As a key factor to improve the quality of life, household appliances have broad prospects for development. With the continuous increase of national disposable income and the upgrading of consumption structure, it has become a new trend to disassemble waste household appliances and extract hazardous wastes mainly including printed circuit boards, fluorescent powder, leaded glass and engine oil, as well as solid wastes mainly including plastics, iron, copper and aluminum.
Since 2009, China has promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of Recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (Decree No. 551 of the State Council). Producers of electronic products, consignees of imported electronic products and their agents shall, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, pay for the disposal funds of waste electronic products. ” “The State encourages electronic and electrical manufacturers to recycle by themselves or by entrusting distributors, maintenance agencies, after-sales service agencies, and waste electronic equipment recyclers.”
According to statistics, at present, 100 million to 120 million waste household appliances are eliminated annually in China, with an increase of about 20%. It is estimated that the total number of discarded household appliances in China is expected to reach 137 million this year. Such a huge volume seems boring, but many enterprises smell business opportunities.
The favorable policies have made the trend of environment-friendly recycled plastics prosperous. Consumer brand enterprises have released a large demand for using recycled plastics, and consumers are also proud of consuming recycled plastic products. Leading layout, driving the overall development of the industry.
Market scale of electrical and electronic recycled plastics
The disposal volume of waste electrical and electronic products in China has risen steadily, and the market scale and market potential of the disposal industry are huge. Plastic is an important part of waste electrical and electronic products. Waste plastic accounts for about 30-50% of all kinds of waste electrical and electronic products. Based on this ratio, the market scale of household appliance waste plastics with only four machines and one brain can reach 2 million tons/year, and with the elimination of overdue household appliances, the recycling of household appliance waste plastics will also usher in a large incremental market.
The most mainstream waste plastics in waste electrical and electronic products mainly include: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), etc. Among them, ABS and PS are commonly used in the manufacture of liners, door panels, shells, etc., with a large range of use and usage. The future incremental market will provide more possibilities for ABS and PS recycled materials.
