Description
The term "electronic waste, in municipal solid waste" refers to discarded electronic products and their components generated during residents' daily life and consumption, such as obsolete mobile phones, computers, household appliances, and lighting equipment. These items, once mixed into municipal solid waste, have lost their original functionality or, although not entirely devoid of utility, have been abandoned. Through collection, disassembly, sorting, and resource recovery processes, such electronic waste can be reclaimed for valuable materials including metals (e.g., copper, aluminum, gold, silver), plastics, glass, and other materials, which can then be reused in industries such as metallurgy, electronics manufacturing, and construction materials production.
