According to media reports, on January 18th, the demonstration project for the safe recycling and disposal of mobile phones by China Resources and Environment Group started trial operation in Tianjin and Shantou. Consumers can place orders through the "Chip Worry Free" platform (mini program) or the telephone service hotline. They can choose to receive on-site damage services or opt for confidential mail recycling. The entire process is visualized, traceable, and traceable. After the mobile phone is recycled to the base, the battery and screen are dismantled in the confidential workshop and the entire machine is destroyed due to damage. Meanwhile, after disassembling the mobile phone, rare and precious metals can be extracted. As a "national team" in the field of circular economy and the first state-owned enterprise in China to focus on resource recycling, the "Chip Breaks Worry Free" platform of China Resources and Environment Group helps eliminate people's "worries" about the recycling of used mobile phones. The safe recycling and disposal of discarded mobile phones has long been a social issue. On the one hand, there are a large number of discarded mobile phones, which are seriously wasted and idle. According to data from the China Association for Recycling Materials, out of the 600 million to 700 million discarded mobile phones generated annually in China, 200 million to 300 million are recycled and processed; As the update cycle of mobile phones gradually shortens, the amount of scrapped phones is increasing. According to industry data, during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the total number of idle mobile phones in China will reach 6 billion, and the hidden value of second-hand mobile phones will exceed 600 billion yuan. According to data from the China Circular Economy Association, about 54.2% of discarded mobile phones are left unused by consumers, and only about 5% can enter professional waste mobile phone recycling platforms or trade in recycling channels. In fact, there is no garbage in the world, only resources that are placed in the wrong place. Mobile phones are generally left unused after being discarded, which is a huge waste of resources. A mobile phone contains a large amount of elements, including various rare and precious metals such as gold, silver, palladium, and rhodium, and is known as the "treasure trove of metals". A large number of discarded mobile phones are left unused by people, becoming "mineral resources" misplaced. On the other hand, in the information age, the issue of information security for discarded mobile phones has become increasingly severe. Many families accumulate more and more discarded mobile phones, preferring to idle and not sell them. A survey conducted by multiple consumer associations across the country has found that data information security has become the biggest factor affecting people's disposal of used mobile phones. Many consumers have expressed that the amount of money sold is secondary, as there is personal privacy such as photos, videos, chat records, as well as account and password information for investment and financial management, mobile banking, shopping, payment and other software in their phones. Even after formatting or restoring factory settings, it is difficult to guarantee that their old phones will not be recovered by professionals after being sold or exchanged for new ones, resulting in personal information leakage. Therefore, they can only throw their phones at home to "eat dust". The 'gold mine' of discarded mobile phones is not easy to mine. Previously, some professionals suggested that consumers should choose a legitimate, well-known platform with complete pre-sales, sales, after-sales, and refund service processes for disposing of used mobile phones to ensure safe and reliable transactions. In fact, to eliminate people's concerns, the standardization, normalization, and transparency of the waste mobile phone recycling industry are the key. Nowadays, the trial operation of the "Chip Worry Free" platform by China Resources and Environment Group provides consumers with a legitimate platform for recycling and reusing used mobile phones in a visual, traceable, and traceable manner. This helps to achieve high-quality recycling, trading, safe disposal, and reuse of used mobile phones, reduce electronic waste, improve resource recycling efficiency, and bring economic benefits. Of course, for the part involving the destruction of privacy information in the recycling of used mobile phones, relevant departments should further improve national legal norms, assign the responsibility of protecting user privacy information to operators who recycle electronic products involving personal privacy, clarify that operators should clean up user personal information, safeguard customer privacy rights, and not disclose customer related information to third parties when recycling used mobile phones, computers and other electronic products. Professional technical personnel should also be equipped to ensure that the data cleaning effect meets the requirements of personal information protection. The recycling of used mobile phones also needs to highlight the producer's responsibility. Mobile phone manufacturers (including associated distributors) have professional technical personnel to ensure the effectiveness of data cleaning. Recycling and utilization have high credibility in ensuring information security. More importantly, mobile phone manufacturers have a deep understanding of the phones they produce and have inherent advantages in recycling and utilization. When the recycling of used mobile phones eliminates numerous intermediaries and directly reaches producers, consumers will undoubtedly have fewer concerns. (New Society)
