First batch of energy-saving lamps will enter the centralized retirement period

With the advancing of the “green lighting” project, hundreds of millions of energy-saving lamps listed in the first batch of financial subsidies in China are entering the centralized retirement period, and the consumption will exceed 1 billion in the future each year. Energy-saving lamps contain mercury, lead and other toxic and harmful elements, and are called by experts as the second largest source of mercury for domestic waste, which is second only to waste batteries. In contrast, China's energy-saving lamp recycling system has not yet been established and urgently needs attention.

According to the Changsha Municipal Energy Bureau, in 2008, the state launched the “Green Lighting” project. The energy-saving lamps used by urban and rural residents to purchase and use the winning bids were financed by 50%, and large enterprises such as enterprises and public institutions purchased subsidies of 30%. In addition, it also donated to remote mountainous areas through the implementation of the “Guangmingxing” public welfare project. From 2008 to 2011, Changsha promoted a total of 3.6 million efficient energy-saving lighting lamps, of which 1.61 million were promoted in 2011, 2.3 times that of Hunan Development and Reform Commission.

Wu Defeng, director of the two-type office in Changsha City, said that energy-saving lamps save 80% more than ordinary incandescent lamps, and the city promotes 3.6 million energy-saving lamps, saving about 179 million kWh annually, and reducing carbon dioxide emission by 171,000 tons. According to the comprehensive work plan for energy conservation and emission reduction issued by the State Council, the national "Green Lighting" project promotes 150 million efficient lighting products nationwide through fiscal subsidies. It can accumulate 29 billion kWh of electricity and save 29 million tons of carbon dioxide in one year. , 290,000 tons of sulfur dioxide.

In supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and other supermarkets in Changsha and Beijing, and some international brands of energy-saving lamps, a toxic and hazardous substance and element list is attached, showing the four major components of energy-saving lamp caps, lamp caps, ballasts, and plastic parts. There are different levels of toxic elements such as lead, mercury, and polybrominated biphenyls. According to the "Limit Requirements for Toxic and Hazardous Substances in Electronic Information Products" issued by the Ministry of Information Industry, there are lead and mercury in the capillary tube of spiral-shaped electronic energy-saving lamps, lead in ballasts, and polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated biphenyls in plastic parts. Ether exceeds the standard; while some energy-saving lamps are capillaries, lamp caps, and ballasts all lead exceeds the standard, and mercury in the capillary exceeds the standard.

Cao Ming, deputy director of the two-type office of the Changsha Municipality, said that studies in related universities have shown that the mercury content in the fluorescent tubes of used energy-saving lamps is on average about 0.5 milligrams, which is enough to cover a ballpoint pen tip. However, if it penetrates underground, it will be enough to pollute about 180 tons of water and surrounding soil. In addition, after the crushing of the waste energy-saving lamp, the concentration of mercury in the ambient air can be seriously exceeded. Once in the body, it can damage the human central nervous system.

Some industry experts believe that with the gradual disappearance of incandescent lamps, the annual consumption of energy-saving lamps in China can reach more than 1 billion. Although technology has progressed in recent years, problems such as mercury pollution in energy-saving lamps have been greatly reduced. However, in view of the early production of energy-saving lamps, many products because of the relatively backward process technology, mercury pollution and other issues are more prominent. Considering that the life span of the first batch of energy-saving lamps is generally 3 years, according to this judgment, the 100 million energy-saving lamps listed in the first batch of financial subsidy promotion are entering the centralized retirement period. If improperly handled, the risk of contamination cannot be ignored.
