E-waste dismantling has broad development prospects and the industry still has great potential for development.

Electronic waste, commonly known as “e-waste”, refers to electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded and is no longer used. Electronic waste dismantling refers to the activity of dismantling electronic waste, extracting useful substances from them as recycled materials, using methods to change their physical and chemical properties to reduce or eliminate harmful components of the remaining parts, and finally disposing of them.

Electronic waste has complex composition and contains many toxic substances. Improper treatment will cause soil and groundwater contamination and endanger human health. At present, the main methods for processing electronic waste include chemical treatment, mechanical treatment, fire treatment, microbial treatment or a combination of several methods.

In the context of my country’s continuous improvement in economic development and the increasingly severe environmental situation, the country has issued a number of policies to encourage and support the standardized development of the electronic waste treatment industry. In September 2022, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Management System of the Electronic and Electrical Equipment Industry”, proposing to implement preferential tax policies for the disposal of waste electronic and electrical products, focus on optimizing the layout of the recycling and processing network of waste electronic and electrical products, and continue to improve the waste electronic and electrical products The level of resource utilization and harmless treatment of products; strengthening the supervision of recycling and processing of waste electronic and electrical products, and increasing the intensity of law enforcement and penalties.

According to the “2023-2028 Electronic Waste Dismantling Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that discarded products of household appliances and consumer electronics such as air conditioners, televisions, and computers are important components of electronic waste. As my country’s economy continues to develop, national disposable income continues to increase, the penetration rate of air conditioners and televisions continues to increase, superimposed science and technology continue to advance, the upgrading of consumer electronics continues to accelerate, domestic electronic waste production continues to increase, and electronic waste dismantling The solution has broad development prospects.

Driven by national policy support and downstream market demand, my country’s e-waste dismantling volume has generally maintained a growth trend. In 2022, my country’s e-waste dismantling volume will be approximately 3.7 million tons, and the e-waste dismantling and recycling market size will be approximately 24 billion yuan. Among them, East China accounts for more than 37% of the e-waste dismantling and recycling market share, ranking first, and Central and South China ranks second with an output ratio of approximately 28%.

Industry analysts said that against the backdrop of promising industry prospects, the number of companies in my country’s electronic waste dismantling industry continues to increase, with leading companies Enterprises occupy most of the market share by virtue of advantages such as technology and scale, and the industry concentration is high. At present, the domestic electronic waste dismantling industry still has problems such as relatively backward technology, low resource recovery rate, and insufficient supporting equipment. The industry still has great development potential. At this stage, domestic electronic waste dismantling companies mainly include China Re Resources and Environment Co., Ltd., Tus Environmental Technology Development Co., Ltd., TCL Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., etc.
