Abstract
The environmental problems caused by waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in China have aroused the attention of the Chinese government, enterprises and researchers from universities and institutions. Since 2005, some national pilot projects have been launched by the Chinese government to construct large-scale WEEE recycling infrastructures. The increasing domestic generation and illegal trans-boundary shipment of WEEE flowed into informal treatment sectors of WEEE and provided great challenges both in protecting the environment and in the large financial burden placed on the formal recycling infrastructure in the collection and treatment of WEEE. The environmental issues caused by the improper recycling of WEEE have caused concern. The Chinese government issued a series of policies and laws for the management of WEEE and environmental protection. Technologies and systematic solutions of environment problems and recycling of WEEE are being developed.
