The first chapter is an overview

According to the report "Current Situation and Market Prospect of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products Recycling and Processing Industry in China from 2022 to 2028" published by China Industrial Research Network, the processing activity of waste electrical and electronic products refers to dismantling waste electrical and electronic products, extracting substances from them as raw materials or fuels, and reducing the number of waste electrical and electronic products and reducing or eliminating their harmful components by changing their physical and chemical characteristics. And finally put it into a landfill that meets the requirements of environmental protection, excluding product maintenance, renovation and reuse as second-hand goods after maintenance and renovation. The upstream of the waste electrical and electronic recycling industry is mainly residents and some institutions, and the downstream is mainly the second-hand market and the metal and nonmetallic materials market. The recycling of waste electrical and electronic products in China is mainly divided into two links: recycling and dismantling. The project aims to protect the environment and contribute to the sustainable development of the motherland.

Chapter II Project Background and Necessity

1. Present situation of waste mobile phones

Recently, some media reported that there are about 400 million new and used mobile phones in the world every year, including nearly 654.38 billion in China. In modern society, there are more and more discarded items produced by the upgrading of electronic products, but few people pay attention to its negative impact on the environment, and even less people pay attention to how much use return the discarded items will bring to society through scientific extraction. A survey on the whereabouts of used mobile phones shows that in China, about 40% of consumers keep used mobile phones at home, 10% of consumers give them to relatives and friends, and another 50% of consumers eventually flow to street vendors who recycle discarded items. The report "Turning E-waste into Resources" issued by the United Nations Environment Programme predicts that the number of used mobile phones in China will increase by 7 times compared with 202 1 in 2022. This is an amazing statistic. Whether we are happy or worried depends on how we deal with it. With regard to the disposal of used mobile phones, Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries and regions have established a relatively mature system, especially some countries in the European Union, which have a high level of urbanization and developed economy, and citizens have a high awareness of environmental protection and law, and realized the value of mobile phone recycling earlier. However, in China, by contrast, the recycling of used mobile phones in China is not good enough, and the recycling industry of used mobile phones is not yet developed, but the recycling industry of used mobile phones has great development potential.

2. The value and significance of recycling used mobile phones

2. 1 contains more precious metals.

The main negative impact of discarded electronic products is environmental pollution, which is potential and easily overlooked by people. Guiyu, Chaoyang, Shantou, has been praised as "the largest dismantling base of waste electronic devices in China" at home and abroad. Due to the lack of effective supervision, in order to save costs, people disassemble electronic waste in the most direct and primitive way, and a large amount of acidic waste liquid is directly discharged, and the rivers and wells in Guiyu have already turned into black water. The investigation shows that the concentration of heavy metals in river bank sediments is thousands of times higher than the soil pollution standard recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency, while the pollutants in water are thousands of times higher than the drinking water standard. Once the groundwater is polluted, the losses caused to future generations are irreparable. Many people don't know that 1500 kg of gold, 30,000 kg of silver and1000 kg of copper can be extracted from1000 million discarded mobile phones. A mobile phone contains 54% steel, 20% copper and 65,438+07% plastic. The circuit board also contains precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium. The US Federal Environmental Protection Agency regards mobile phones as the top priority of "recycling" for many reasons. First of all, the use value of "recycling" exists objectively, and almost all mobile phone components and even packaging materials can be used to "recycle" to make new products. Mobile phones contain metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper, tin and zinc. , can be used in jewelry, electroplating, electronics, lead pipe, automobile, art casting and other industries to produce automobile catalysts, pipe cocks, gold and silver jewelry, etc. Mobile phone plastics can also be "recycled" and made into garden furniture, license plate frame, non-food containers and auto parts, and even used as alternative fuels. Mobile phone packaging materials can be recycled to produce fiberboard, and rechargeable batteries can be recycled to produce other rechargeable battery products.

2.2 Protecting the environment

Recycling used mobile phones is beneficial to environmental protection. The production of mobile phones requires precious resources such as precious metals, and the exploitation and processing of these resources itself requires a lot of energy. Therefore, "recycling" used mobile phones to extract metals can not only reduce the exploitation and processing of new materials, but also protect natural resources and reduce water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The energy saved by "recycling" 654.38 billion mobile phones is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 654.38+0.94 million American families, of which the energy saved by gold alone is equivalent to clearing 5.5 million tons of loose soil, sand and rocks, and generating a lot of garbage. Therefore, the recycling of used mobile phones and their batteries can not only achieve good social benefits, but also obtain rich economic returns.

3. Status quo of waste mobile phone recycling industry

At present, China's mobile phone recycling system is still immature, and there are few companies engaged in recycling used mobile phones, which is extremely disproportionate to the rapid accumulation of used mobile phones in China. Influenced by ideas, economy, technology and other factors, China has not yet established a perfect recycling system for used mobile phones.

3. 1 Discard as garbage.

Waste mobile phones and accessories have been thrown away as garbage, but there is no large-scale phenomenon of abandoned mobile phones at this stage. Due to the short service life and rapid product upgrading, there are a large number of abandoned mobile phones in China, most of which will be thrown away as waste.

3.2 Non-standard second-hand recycling market and simple dismantling workshops

Vendors who recycle used mobile phones can be seen everywhere on the street. Turn the old mobile phone upside down before selling it, or simply tear down some useful parts and throw them away or burn them as garbage. In the recycling process of used mobile phones, whether to protect the environment and avoid secondary pollution is one of the signs of the success of the recycling process of used mobile phones. The existing mobile phone disassembly technology is basically in the manual operation stage, and there is no large-scale and mechanized operation, and most of the disassembly operations are family workshops, which is easy to cause secondary pollution.

3.3 Spontaneous recycling by manufacturers and mobile operators

Previously, China Mobile and Nokia jointly launched the "Green Box Environmental Protection Plan", but its impact and effectiveness were very limited. The recycling method of mobile phones is too simple, which is a drop in the bucket in China.

Chapter III Market Prospect and Analysis

The development prospect of 1

In this materialistic era, people need mobile phones not only for communication, but also for entertainment and fashion. So the elimination rate of mobile phones is much higher than before, but the recycling market of mobile phones has not kept pace with the times, and the recycling of "second-hand mobile phones" still exists. Such a market can not meet people's needs, nor can it meet the harsh environment. We investigated the development prospect of recycling used mobile phones, and the results showed that:

1) About half of the people in the recycling market don't know how to dispose of used mobile phones, and most of them are temporarily put in drawers.

2) The market is fragmented, and most people like to trade in the recycling market, which shows that there is still a lot of room for development in the mobile phone recycling market. Just some small-scale mobile phone dealers and street vendors recycle used mobile phones.

There is a problem

2. The1system is not perfect: the comprehensive utilization of used mobile phones involves many links such as recovery, disassembly and disposal, and needs the support of mobile phone manufacturers, sellers, maintainers, communication operators, recycling institutions and dismantling and processing enterprises. However, the recycling method of used mobile phones in China has not yet formed a systematic, stable and perfect model, and its scale has not been standardized. The whole stage is still in the initial stage of exploration. According to our previous analysis of consumers' disposal of used mobile phones, it is not difficult to see that consumers have insufficient understanding of the disposal of used mobile phones, which also leads to insufficient recycling of used mobile phones and low recovery rate. Moreover, the cooperation between our country and mobile phone manufacturers and operators is not enough, which also restricts the recycling of used mobile phones to some extent.

2.2 Lagging concept: Most consumers in China have insufficient understanding of the possible environmental hazards caused by e-waste, and the phenomenon of discarding it casually is serious, and their awareness of choosing recycling is not strong. Consumers' backward understanding of mobile phone recycling has caused many obstacles, which not only caused immeasurable losses to the environment, but also indirectly increased the difficulty of recycling used mobile phones.

3 solutions

The recycling of used mobile phones is a huge system, and we can effectively organize a large and scattered social mass by integrating home users and small recycling vendors. Increase the publicity and advertising of the recycling of used mobile phones. Through advertisements and activities, we will increase the contact between consumers and the recycling of used mobile phones, so that more people can understand the necessity and benefits of recycling used mobile phones. Carry out online publicity to truly synchronize online and offline.

3. 1 Centralized integration of retail investors

At present, there are a large number of recycling vendors in the market, and the concept of recycling used mobile phones by individual users is low. Combined with the strategic thinking of changing the red sea into the blue ocean, it has strong operability. Integrate the existing small or independent waste recycling vendors in each community, recycle the waste mobile phones of individuals and family users in sections, and then collect the recycled products of these small or independent vendors at a uniform price slightly higher than the market price on a regular basis, and then collect and package the recycled second-hand mobile phones in a centralized way, and send them to qualified enterprises subsidized by the National Waste Electrical and Electronic Products Processing Fund for resource dismantling. The second-hand recycler's own interests have increased, but the market recycling efficiency has also improved. It not only reduces the breeding of malicious price reduction, but also increases the enthusiasm of ordinary people for mobile phone recycling. Contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

3.2 Don't throw it away and reuse it.

Due to the fast update speed and short service life of mobile phones, at present, many families have one or more discarded mobile phones piled up at home and have not been properly used. In fact, the community is a good communication platform. Do a good job in community environmental protection publicity, improve residents' awareness of environmental protection, and bring benefits to community residents. It will be a good way to replace idle used mobile phones with quasi-new products with extremely low subsidies, which can quickly speed up the recycling efficiency of used mobile phones.

3.4 or online publicity

Today, with the development of society, the Internet has penetrated into every family, and it has a strong promotion ability from the media and from the media. Making short videos can raise people's awareness of environmental protection, answer the problem of resource recovery for network users in the form of live broadcast, and reduce the loss of users' interests.

Chapter IV Summary

In today's society, mobile phone recycling is the focus of e-waste, one of the important contents of strengthening environmental protection, and also a major issue for China's current and future communication industry to achieve sustainable development. Waste mobile phone recycling company is a renewable resource project with both economic benefits and environmental protection. In this era of rapid economic and technological development, a large number of used mobile phones have become garbage. At the same time, it is also known as one of the best "urban rare metal mines". Although small, it contains 10 kinds of rare metals. The data shows. 1 ton of waste mobile phone batteries can extract 100 gram of gold, while the average gold ore only contains 5 grams per ton, even high-grade ore only has dozens of grams. Therefore, the Japanese gave a proper term to a large amount of electronic waste in modern cities-"urban mines". The recycling of used mobile phones can not only reduce the pollution of electronic waste, but also recycle useful substances and realize the recycling of resources. Replacing raw materials with recycled materials can also greatly save energy, which is in line with the realistic goal of vigorously developing circular economy and building a conservation-oriented society in China. The successful recycling of used mobile phones will have good environmental and economic effects. However, in the current recycling market of used mobile phones in China, the recycling rate of used mobile phones is less than 1%, and the recycling part is only the tip of the iceberg. Under the premise of huge economic benefits and good market, as long as we take the road of scale and industrialization and establish a good recycling system, the recycling company of used mobile phones in China has unlimited prospects.
