Promote the standardized development of the industry

In addition to Haier Zhijia, Gree Electric Appliances, the United States Group and other industry leaders have also accelerated the recycling system construction of home appliances.

On April 11, Gree Electric Appliances’ Zhuhai Gree Green Renewable Resources Co., Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding with Faurecia (China) Investment Co., LTD. The two sides will establish a joint venture by the end of 2024 to jointly develop, manufacture and sell recycled plastics, and achieve the sales target of 150,000 tons of compounds by 2030. Create sustainable solutions for the automotive, home appliances and other industries to enable the development of a green and circular economy.

125736-01 Ye Yingshi, head of Midea Group, said that at present, the Midea green recycling system has authorized more than 5,000 green recycling outlets, of which 2,200 have the integrated service capability of “sending – disassembly – assembly – recycling”, and a total of 3.098 million used household appliances will be recycled in 2023, realizing resource reuse, promoting energy conservation and emission reduction and the development of green circular economy.

However, while the head enterprise is trying first and moving forward on the road, it is still a long way to really improve the recycling and recycling system of household appliances.

China Securities Journal reporter research found that in the process of replacing old appliances with new ones, due to the non-uniform evaluation of some waste appliances recycling links, the existence of reverse hanging of recycling prices and freight, the lack of consumer awareness of the harm of waste appliances, recycling enterprises without formal procedures, there are still a large number of appliances overdue use, waste appliances lack of proper treatment and other problems.

Jiang Feng, executive director of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, believes that the difficulty in recycling waste electrical appliances is one of the important factors that cause consumers to replace new consumption. “Some old appliances such as air conditioners, water heaters, kitchen appliances, etc., consumers can not dismantle themselves, need professionals to dismantle; Some home appliances are large and heavy, and many refrigerators and drum washing machines weigh more than 100 kilograms, which is a big difficulty to carry.”

In response to the above problems, Li Shiliang said that Haier Zhijia is integrating relevant resources and building a digital recycling supply chain platform based on new technologies such as the Internet of Things, 125736-01 blockchain and AI identification. While realizing the visual, traceable and traceable aspects of waste household appliances in collection, storage, transportation and demolition, it also empowers relevant parties such as recyclers, dismantling plants and recycling enterprises. Ensure the quality of recycling and the authenticity of transactions, and promote the standardization and visualization of the construction of full-link recycling systems such as recycling, dismantling, recycling and reuse of waste household appliances.

Based on the successful practice of Haier Wisdom, Li Shiliang believes that accelerating digital development is the key to promoting the construction of household appliance recycling and recycling system. “Promote the whole industry to build a digital platform for the recycling industry, empower the whole field, put the data information of the whole industry chain such as recycling system, green dismantling, recycling on the platform, promote the standardized and high-quality development of the recycling industry, and empower carbon to be measurable, tradable, and shareable.”

During the two sessions this year, Hisense Group Chairman Jia Shaoqian proposed to promote the standardization of the construction of the national compliance network site at the national level, the construction of waste appliances recycling network, the enterprise side in the process of promoting the old for new work, for the collection of waste appliances can be handed over to the nearby compliance site, and then sent to the designated dismantling enterprise by the compliance site for green dismantling.
