Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the upcoming wave of waste from new energy equipment in China, including electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, and wind turbine blades, and highlights the country's increasing recycling capabilities for these materials [1][3]. Group 1: Waste Generation and Recycling Capacity - By 2030, it is estimated that China will generate approximately 1.5 to 2 million tons of waste solar panels, 500,000 tons of waste wind turbine blades, and 1 million tons of waste batteries [1][3]. - The recycling capacity for waste solar panels and wind turbine blades is around 2 million tons and 1 million tons, respectively, while the capacity for waste batteries from 148 qualified recycling enterprises reaches 2.5 million tons [3]. - The recycling capabilities exceed the actual waste generation, leading to situations where recycling companies often face underutilization [3]. Group 2: Regulatory and Financial Support - Since January 1, 2022, the "Four Machines and One Brain" fund has been suspended, but the Ministry of Finance continues to allocate special funds to support compliant dismantling enterprises through a reward and subsidy approach [3][5]. - Over 90 dismantling enterprises are supported by special financial funds, with a standardized dismantling capacity of approximately 180 million units [5]. - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to enhance environmental supervision and promote the standardized recycling and dismantling of waste electrical and electronic products [6]. Group 3: New Pollutants Management - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment is actively working on new pollutants management, having approved the registration of 802 new chemical substances since 2022 [10][11]. - A comprehensive survey covering 122 industries and over 70,000 enterprises has identified more than 1,000 chemical substances with potential high environmental risks [9]. - The Ministry aims to establish a nationwide monitoring network for new pollutants and strengthen risk warning systems [11].
