1 Promoting 3R strategy: e-wastes management in China State Environmental Protection Administration of China Zhou Guomei For Asia 3R conference, 2006
2 Contents 1. Current status of e-wastes in China 2. Regulations on e-wastes 3. Problems and challenges 4. Policy directions and suggestions
3 Current Status of e-wastes in China Main sources of e-wastes: Waste electronic products from households Waste electronic products from governments, institutions and enterprises Defective electronic products from manufacturer Imported electronic waste
4 The amount of electronic products in use and amount of e-wastes in China 10 Major electronic products of 2005 The amounts of electronic products in use: 2.1 billion sets The life year for e- products is about years in China E-Waste amount generated: million sets; about 2 million tons per year
5 E-wastes generated in China
6 Flows of e-wastes recycle and disposal importer Company/ group repair Processor for recycled materials producer seller household recycle dismantlement Disposal Market for secondhand products Complete machine, components Product flow Waste flow Secondhand products flow Recycled resources flow e-wastes are sold by producers to small peddlers (informal sectors) Secondhand products resold to the market for reusing Recovery of valuable items and metals, such as steel and iron, waste plastics, waste metal.
7 Current Status of Electronic Wastes Treatment in China Classification and dismantlement by hand Treatment on circuit board Treatment on electrical wires and cables Treatment on CRT Treatment on printing ink
8 Serious adverse impacts to environment and damage to the public health by inappropriate way for recycles and disposals of e-wastes in China
9 Why the problems are serious Direct reasons: Labour intensive sectors, operated mainly by small business and informal sectors, with weak capacity to handle the e-wastes disposal Driven by economic benefits and the environmental cost is externalized Application of very backward technology, recovery only valuable metals, and disposal of the heavy metals and toxic pollutants Low awareness of damage caused to the health and environment Electronic wastes flowed to the regions with low labor cost and poor supervision and management on environment protection, causing great environmental risk
10 In-depth reasons: lack of regulations and weak enforcement in China Problems existed in The Law on Prevention and Control of Solid Wastes E-wastes are difficult to be categorized to current three classifications of solid wastes: industrial, municipal and hazardous wastes; Hard to define polluters causing e-wastes pollution: producer, consumer, recycle and disposal firms or individuals Hard to ensure treatment and disposal fund EPR has been proposed in the law as a principle but no operational system
11 Existing polices for e-wastes Polices formulated by several ministries Management regulation on pollution control of electronic information products issued by 7 ministries including Ministry of Information Industry, NDRC, SEPA, etc. Provisions for management on recycle and treatment of waste household appliances and electronic products is being drafted by the National Development and Reform Committee since 2003 Technical policy for pollution prevention and control of waste household appliances and electric products is being formulated by SEPA
12 Policies, regulations and problems Collection of e-wastes: Coordination of responsibility of different stakeholders Not very much clear responsibility of stakeholders for e- waste management in China, SEPA, NDRC, Ministry of IT products, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of construction, etc. Formal wastes recycle companies decrease rapidly Collected mainly by informal sectors Insufficient sources of e-wastes for formal sectors State tax preferential policy for wastes recycle industry and distortion of implementation in practices
13 Chinese government strengthen e-wastes management Management regulation on pollution control of production of electronic sectors and IT, by 7 ministries will be effective on March, 2007, national directories will be set up. The national regulations on e-wastes management in China (draft) has been submitted to the State Council for approval and expected the end of The pollution control for e-wastes will be strengthened in the process of dismantling, shredding, treatment, recycle and final disposals, regulations are drafted by SEPA.
14 Key policy tools for e-wastes management EPR and national directories of product for EPR; Encouraging the formal collection system of e- wastes; Funding support for e-wastes sectors with good environmental performances and other economic instrument; Research on some key advanced technology of recycling of e-wastes; National demonstrations for eco-town construction in Qingdao, Shenzhen city, etc.
15 Imported e-wastes management Forbidden lists of the e-wastes imported in 2000; Joint efforts by SEPA and Customers on illegal movement of hazardous e-wastes; Strengthen the environmental enforcement for e-wastes recycle and disposal firms Training and education, raising awareness of the publics
16 Stakeholder Analysis and Challenges For government and related sectors Environmental pollution Absence of management regulations fit for China and no formal collection system How to regulate waste electronic products For manufacturers, importers and sellers Worries on increase of production costs by adding recycle and disposal fee Difficulties in collection, storage, transportation and treatment process Unfair competition caused by weak implementation of laws and regulations due to regional disparity
17 Stakeholder analysis and Challenges For firms in charge of recycle and final treatment Worries about shortage of wastes resulting in inadequate treatment amount for treatment plant No idea on how to select treatment facilities and pollutants discharge standards Hard to identify proper treatment technologies Poor management and control on recycle process and causing secondary pollution For public Residential environment deteriorates Collection system of wastes Compensation mechanism
18 Suggestion 1 Learn Good practices of international experience on recycle and reuse of electronic products Turning from emphasis on end of pipe treatment to priority given to pollution prevention and control in the whole process of production and consumption System should be formulated and implemented beforehand Policies and measures should be comprehensive and diversified, and give emphasis on economic incentive means and market instrument Promoting public participation and setting up partnerships among government, enterprises and the public
19 Suggestion 2 Improvement of the legal system for recycle and reuse of electronic products in China Relative balance of social subjects embodied in the life cycle of products under the rules of responsibilities, obligations and interests Recycle and reuse of electronic wastes should accord with 3R principle System planning and design must follow life attributes of products in different phases of life cycle National law, regulations, and standards, technical guidelines need to established targeting e-wastes management and coordination of regulations are needed.
20 Suggestion 3 Setting up legal system for recycle and reuse of electronic products in China Definition and scope of electronic products Responsibilities of governments and stakeholders (including manufacturer, importer, seller, consumer, persons in charge of reuse and final disposal of wastes) during life cycle of products Policies and measures to promote recycle and reuse of wastes Supervision, management, legal liability and etc.
21 Suggestion 4: Promotion 3R strategy and international cooperation Preventing illegal movement, joint efforts by export and import countries are needed; Border control and cargo inspection; Monitoring and keep track of recyclables movement Capacity building for e-wastes recycle and disposal in a proper ways in developing countries in terms of monitoring, enforcement, technology and policymaking; Education and public participation, the role of NGOs
22 In summary: key system for e-wastes Improving products responsibility system Implementing EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) system Charging system for electronic wastes recycle and treatment
