Strengthen environmental public opinion response capabilities supplementation of electronic waste environment comprehensive management shortcomings

Text 丨 Luo Jinsheng

In recent years, my country has achieved remarkable achievements in the field of electronic waste environmental management. About 600 million "four machines and one brain" (television, refrigerators, washing machines, air regulators and micro computers) have been disassembled. In 2021, the annual processing capacity of waste electrical appliances has reached 172 million units, but there are still some domestic and overseas institutions and media organizations that are "news reports" and "research results" that are in doubt about authenticity. In the future work, the analysis and judgment of the relevant environmental public opinion situation should be strengthened, the shortcomings and weaknesses in the comprehensive management process of the electronic waste environment should be carefully sorted out, and the response is actively actively.

1. Comprehensive management of electronic waste environment is remarkable

(1) Comprehensive management system for electronic waste environment continues to establish and improve

my country's comprehensive management legal system in electronic waste environment has been basically sound. The Law of the People's Republic of China on Solid Waste Pollution Environmental Prevention and Control of the People's Republic of China, "The People's Republic of China Clean Production Promotion Law", "The People's Republic of China Circular Economy Promotion Law", "Regulations on the Management of Waste Electrical Electronics Products" and other laws and regulations Importing, consumption, collection, transportation, disassembly treatment and other links have made clear specifications, which are the main basis for the supervision of the entire life cycle of electrical electronics and electronics. The system of responsibility for the production of abandoned electrical electronics processing funds as the core is becoming increasingly mature. The coordination mechanism of electronic waste management cross -ministerial committees has been established and improved. Resolutely prohibit the entry of electronics "foreign garbage" and never allow developed countries to use our country as a "garbage dump".

(2) Stable and standardized development of the electronic waste treatment industry

At present, 109 waste electrical processing and disposal enterprises in 29 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country are included in the subsidy range of waste electrical electronics processing funds. From 2012 to 2020, the state reviewed the subsidy of 21.9 billion yuan in subsidies for the processing of abandoned electrical electronics processing funds. Under the huge incentive effect of the fund, about 600 million "four machines and one brain" entered the regular dismantling channel, which largely curbed the occurrence of illegal dismantling. The actual disassembly volume of waste electrical appliances increased from 10.1 million units in 2012 to 87.85 million units in 2021, of which the disassembly volume of waste electrical appliances in Henan, Sichuan, Zhejiang and other provinces ranked among the top nationwide. The standardized disassembly of electronic waste has effectively eliminated the potential environmental risks of electronic waste, ensured the health of the people, realized the high unity of economic growth, resource conservation, ecological protection, and improvement of people's livelihood. Development and high -level protection of the ecological environment.

(3) The phenomenon of illegal disassembly of electronic waste is effectively curbed

Known as the "first town of electronic waste disassembly", Guangdong Shantou Guiyu Town, Guangdong, has carried out a comprehensive environmental rectification operation of "combining blockage" through a complete environmental protection infrastructure to achieve the original disorderly malignant expansion. To the leap -up development of green transformation and upgrading, the situation of "house disassembly, household smoking, acid liquid discharge river, black clouds cover the sky" has been gone. The Zhejiang Taizhou, which was previously referred to as "the Yangtze River Delta 'most poisonous' electronic waste disassembly base", was previously called "Yangtze River Delta' 'the most poisonous' electronic waste disassembly base. "Detoxification and detoxification" work. In August 2021, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region ecological environment and the public security department jointly formed a special inspection team to strictly investigate the illegal dismantling behavior of abandoned electrical electronics products. A total of 6 illegal enterprises were filed for investigation. Operation.

Second, comprehensive management of electronic waste environment, shortcomings, weaknesses, hidden concerns emerged

(1) Insufficient publicity, the risk of environmental public opinion is prominent

Due to the inadequate publicity work in time, there are "blocking points" and "time difference" in information interaction, which has caused the public and the international community to achieve a low awareness and recognition of my country in the field of electronic waste management. Some individuals or organizations at home and abroad are "blogging" and "hot search". Without in -depth investigation and research, the so -called electronic waste management "news reports" and "research results" that are authoritative and authentic are issued. Information is easy to cause public misunderstandings and induce online public opinion.

(2) The "cycle blocking point" of electronic waste becomes a "annoying point of the people"

Public participation is a key part of electronic waste environmental management. At present, the phenomenon of "lost contact" between the public and electronic waste formal recycling outlets, recycling outlets and electronic waste formal processing enterprises still exist. On the one hand, the public often does not know where the waste electrical appliances on hand are; on the other hand, many qualified electronic waste processing companies are "not full". The phenomenon of mixing electronic waste with ordinary domestic waste still exists. In addition to the "four machines and one brain", there are quite a considerable number of other electronic waste methods flowing into the streets and lanes unlicensed hawkers or unlicensed individual workshops.

(3) The academic research results in the field of environmental health are disconnected from the times

Environmental health research related to electronic waste involves a number of disciplines such as environmental sciences, biomedicine, chemistry and chemical industry. The discipline is high and professional. It is strongly professional. It is insufficient in domestic experts, scholars and their academic achievements in this field. It has become the field of academic research. The weak link. In the CNKI database, "electronic waste" is searched with "electronic waste" as the keyword search. The number of literatures involving electronic waste -related environmental health risks has not exceeded 10 articles, and the release time is basically concentrated before 2016. Related Chinese academic documents The slow update rhythm caused some negative research results to repeatedly quote or even hype by domestic and overseas media, which caused environmental public opinion. 3. Multiple measures to improve the level of comprehensive management of electronic waste environment

(1) Continuously improve the top -level design of the comprehensive management of electronic waste environment

The newly revised "Law of the People's Republic of China The Control Law of the People's Republic of China" as a fundamental follow -up and action guide, enhance the public opinion response capacity involving electronic waste environmental management, enhance the public participation in electronic waste environmental management awareness, and continuously improve the electronic waste environmental management Related financial security system. Do a good job in the integration of electronic waste environmental management and carbon peaks, carbon neutralization and other tasks. Strengthen the system of responsibility for producers, and comprehensively improve the overall strength, technical level and profitability of my country's electronic waste recycling and utilization industry. Vigorously carry out electronic waste treatment and environmental protection facilities to open activities to the public, guide the public to participate in supervision, make the consciousness of regrets and protect the environment deeply rooted, eliminate the public's misunderstanding of electronic waste environmental management, and resolve the risk of e -waste -related environmental public opinion risks from the source.

(2) Promote the research on environmental health related to electronic waste -related environmental health

Gather the wisdom for all parties, encourage relevant colleges and universities, research institutes, enterprises and institutions, etc. to carry out relevant research, open up the latest results of the latest results of the basic health foundation of electronic waste -related environmental health, and create a "academic matrix" for comprehensive research on electronic waste. Explore the academic consortium of "hygiene and health+ecological environment", focusing on environmental health, electronic waste derivatives such as new pollutants, and other relatively weak fields, continue to follow up the entire process of electronic waste processing and results, and actively respond to social concerns. Taking academic achievements as the key communication carrier, some unreasonable information involved in electronic waste management will be bored in time.

(3) Tell the Chinese story of ecological environmental protection in the new era

Continue to increase the positive publicity of the effectiveness of the environmental governance of the electronic waste, do a good job of exchanges and mutual learning of electronic waste management at home and abroad, and be proficient in the expression of "international language context". Strengthen domestic and overseas media, private think tanks, industry associations, chambers of commerce, and the public to correctly understand the effectiveness and difficulty of work in my country's electronic waste governance, and continuously expand the circle of friends of the international public opinion of Huayouhua. Establish a business communication and coordination mechanism for the competent department of ecological environment and environmental protection NGOs. Do a good job of "ecological and cultural output", publish a number of Chinese and English readings with both readability and infectious China Electronic waste environmental management series. Actively participate in environmental protection international forums and conferences, continue to do a good job of comprehensive management of electronic waste environment management, enhance the right to speak and initiative, and focus on improving my country's international communication influence and international public opinion guidance in the field of ecological and environmental protection.
