As a result of the sale of cottage products, the company has been widely criticized. However, as an e-commerce platform, it does not produce cottage products. It is at most a porter of cottage products. Then the question comes: Where do these cottage products come from?
According to a recent survey by the Beijing News, the TV products such as 'Xiami Audiovisual' 'Ace of Good Products' 'Kangjia 4K' appearing in the fight are mostly from the workshops located in some streets in the southern part of Guangzhou. 'Small to a power line, As large as the LCD panel, each part has a dedicated operator, the cost of each link is kept to the lowest possible. Different shops are responsible for dismantling, repairing, recycling, reloading, OEM, opening in the hut The rough flow line is formed between the workshops. 'The description of the Beijing News report makes people feel that the more important part of the cottage product assembly line is the dismantling of old appliances instead of making new ones - in fact, worrying The problem is exactly here.
Plus workshops can 'put costs to a minimum', depending on the source of the raw materials they use: In addition to the defective products that have been eliminated by formal home appliance companies, the largest source of goods is second-hand electrical appliances. The latter is not only cheap but also has sufficient supply. China's renewable resources recycling According to the association's data, China's household appliance scrap revenue has increased by 20% annually in recent years. It is estimated that by 2020, the annual scrapped quantity of electronic products will reach 137 million units. Most of these scrapped home appliances have not entered the formal recycling channels, but have been used. The market, some of which were sold to rural and urban renters after a simple refurbishment, and the other part was sold to cottage home appliances plus workshops.
This situation also leads to two kinds of undesirable phenomena: The regular household appliance recycling enterprise 'eats not enough', has been in a state of loss for a long time; illegally added workshops to dismantle and assemble waste electrical appliances as raw materials, and support a huge cottage home appliance market.
From this point of view, whether from the perspective of environmental protection or from the normative market perspective, the supervision of the recycling of used household appliances should be strengthened. In fact, the existence of the above problems, to some extent, reflects the imperfection of the recycling system of used household appliances. Many consumers prefer to sell used household appliances to the guerrillas who walked the streets and are not willing to hand them to qualified regular troops. On the one hand, the latter is a bit tricky, and the asking price is too low. On the other hand, there are some consumption. The people are too concerned. And this kind of calculation reflects both people's widespread backward consumption concept, and it also shows that some people do not know how they should be responsible for household appliances recycling.
In many countries, pre-payment systems are implemented for household appliances recycling, allowing consumers to pay a fixed amount of recycling fees. For example, in Japan’s Household Appliances Recycling Law, consumers are required to pay a certain amount of garbage when they dispose of large appliances. Processing fee. Of course, in terms of recycling of used household appliances, the biggest responsibility is the production enterprise. The reason is very simple: Whoever enjoys the benefits, whoever bears the corresponding responsibility. Hong Kong waste electrical and electronic products implemented since August 1 The Product Producer Responsibility Scheme stipulates that when purchasing new regulated appliances, the sellers must provide customers with free statutory and old-fashioned services. The public can arrange to transport new appliances on the same day and remove a piece of old electrical appliances of the same category from the premises. At the same time, the seller must also provide the customer with the corresponding recycling label, and the words 'recycling levy' will be listed in the sales receipt.
The Hong Kong government emphasizes the responsibility of home appliance producers. This is an internationally accepted practice. The current Regulations on the Management of the Recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products in China also refer to the principle of 'who benefits and who is responsible,' which stipulates that producers must be in the life cycle of products. Responsible for environmental responsibility, complete a series of work such as recycling and disposal of discarded products. In addition, the regulations also require the strengthening of the producers of electrical and electronic products, or the commissioned sellers, maintenance organizations, after-sales service agencies, and group-based family workshops. The standard management of the mode, in order to promote the processing of electronic waste to the direction of enterprise, specialization, industrialization and centralized processing.
However, the existing problems indicate that China's laws and regulations on the recycling of household appliances are still not perfect, and market supervision is not satisfactory. Obviously, it is more important and important for government regulators to perform their duties than producers and consumers. Only all responsible persons can take action and keep the entrances and exits of used household appliances in order to allow them to end well, and also allow some cottage appliances to die due to the supply of raw materials.
