As Chinese consumers take advantage of the government's trade-in subsidies to replace old home appliances, the need for proper, large-scale recycling is on the rise. In response, leading appliances maker TCL Corp. broke ground for a large-scale appliance recycling facility in Tianjin.
The facility, jointly owned by TCL Huizhou Environmental Protection Co., Tianjin Borg Metal Products Co. Ltd., and Tianjin Ziya Environmental Protection Industry Park Co. Ltd., will have the annual capacity to break down 100,000 tons of home appliances, once the first phase construction is completed.
Tianjin Borg has its own plastics recycling business unit.
