目前，韩国内在电子废弃物中并未回收到大量核心矿物，因此电子废弃物流入海外或直接被当做废 铁进行处理。韩气候环境部与国立环境科学院、韩国环境研究院、韩国地质资源研究院等专家组成合作 团队，从战略制定阶段开始听取现场声音，分析再利用技术及基础设施现状并制定实质性回收、再利用 方案。 据韩国《先驱经济》1月27日报道，最近，电动车和风力发电等尖端信息通信产业对核心矿物需求 正在快速增长，供应链稳定安全成为国家课题。韩气候环境部计划制定从电动车电池、通信设备、永久 磁铁等多种未来废弃资源中回收再利用核心矿物的战略。 （原标题：韩气候环境部计划构建核心矿物回收再利用体系） ...

Core Insights - The market for recycling and processing discarded electronic products in China is expected to exceed 150 billion yuan in 2024, with a significant focus on the recycling of old mobile phones due to rapid technological upgrades and concerns over information security [1] - The total number of idle mobile phones in China is projected to reach 6 billion during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, with information security concerns being a major barrier to recycling [1] Group 1: Recycling Process - A citizen in Shenzhen utilized the "Chip Shredder" app to arrange for the collection of old mobile phones, highlighting the convenience of on-site recycling services [3] - The recycling service offers two methods for ensuring data security: free shipping of phones in sealed packaging for destruction at a facility, or an on-site destruction service for a fee [5][18] - The phones are processed using a 2000-watt shredder, which reduces them to small fragments while minimizing environmental pollution [7] Group 2: Processing and Recovery - The China Resource Recycling Group has established a national platform for safe recycling and processing of mobile phones, with a demonstration project launched in Shantou, Guangdong [8] - Recycled phones are sent to a processing facility where they are disassembled, and components are sorted for further processing [10] - The shredded materials are melted at high temperatures to extract valuable metals, resulting in copper ingots that contain gold, silver, and palladium [14] Group 3: Economic Aspects - The processing of one ton of mobile circuit boards can yield copper ingots valued at approximately 360,000 yuan, translating to about 7 yuan per individual phone [19] - Users can choose free recycling options or pay for enhanced security measures, but currently, they do not receive cash benefits from the recycling process due to associated logistics and processing costs [18][19] - The China Resource Recycling Group aims to create an integrated recycling chain that addresses the challenges of electronic waste management [19]
