Research on recovery logistics network of Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment in China

Resource exhausting and environment deterioration are factors restricting the development of all countries and they can even threaten the human subsistence. The logos of economizing energy and reducing pollution are accepted by most countries. Scientific recovery of waste electronic and electrical equipments (WEEE) can not only reduce pollutions but also gain quantities of materials including precious metals. In this paper, firstly the status quo of recovery and dealing of WEEE in China and foreign countries are introduced. It is urgent to take some action in WEEE recovery for environment protection. Secondly, WEEE is classified by the source and destination. Thirdly, a sketch of system-of-systems of WEEE recovery logistics based on Chinese national condition is described. Lastly, the paper relates some encouragement and punishment measures for WEEE recovery and pollution reducing.
