3 Background 1)Non-renewable resources and energies are in short of supply in the whole world. This situation is particularly emergent in China. 2)The short of energies and resources is constraining the economic development and the improvement of people s living standard. 3)With the increasing popularity rate of mobile phones and the piling up of used mobile phones, environment problems caused by mobile phones is becoming a universal problem in the world.

4 4)Similar with the developed countries, China faces the problem resulted by the great number of used mobile phones. If treated improperly, serious environment pollution may be resulted.. 5) China s actual situations require us to both alleviating the environment pressure and saving energies and resources. 6)Good, orderly and high-technological electronic dismantling industry will both solve the pollution problems of used mobile phones and make good use of them.

5 The proliferation of used mobile phones Aug- 08 Nov- 08 increasing rate of china s mobile phones (according to MII)

6 (1) the frequency for users discarding used mobile phones 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 36% 24% haven't changed mobile phone 37% 24% % 14% % 11% 11% 8% 7% 4% half a year one year 1-2 years 3 years above 3 years the time of people using mobile phone(2007vs2008)

7 (2) the amount of obsolete used mobile phones 45% 40% 35% 35.0% 41% 39.2% 2007 年 2008 年 30% 25% 20% 15% 29% 22% 15.2% 10% 5% 0% 6.2% 5% 3% 2.4% 0 1 set 2 set 3 set above 3 set how many mobile phones you have?

8 Ⅱ The situation and dilemma of China s dismantling industry of used mobile phones 1) two confusing views:trash or resource about the essence of used mobiles 2) the increase of used mobiles and the resource lack of dismantling industry. 3) the developed dismantling technology and the lag recycling system.

9 4) dismantling technology the coexistence of manpower and machine. 5) the coexistence of family workshop and scaled factories.

11 Ⅲ The reasons for the dilemma of used mobile dismantling industry. 1, For the reason of Echelon consumption, there appears a special mobile phone cycle period of Chinese character.

12 1) the manifestation of economic imbalanc Disposable income of urban residents Per capita net income of rural residents The national average eastern area middle area western area The income difference of Chinese citizen in 2007(China Statistical Yearbook 2008) unit=yuan

13 Average per capita disposable income (urban) High-income households(10%) Upper-middle households(20%) middle households(20%) Lower-middle households(20%) Low-income households(10%) Hardship households(5%) The lowest income households(10%) national average The average disposable income of citizens (China Statistical Yearbook 2008) unit=yuan

14 Average per capita net income (rural) High-income households(10%) Upper-middle households(20%) middle households (20%) Lower-middle households(20%) Low-income households (10%) Average per capita net income (rural) (China Statistical Yearbook 2008)unit=yuan

15 2) the imbalance of economy brings the imbalance of mobiles popularity rate Urban mobile phone(set/hundrend household) rural mobile phone(set/hundrend household) The change of number of mobiles owned by rural-urban families(china Information Yearbook 2007, unit=set/hundrend household)

16 the absolute gap of mobile phone ownership between urban and rural households absolute gap of mobile phone ownership between urban and rural households (China Information Yearbook 2007)

17 relative gap of mobile phone ownership between urban and rural households elative gap of mobile phone ownership between urban and rural households (China Information Yearbook 2007)

18 3) the comparison of Gini coefficients between mobiles and average GDP GDP mobile phone

19 4) people s different incomes lead to the result that they buy different price-level mobiles. 50.0% 45.0% 40.0% 35.0% 30.0% 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% 19.1% 39.1% 36.3% 23.6% 46.4% 44.4% 43.0% 31.8% 20.7% 20.8% big city middle and small city Town rural area 15.1% 12.5% 13.7% 10.6% 7.4% 5.3% 6.4% 6.9% 5.0% 2.7% 1.9% 1.9% 0.9% 1.3% below 500 yuan 500~1000 yuan 1000~2000 yuan 2000~3000 yuan 3000~4000 yuan above 4000 yuan

20 5 )Mobile phones given to the relatives and friends rural area 11.8% Town 12.8% middle and small city 22.6% big city 25.4% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% the proportion of different regions send used mobile phones to friends and relatives

21 2,Multiple ways of dealing with used mobile phones retaining for their own (40%, 75.7%); giving to relatives and friends (approximately 30%,21%); selling (paid Reclamation) (about 22%,14%); free reclamation (special garbage) (about 3%,0.6%); throwing away as ordinary trash (about 3%,5.5% )

22 2.5% free reclamation(special garbage) % selling(paid reclamation) 21.8% 14.1% throwing away as ordinary trash 3.2% 5.5% giving to relatives and friends 20.7% 29.5% retaining for their own 39.4% 75.7% 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% 80.0%

23 3,second-hand mobile phone consumption caused by unbalanced economy 1) In accordance with the geographical classification of users, they can be divided into three categories. 2) In accordance with the occupations (or identities) of consumers they are roughly divided into five categories.

24 4,mobile phone maintenance industry 30.0% yes no 65.6% Have you repaired your mobile phone?

25 The particularity of China s way of dealing with used phones

26 Ⅳ the particularity of used mobile phone dismantling industry in China 1,Used mobile phones :old but not waste 2,The embarrassing situation of mobile phone dismantling industry

27 Ⅴ The complexity of dealing with mobile phone dismantling industry in China 1,the Building of Complex Recycling System. 2,Conjunct impacts of different factors 1) Public participation 2)Producers extended responsibility 3)Market management 4)international cooperation

28 Recovery price is too low Worry about leakage of personal information don't know where the recycle site is remain as backup mobile phone inconvenient to go to recycle site haven't thought make use of function except calling not interested in mobile phone recovery it's pity to destruct recycle mobile phone as monuments collection recovery procedure is trouble Don't know mobile phones can be recycled 21.1% 16.7% 15.5% 14.4% 13.1% 10.6% 10.4% 10.0% 7.7% 5.8% 4.7% 48.3% 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% The reasons people don t have their used mobile phone reclamation

29 Would you like have your used mobile phone reclamation to the counter When buying a new one? 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 49.8% 47.2% % 20.0% 20.1% 19.4% 27.4% 24.7% 10.0% 0.0% 3.8% 4.4% Unconditional willing If discount, willing to unwilling never thought

30 VI The Evolution of China s Environmental Protection Policy 1) ,the period of priority over the development strategies of heavy industry 2) s, the period of modernization development strategy 3)1990s-2002, the period of sustainable development strategies 4),2003-now, the period of ecological civilization development strategy

31 The low-carbon economy 1)From aiming at economic growth to aiming at both environmental protection and economic growth, 2)From environmental protection lagging behind economic growth to both marching abreast, and from mainly resorting to administrative measures to a combination of legal, economic, technical and necessary administrative means to solve environmental problems. 3)"Environmental protection optimizes economic growth" had gradually become important principles for formulation and implementation of environmental policy.

32 Project Growthrate Urban environmental infrastructure construction investment Industrial pollution control investment Construction of the "three simultaneous" projects Total investment

33 Research Center for Japanese Studies, Tsinghua University 1)International cooperation between Tsinghua(China) and Japan 2)Support many low-carbon economy programmes

34 Best wishes for a low-carbon society in the world!

35 Thank you for your attention!
