Abstract:

Plastics are widely used as raw materials in the manufacture of household electrical appliances. It is crucial to research how to recycle waste plastics from household electrical appliances with high efficiency and high value. Different plastics have been widely used in household electrical appliances according to their different advantages, presenting a trend of light weight, health and environmental protection. This paper summarized the policies and standards in China and analyzed the current situation of waste plastics recycling technology. With the promotion of an extended producer responsibility system, the intelligent and efficient sorting equipments and composite processing technologies will be adopted in the waste plastics recycling industry of household electrical appliances to improve the value of resource utilization, establish and develop a standardized threshold for the performance of recycled plastics, build and improve the application market of recycled materials, and enhance the recyclability of native plastics through ecological design.

Key words: household electric appliance, waste plastic, recycling, resource utilization, extended producer responsibility system
