Research on the Recycling Question of Electronics Manufacturers Implementing EPR Based on Differences in Consumer Demand

Abstract:

According to consumer different preferences for new products and recycled products, considered on the differences in product demand, the recycling question of electronics manufacturers implementing EPR is studied in this paper. Firstly, the recovery rate of electronics manufacturers under the unconstraint of EPR is studied. Then, a reasonable recovery rate under the constraint of EPR is analyzed. The study shows that a reasonable recovery rate under the constraint of EPR should be constraints in the range between that electronics manufacturers actively implemented and forced to treat EPR. And the production costs is higher, the recycled goods costs is lower, and the waste products recycling difficulty is smaller, which reasonable recovery should be ordered greater. Finally, the policy and recommendations for implementation of EPR is given which EPR should be Implement sub-period phases and sub-enterprises.
