With the continuous development of technology in the electronics industry, the world is facing a serious challenge posed by the loss of e-waste. China is one of the world's largest production bases and consumption centers for electronic products, and the volume and growth rate of e-waste generation far exceeds the world average. According to the latest report of the United Nations Environment Programme's Global E-Waste Monitor 2020, the total amount of e-waste generated globally reached a record 53.6 million metric tons in 2019, and the report predicts that by 2030, global e-waste will reach 74 million tons. Over the past decade, the world has produced as many as 10 billion units of discarded e-waste, and e-waste pollution can no longer be ignored. Therefore, for electronic product manufacturers and relevant government departments, the recycling of e-waste has become urgent.

 

The report of the "20th Congress" of the Communist Party of China in 2022 proposed to "insist that science and technology is the first productive force, talent is the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force", to deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, to open up new areas of development and new tracks, and to continuously shape new development We will continue to build new momentum and new advantages. To make science and technology self-reliance and self-improvement as the strategic support for national development", which points out the direction for building a world science and technology power.

 

On the new journey, under the support of "double carbon" policy, as the country increases investment in the industry, China's WEEE recycling industry gradually develops in the direction of "Internet recycling", relying on the Internet as an invisible network in the future. In the future, relying on the invisible network of the Internet, the construction of regional sorting centers and the application of technologies such as big data and blockchain will realize the unified recycling, sorting, allocation and disposal of all kinds of idle materials, which will usher in good development opportunities for China's WEEE recycling and processing.
