Regulations for the Administration of the Recovery and Disposal of Waste Electric and Electronic Products

These Regulations were promulgated for purposes of regulating the recovery and disposal of waste electrical and electronic products, promoting the comprehensive resource utilization and the development of circular economy, protecting the environment, and safeguarding the human health.

• Creation of a licensing regime for the disposal of WEEE
• Establishment of a fund that manufacturers and consignees are obligated to contribute to for disposing of WEEE, which shall be used as subsidy for recovery and disposal expenses.
• Encouragement to manufacturers of electric and electronic products to recover such products by themselves, or through their distributors, repair agencies, after-sale agencies, or operators engaged in recovering waste electric and electronic products.
