Pressing against too much regulation of electronic waste

“Old TV each 50 yuan, 30 yuan each old washing machine … …” walk in the streets, recycling vendor’s “mobile advertising” can be seen everywhere. Experts called on the waste generated by household appliances such as environmental hazards can not be taken lightly, remediation, “e-waste” is urgent.

With economic development, the city will inevitably generate a lot of “electronic garbage”, including the waste home appliances, office equipment, scrap, scrap copier, printer consumables, etc.. CPPCC Fujian Province, Xiamen City Council adviser Huang Jianguo Democratic National Construction Association believes that these “electronic garbage” and generate new pressure on urban environment, if not handled properly, will result in great damage to the environment. He said that television, computers, mobile phones, audio and other electronic products, lead, cadmium, mercury, six-chromium, PVC plastics, brominated flame retardants such as a large number of toxic and harmful substances. Such as TV picture tubes contain explosive wastes, mercury television screen; cathode ray tubes, printed circuit board soldering and plastic are all toxic substances; refrigerator refrigerant and foaming agent can destroy the ozone layer; and waste computer even greater, a computer needs more than 700 kinds of chemical raw materials, 50% or more harmful. Data shows that TV or computer monitor in a large number of cathode ray tubes contain lead, which will lead, once heavily polluted water into the soil will eventually harm humans, plants and microorganisms, but also on children’s brain development has a dramatic effect . A drop of ink residue can contaminate 60 cubic meters of water, a cartridge can produce 100 grams of harmful dust into the environment.

Huang Jianguo said that currently the “e-waste” still does not have a proper approach. Most of them were Chuanjiezouxiang hawkers buy good quality point of being sold to second-hand home appliances small businessman, a little order into the vast modified low-income families in rural or urban, there are significant security risks; poor quality sold to small workshops, or through non-formal dismantling of electrical components for the old, or through burning, crushing, dump, concentrated acid very original approach to extract precious metals, resulting in direct discharge of waste, resulting in serious secondary pollution . Some of the direct mixed solid waste, and this causes serious environmental pollution. There’s waste recycling office supplies were hawkers counterfeiting.

“‘E-waste’ disposable harm is too great!” Huang Jianguo said. To this end, he called for legislation as soon as possible to complete the disposal of electronic products and recycling of “harmless”; production of electronic and electrical products should not contain as much as possible with six or less toxic components, or the production company should pay the environmental fee ; while establishing large-scale e-waste recycling facility, specializing in e-waste. “And now you can do immediately is to environmental protection system for the recovery center, set up e-waste collection network; the same time, shopping centers and production enterprises should set up e-waste recycling. On this basis, the establishment of a standardized electronic products the secondary market to improve efficiency in the use of electronic products, save resources and reduce pollution. ”
