Abstract
This study offers a systematic review of the research on the treatment of waste household appliances in China in the past 20 years. A total of 1123 related articles were selected from the CNKI database from 1998 to 2020 to sort out the hot spots, evolution and frontier trends. The results show that: (1) In the past 20 years, the research on waste household appliances in China has followed the development path of “society-technology-human”, gradually evolving from the macro level to the micro level, and the research in the field of waste household appliances governance has begun to take shape. (2) With the increasing enrichment of research methods and the continuous expansion of research ideas, the research topic breaks through the boundaries of single theory and discipline, and reverse logistics, closed-loop supply chain, recycling behavior, recycling and dismantling technology, etc. have become research hotspots. (3) From the initial study of the management experience of developed countries to the study of recycling management with Chinese characteristics, China’s “Internet + recycling” model is ahead of the international level and has become the latest research hotspot.
Highlights
With the shortening of the life cycle of electrical products, electronic household appliance have begun to enter the product decline stage, the global elimination rate has been increasing and its number has reached a new peak

The literature review on the governance of waste household appliances in Chinese academic circles stays at the level of introduction and comment, and there is a gap in the discussion based on the analysis of measurement
Summary
With the shortening of the life cycle of electrical products, electronic household appliance have begun to enter the product decline stage, the global elimination rate has been increasing and its number has reached a new peak. The governance of waste household appliances is an urgent environmental, economic and social problem to be solved in China. The literature review on the governance of waste household appliances in Chinese academic circles stays at the level of introduction and comment, and there is a gap in the discussion based on the analysis of measurement. This paper takes the relevant literature of the CNKI database as the source, and uses CiteSpace to sort out and analyze the research status of waste household appliances in China, so as to provide a panoramic view for researchers in this field
