China has been experiencing a rigorous challenge for the waste electronic and electric equipments (WEEE) since the drastic increase of domestic generated WEEE. The WEEE dumping from developed countries to China increases this disaster. In this report, the present technology and equipments used in developed counties are assessed. The main drivers behind their sound recycling and recovery system are revealed as well. Meanwhile, this report states significant reasons, which arouse the survival dilemma of formal companies and the serious environment problem of informal individuals facing by China.

The comparison and assessment result shows that: (a) an enormous disparity presents in technology and equipment needs within two systems existing in the China(as well as in other less-developed countries, such as India, Nigeria) and developed countries; (b) the context arising from the amount, definition and source of WEEE, market of second-materials reuse, employees, policies and governance system is quite distinct. Thus, through selected WEEE, this study makes following recommendations which are best available technology for China, including: which technology, equipments, and combination processes are optimal choice, and which should be adapted to newly develop or design. It seeks to leverage both of the environmental impact and resource extraction within the present advanced technology in developed countries and specific factors in China.
