Don't underestimate those broken old appliances, but there are a lot of "treasure" hidden inside. There are many precious metals and renewable resources in old appliances, such as copper, aluminum, gold, etc., and these materials have considerable economic value if reused.
An old refrigerator you threw away may have hundreds of dollars of metal that hasn't been used yet. In terms of environmental protection, the importance of recycling old household appliances to environmental protection is self-evident. Household appliances are typical electronic wastes, which contain a lot of harmful substances. If not properly treated, this waste can contaminate soil, air and water, causing serious environmental pollution. If it can be recycled through formal channels, resources can be effectively used and pollution can be controlled. Finally, there is the policy dividend. In recent years, the state's emphasis on environmental protection policies has continued to increase, especially in the context of the "double carbon" goal, corporate environmental responsibility is becoming more and more heavy.

The recycling of household appliances fits in with this policy direction. The state also encourages enterprises to develop environmental protection recycling industry, and even introduced some subsidies and preferential policies for this purpose. For enterprises, seizing the recycling market is not only for economic benefits, but also to "earn policy points". Therefore, from the economic benefits of resource recycling, environmental responsibility to policy promotion, home appliance recycling has become a new profit growth point for giants, which is also the core logic of capital optimism and influx into this industry.
