Progress Reported on Construction of China E-Scrap Plant

Plant hopes to take in 30,000 tons of electronic scrap a year.

The Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area announced that the management of Taiding  Sci-tech Environment Protection Co. Ltd. is taking shape in TEDA Industrial Chemical Zone. 

 

The company is a center specializing in recycling and processing large amounts of electronic waste. Upon completion, the facility will become an electronic waste processing and recycling base with the largest capacity in northern China. It will be capable of consuming up to 30,000 tons of electronic waste annually.

 

In the future, all waste from Tianjin and northern China will be shipped to this center.    

 

More than 30,000 tons of electronic waste is produced in Tianjin every year; industrial waste and household appliance waste takes up to 50 percent of the total. 

 

The cost of the project is estimated to be around 100 million Yuan (US$12.35 million). The plant will process various kinds of electronic waste, including disposed electronic chips, computer motherboards, cables, wires, and other electronic components.
