An energy saving lamp 180 tons of water pollution?

Green energy-saving lamps, a big step in low-carbon life, energy-saving lamps with its small power consumption, long life advantages, from 2000 began to enter the Chinese households, as of 2009, the penetration rate has reached 90%. Over the past ten years, China has produced a lot of waste energy-saving lamps, but with foreign government policy guidance and actively develop recycling and processing, people form habits and actively participate in recycling "is different, at present there is no recovery policy, but for the ordinary people to waste energy saving lamps environmental hazards are also poorly understood.

Waste energy saving lamp as pollution source

It is understood that an energy-saving lamp tube containing an average of 0.5 mg of mercury, if infiltrated underground, will cause pollution of water sources of 90 - 180 tons. Because of the low boiling point of mercury, it can be evaporated at room temperature, the energy saving lamp tube is broken, and the mercury concentration in the surrounding air can be more than 100 times. Once the mercury into the human body exceeded, it will destroy the human central nervous system, a inhalation of 25 mg of mercury vapor can be fatal.

National Development and Reform Commission, Energy Research Institute researcher Jiang Kejun told the life times reporter, in the same lighting effect under the premise of energy-saving lamps for ordinary incandescent lamp 1/5, life is 6 times.

However, due to the reasons for the manufacturing process, the production of mercury pollution from energy-saving lamps are more and more attention.

In addition, the energy-saving lamps, as well as paint, metal and other harmful substances, will pollute the environment. According to incomplete statistics, over the years, the country to promote energy-saving lamps up to 200 million, and in recent years is the period of mass replacement.

However, it is regrettable that our country is still in the area of energy-saving lamp recycling and harmless treatment. A large number of broken energy-saving lamps with the landfill or exposed to the air, seriously endangering the environment.

It is gratifying that many people have been aware of the environmental hazards caused by energy-saving lamps and action. At the beginning of February, a well-known domestic lighting enterprises in Shanghai launched the "energy-saving lamp waste recycling operations", according to the plan, by the end of this year will be in Shanghai 130 community resettlement waste energy saving lamps recycling bins; Zhejiang Deqing County consumer rights volunteers to each 0.5 yuan price of recycling of waste energy-saving lamps, to promote the concept of environmental protection.

Jiang Kejun said, I hope the relevant departments as soon as possible the introduction of relevant policies, community, supermarkets can also set up energy-saving lamp waste recycling bins, but also through the "new for old" or small gifts way to encourage people to develop awareness of recovery as soon as possible.

Sweden: full mobilization of the national recovery

At present, Sweden is trying to promote the recycling of waste energy-saving lamps and harmless treatment. Swedish Ministry of environmental protection explicitly requires that this year's recycling of waste energy saving lamps must be increased by 30% over last year, reaching only 2 million. And make a thorough investigation and evaluation of the current recovery system to improve the recovery system.

Local governments attach great importance to the civil power, detailed instructions for the recycling of energy-saving lamps and guide:

1 on the municipal government website can be found in your home from the nearest garbage collection or environmental protection stations, and some cities have garbage recycling center.

2 ask you to buy light bulbs store, whether you can accept the waste bulbs. Some stores are authorized by the government to be responsible for recycling and recycling.

3 in the supermarket where you buy a light bulb, there is also a box for the recovery of light bulbs, which can be used to discard waste bulbs.

4 in your living quarters of the garbage room, there may be discarded for energy-saving lamps dedicated box.

5 you can drive a car or the car will be sent to the nearby recycling center. Some municipal government regulations, waste energy saving lamps can only be sent to the recycling center management.

Don't break the 60 million energy-saving lamps stored in the home. If you accidentally broke the bulb, you have to quickly access the Internet, in the Swedish national chemical inspection agency on the web page, with energy-saving lamps as a search term, you can find out how to do.

7 in the discarded energy-saving lamp, note could crumble, even into the recovery box in the center of.

8 recovery of the right attitude is very important, the energy can not be absolutely discarded in the glass waste box, but can not be discarded into the general household waste bins.

Germany: a total of 8000 recovery points

Germany's energy-saving lamp recycling using the sales system and community recycling two parallel channels.

These outlets are distributed in the franchise stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, electrical stores, as well as the community. Like the famous German supermarket chain in its 361 stores have a collection box. The collection boxes are placed next to the plastic bottle collection box. The bright colors and the slogan are very attractive. In Germany, people want to discard waste energy saving lamps, you can log in by the environmental protection department and the energy-saving lamp enterprises association set up a recycling site, query collection point.

For example, there are 16 points in the reporter's block. These outlets are distributed in the franchise stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, electrical stores, as well as the community.

Like the famous German supermarket chain in its 361 stores have a collection box. The collection boxes are placed next to the plastic bottle collection box. The bright colors and the slogan are very attractive. There are some simple introduction on the box, how to collect energy saving lamps.

Germany's environmental protection department statistics show that in recent years, the collection of energy-saving lamps in Germany channel annual double-digit percentage growth. Currently, Germany has more than 8 thousand collection points.

In particular, the fastest growing commercial institutions, at present, the German 2/3 collection point is located in commercial institutions. These recycling energy-saving lamps are properly handled, more than 90% of the parts are reused after recycling. The German Association for the protection of nature called on the government to pass legislation that retailers must be responsible for recycling waste bulbs.

At present, the German government departments are on the energy-saving lamp recycling legislation.

Japan: recycling system is perfect

In addition, the government also funded the construction of specialized recycling "harmful" garbage in the factory, and factory site of hazardous waste processing steps are given a detailed description of the graphic. Japan is also very strict procedures for the recovery of energy-saving lamps, in Tokyo, for example, the government requires the energy saving lamp into a plastic garbage bag, and on the bag to write "hazardous waste", and the prohibition of waste mixed with resources. But also in the supermarket or convenience store set up a special recycling point, the government also provides a certain amount of economic compensation.

At present, Japan can be called the best energy-saving lamp recycling process. The Japanese government attaches great importance to recycling waste energy-saving lamps, the methods and policy details published in the local government website, including pollution assessment of energy-saving lamp, energy-saving lamp with treatment after damage, there is a special personal consultation window.

In addition, the government has also invested in the construction of a dedicated recycling "harmful" garbage factory, and in the factory site on the "hazardous waste," a detailed description of the steps of the procedure.

Japan is also very strict procedures for the recovery of energy-saving lamps, in Tokyo, for example, the government requires the energy saving lamp into a plastic garbage bag, and on the bag to write "hazardous waste", and the prohibition of waste mixed with resources.

But also in the supermarket or convenience store to set up a special recycling point, the government also provides a certain amount of economic subsidies, the recovery point can be carried out a number of preferential activities, such as the use of discarded energy-saving lamps for the purchase of goods, or for integration.

Specialized recycling factories mostly enjoy government subsidies, while the energy-saving lamp factory to the recovery will be recycled by cutting processing, will wash the glass as a heat resistant material for residential use or new energy-saving lamp materials; aluminum covered by high temperature melting aluminum material as the new re utilization; the mercury by chemical the high technology is a gasification process and the exhaust gas, non pollution to the environment.

In Japan, the pollution of waste energy saving lamps can be controlled to a minimum, in addition to the efforts of the government, enterprises and residents of a high sense of garbage classification can not be ignored.
