote it nationwide in June 2010, giving consumers 10% sales subsidies for the purchase of five types of home appliances. Eliminating waste home appliances in the home.

In the past more than one year since the implementation of the policy, the biggest problem encountered was that the recycling of used household appliances in many consumers' homes was not timely. Many dismantling companies complained that too many products were recycled and the production line was too late for dismantling and recycling. On the one hand, there is no specific establishment of a logistics system for used products. On the other hand, there is a shortage of professional environmental dismantling staff and equipment, and many companies face greater challenges in handling and secondary use after dismantling.

However, in Tian Hui’s view, the implementation of the trade-in policy is considered to be a national policy for the implementation of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling Regulations. It intends to establish and form a group of professional electronic recycling and demolition of used electrical appliances throughout the country. Solve the business and find a "green recycling" operating system.
