| Abstract | ||
| The amount of electronic waste has increased rapidly because of increased consumption and production of electrical and electronic equipment in the world. This study examines the situation of e-waste recycling in China. It also explores if e-waste recycling causes more environmental damage than economic benefit for China. This study examines the effective legislation of import e-waste to China. This study advances our understanding of e-waste and China. The present study was dependent on grey literature and policy documents. I then analyse these documents by using thematic analysis. The findings from the research show that e-waste recycling in China has caused environmental problems in two sectors: formal and informal. This happens because the formal and informal sectors do not properly deal with e-waste properly. However, e-waste recycling in China achieves economic profit in the informal sector. . | ||
