The public recycling awareness is weak The energy-saving lamp recycling system needs to be improved

Energy-saving lamps gradually replace incandescent lamps because of their energy-saving and high-efficiency. According to a survey by the reporter, as the largest energy-saving lamp producer in the world, the system for the recovery and reuse of energy-saving lamps in China needs to be improved.

According to experts' estimates, the average mercury content in each energy-saving lamp is about 0.5 milligrams, which can contaminate 90 to 180 tons of water and surrounding soil. Once mercury enters the body, it will cause irreversible damage to liver and kidney function, central nervous system and autonomic nerve function. Since the obsolete energy-saving lamps are so toxic, how is it usually disposed of? The reporter randomly visited several districts in Hangzhou and discovered that most residents are arbitrarily discarded.

Residents: Throw in the trash. Now basically throw away, because I do not know which side there is a specific recovery.

The reporter learned from the Zhejiang Provincial Economic and Trade Commission that the recycling of waste lamps should be the responsibility of the promotion company. Hangzhou Yuzhong Gaohong Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. is one of them. The company's subsidiary set up a recycling company, but the operation is very difficult. First of all, there are very few sources of waste energy-saving lamps.

Mr. Zhong, Marketing Director: The recycling of used lamps is still in its infancy. Consciousness has not yet arrived. Most people are now thrown away when they are broken. In this piece of rural market, the consciousness is even thinner.

Zhou Jiafeng, deputy director of the provincial Economic and Information Commission Resources Department, said that the government and related companies still have a lot to do to improve public awareness of the environment and reduce recycling costs.

Zhou Jiafeng: Then the country is also researching, specifically through the sun lighting (company), a captive company. He specifically has a project for recycling pilot projects and engages in a topic, including how to enforce recycling through legislation.
