During this year's two sessions, the government work report pointed out that in 2024, the government's work task should focus on expanding domestic demand, promoting a virtuous cycle of the economy, and encouraging and promoting the exchange of old for new consumer goods. Furniture and household appliances are all durable consumer goods, and there is a great demand and potential for updates and upgrades. If you replace your home with new furniture and household appliances, how can you handle the old ones? If you want to use them, you will have to deal with them. If you want to replace them with new ones, you will have to deal with them
What are the problems faced by "exchanging old for new"?
Currently, household appliance and furniture recycling
Mainly focused on offline and mobile recycling
Recycling and reuse is crucial as a front-end support for trade in. At the recycling end, consumers in China still mainly rely on offline recycling stations and mobile recycling points. Qingdao resident Wang Hongju told reporters that she lives in an old residential area and used to look for mobile waste collectors.
Qingdao resident Wang Hongju: It's very troublesome to have to drag it over by oneself, and there's also personal recycling. We don't know much about those people, so we called them to come and collect it. There are some concerns about safety.
The small recycling stations located near the community are mainly scattered old goods. On the one hand, the sources of recycled goods are unstable, and on the other hand, some waste and pollution caused by private demolition also urgently need to be solved.
Difficulty in moving and handling old furniture
Low recycling added value
The replacement of large furniture faces problems such as difficulty in transportation, handling, and low added value in recycling. The reporter found that many consumers' furniture "trade in" issues are stuck in the processing of old furniture.
Ms. Chen, a resident: Sometimes when I want to replace my furniture, I just have to deal with the bed and sofa at home, which is too troublesome, so I keep dragging on and not replacing them.
Mr. Jin, a resident: The main reason is that it is inconvenient to find people, the furniture is too large, and the property management company is unable to help with handling it. Looking for some companies, the fee standards are also uncertain.
Zhu Mingxing, the person in charge of the furniture recycling company: Our fee structure mainly consists of three parts: one is the labor handling fee and dismantling fee, the other is the transportation fee, and the other is the garbage fee. For example, for a 1.8-meter bed, we charge around 200 yuan. Like different regions, due to differences in transportation and labor costs, prices may vary.
The second-hand furniture market needs to build a one-stop platform
Zhu Mingxing said that there are also some high-quality and branded furniture that they will pay users fees and then send these furniture to the second-hand market for resale. During a visit by reporters, it was found that solid wood products with a certain collectible price range in the market, such as the two evil spirits of the monkey and the spring, are popular Ф Urgently speaking of Jing, I apologize for the sudden change in my profession. Qu Yanzong, R Huai Xue, my face card leaps and turns, I bow and fold, I protect myself from locusts, and my Huai Xue wall, hole, and mirror are chiseled У Animal Husbandry α The payment source is male, the frog is Australian, and the water is high
Tu Qi, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Furniture Association: We may need to establish a platform link that can leverage some leading companies in our industry and create a platform for the full industry chain recycling of the Internet of Things.
