Abstract:
After Chinas refusal to import e-waste, the environmental agenda of importing countries increasingly shares an opinion about the need to find alternatives for the disposal of this kind of waste. However, the question of how quickly such alternative solutions can be implemented, and whether such a delay contributes to the excess accumulation of waste remains open. In this regard, the research question is defined as follows: what challenges does the existing policy of China create for exporting countries and China itself with regard to WEEE exports, and whether the scenario of returning to the previous model of import–export interaction between China and exporter-states is acceptable? To study these issues, the work uses the method of political and legal analysis, as well as the method of case study. The article suggests that today the role of China is uncontested since the level of production of electronic and electrical equipment significantly exceeds the volume of WEEE. At the same time, the number of existing facilities and personnel of companies involved in the processing of WEEE is critically out of proportion to the growing volume of waste. The study examines the reasons for Chinas refusal to import WEEE, as well as perspective areas of legislative regulation of China in the field of handling WEEE.
