The company has obtained the WEEE Processing License (No. E1310261) issued by the Langfang Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau, valid from January 9, 2025 to January 8, 2027, with approved categories and capacity of: 400,000 LCD microcomputers/year, 10 million mobile communication handsets/year, 1.5 million single-line telephones/year, and 600,000 LCD monitors/year, totaling 12.5 million units/year (15,500 tons/year).

What This License Is

The WEEE Processing License is the access credential under the regulations on the administration of the recovery and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Dismantling and processing without it constitutes illegal operation; only categories such as the "four machines, one brain" dismantled by licensed enterprises can enter the fund subsidy scheme and compliant dismantling statistics.

The license grants processing capacity by category, and dismantling beyond the approved categories is likewise non-compliant. That is why the license lists per-category caps such as "400,000 LCD microcomputers per year" item by item, rather than a single total.

Composition of the Approved Capacity

  • LCD microcomputers: 400,000 units/year
  • Mobile communication handsets: 10 million units/year
  • Single-line telephones: 1.5 million units/year
  • LCD monitors: 600,000 units/year
  • Total: 12.5 million units/year, equivalent to 15,500 tons/year by weight

Handsets account for nearly 80%, consistent with their light per-unit weight and high volumes. The dual listing in "million units/year" and "10,000 tons/year" serves both quantity statistics and tonnage calculations for transport and warehousing.

Relation to Other Credentials

The processing license answers "can it be dismantled," but the waste circuit boards generated by dismantling are hazardous waste, which also requires a Hazardous Waste Operation Permit (No. 1310250101, approved for the collection, storage, and utilization of HW49 waste circuit boards); destroying classified media additionally requires designation as a classified media destruction unit by the State Secrets Protection Administration and the Grade-II Confidentiality Qualification for the Defense Industry. Only with all three credentials combined does the company hold complete disposal capability from ordinary e-waste to classified equipment.

How Clients Can Verify

License number E1310261 can be cross-checked against the public information of the local ecology and environment authority. The company's "Official Publications" webpage lists the interim directory announcement of electronic waste dismantling and disposal units, the list of licensed enterprises, and the acceptance notices and approval announcements for changes to the processing license, all with links to the original issuing authorities.

One reminder: verification should check all three of "license number," "validity period," and "approved categories." Seeing only a photo of the license while the categories do not match still constitutes out-of-scope processing.

FAQ

Q: How long is the WEEE Processing License valid?
A: This license is valid from January 9, 2025 to January 8, 2027 and must be renewed as required upon expiry; clients should confirm the license is current before commissioning.

Q: What happens if e-waste is dismantled without a license?
A: It constitutes illegal operation; the ecology and environment authority will order correction and impose fines. Where hazardous waste is involved, under the Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law fines range from 1 million to 5 million yuan, and the business may be ordered to suspend or close.

Q: Does the WEEE Processing License cover classified media destruction?
A: No. Classified media destruction requires designation as a classified media destruction unit by the State Secrets Protection Administration and the Grade-II Confidentiality Qualification for the Defense Industry; an ordinary processing license does not confer classified destruction eligibility.
