On August 15, 2004, Weicheng Environmental Protection Industry (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., invested by Singapore Weicheng Industry, officially broke ground in wuxi new district, which is the first professional pollution-free treatment plant for electronic waste in China.
Singapore Weicheng Industrial Co., Ltd. is a global professional electronic waste disposal and environmental protection enterprise. The company invested $65 million to establish Weicheng Environmental Protection Industrial Company in Wuxi. After the first phase of the plant was completed in March 2005, the annual processing capacity reached 30,000 tons, and after the second phase, the annual garbage processing capacity will reach 60,000 tons. The factory is divided into 12 sub-item, including dismantling process plant, mechanical process plant, chemical process plant, organic solvent treatment plant and waste water treatment plant, mainly engaged in comprehensive waste treatment and recycling services of electronic manufacturing industry, involving electronic devices, communication equipment, automotive electronics, liquid crystal displays containing heavy metals and other wastes.
It is understood that the enterprise can extract various useful substances from e-waste as raw materials for the treatment plant, while other substances are exported as by-products, such as handicrafts and building materials, so as to maximize the recycling of limited resources.
E-waste generated by multinational companies such as Intel, Nokia, Hewlett-Packard and Philips, which have settled in the Yangtze River Delta, will be treated by the factory, but real electronic processing enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta are rare among their main customers.
As the "core viscera" of scrapped computers and mobile phones, electronic wastes such as circuit boards, chips and hard disk floppy drives will be "enjoyed" in professional treatment plants. First, the classification and disassembly, and then the circuit boards, chips, components and so on. It will be crushed into particles only about 1 mm, and then dissolved by high technology, from which valuable substances and metals including precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium will be separated. These precious metals will enter Singapore's futures market. In China, it may be sold as raw materials to some copper smelters and smelters. It is understood that the precious metal indium contained in the liquid crystal display of mobile phones can be sold for 1000 yuan per kilogram. The waste gas generated in the treatment process will enter special purification equipment. In case of leakage, the monitoring device with sensitive sense of smell will automatically give an alarm and the production line will stop immediately. The waste water will be recycled after purification and treatment.
As a global environmental protection enterprise specializing in e-waste, Weicheng Group, a listed company in Singapore, has made considerable investment in Wuxi this time.
According to relevant sources of Weicheng Environmental Protection Technology Shanghai Co., Ltd., as early as 200 1, the State Environmental Protection Administration intended to introduce an environmental protection company capable of handling e-waste and communicated with the senior management of Weicheng Group, but it was delayed due to various factors. The project settled in Wuxi, which was also related to the mayor of Wuxi's special trip to Weicheng headquarters in Singapore.
According to an insider, the processing scope of Wuxi factory is mainly Wuxi, Suzhou, Kunshan, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other electronic industry clusters in the Yangtze River Delta. Once the time is ripe, the second treatment plant may open in Guangdong.
In Wuxi, Weicheng has the first professional pollution-free electronic waste treatment center in China, with offices and recycling centers in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou.
However, the Acropolis also has embarrassing times. Due to the expiration of the hazardous waste business license held by Weicheng, the company failed to complete the construction as planned, and a large number of originally collected wastes were temporarily stored in the warehouse. In order to ensure the original collection of hazardous waste to be disposed of reasonably and prevent environmental pollution, Wuxi Environmental Protection Bureau issued a notice to suspend the reception of hazardous waste.
