Description

Xianlai Zeng studied e-waste and urban mining as associate professor at Tsinghua University, obtaining a B.Sc. in 2002, an M.Sc. in 2005, and a Ph.D. in environmental science & engineering in 2014. He ever worked four years as lecturer at Environmental Management College of China, and two years as a postdoctoral research fellow in Tsinghua University, and technical advisor in United Nations Development Programme.

He ever worked as visiting staff in Coventry University and Macau University.

He has published over 50 articles, patents, and books in waste recycling and management.

He chaired or attended 15 projects related to waste recycling and circular economy.

E-waste management has become the top global issue in terms of environmental protection and resource recycling.

Although many attempts have been carried out to address the issue, many problems remain.

This book contains seven chapters that not only review the history of e-waste management and summarize the achievement of technology and regulation, but also present some of the latest research in these areas involving e-waste generation, extended producer responsibility, and recycling process.

Finally, the book reveals the way to solve the global e-waste problem from academic research to national practices.

At the research level, the way forward is proposed in three aspects; these include fundamental knowledge, recycling technology, and eco-design.

At the practice level, four methods can be prospected for different types of countries and/or regions.

Regarding most developed nations, EPR has been adopted to ensure the adequate collection of e-waste.

With respect to most developing countries, legislation improving and collection channel strengthening will significantly contribute to e-waste recycling.

Regarding small countries or regions ratifying the Basel Convention, mobile plants with efficient amounts of equipment can be promising candidates for e-waste recycling. And for some countries with little e-waste production, a feasible solution for e-waste recycling is that related countries can unite to establish some field facilities for a synergic management of their e-waste.

This book is dedicated to solve the e-waste problem with some feasible solutions.

It will provide some assistance for many stakeholders in e-waste areas.

According to the obtained results and implications, academic researchers can find the future direction of unsolved subjects, and governments can make more reasonable decisions.
