绿色产品也要绿色回收
固废回收尽管在节约资源和减少碳排放方面有着巨大的潜力，但也会带来无法忽视的环境影响。现代工业制成品往往含有部分危险化学物质，其回收过程也要用到危险制剂，严格的环保监管十分必要。近几年国内经常曝光回收“黑作坊”，工人徒手“暴力拆解”废弃物，废水未经规范处理排放，充分暴露了回收产业的环境风险。
在去年年底央视揭露光伏组件回收乱象后，近日生态环境部发布《废光伏设备回收处理污染控制技术规范（征求意见稿）》，对光伏设备全流程中需要遵守的环保流程进行规定。近年来，生环部已经针对多个回收产业发布污染控制技术规范。最新的光伏设备回收规范是继2022年锂离子动力电池回收规范之后，生环部再次对高速增长的“新三样”回收进行管理，在大量废弃产品涌入市场之前做好准备。
但锂离子电池回收产业的现状证明，规范回收产业仅凭环境标准远远不够，有约束性的行政规定和严格的执法才是关键。

Recycling “green energy products” should also be green
Recycling, despite its effectiveness in preserving primary resources and cutting down carbon emissions, comes with its own set of risks. For a start, modern industrial products often contain a plethora of hazardous ingredients; recycling these materials sometimes means using equally hazardous chemicals, which poses a significant risk to the environment. The sight of workers in China manually dismantling electronic products without adequate protection is a frequent occurrence – as is the discharge of untreated wastewater by recycling facilities.
Eleven months after China’s central television aired a scandalous documentary report on illegal solar panel recycling workshops in Henan province, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) issued a draft industrial standard on the subject – the Technical Specification for pollution control of waste photovoltaic power device recycling. This standard specifies the protocols that recyclers must follow when disposing of waste solar PV components to minimise environmental consequences.
In recent years, the MEE has dedicated considerable resources to improving the recycling industry by formulating more comprehensive technical guidelines on pollution control. This latest standard builds on a previous trial guideline for processing waste lithium-ion batteries issued in 2022, and marks an additional preemptive effort by the MEE to manage the recycling of new products, before their waste inundates the market over the coming years.
Nevertheless, as the recycling of lithium-ion batteries has shown, an MEE standard alone will not be enough to combat unscrupulous recyclers who disregard environmental regulations. To guarantee that waste solar panels – and other green energy products – are recycled by responsible companies according to industrial norms, administrative steps and enforcement activities should be taken.
