Abstract

With the continuous development of China’s social economy, people’s living standard and consumption level are constantly improving, and the number of waste electrical appliances and electronic products is also growing rapidly. In addition, the replacement cycle of electronic products is getting shorter, which will undoubtedly make the number of discarded electronic products increase fast. These products, if not properly handled, will seriously pollute the environment and harm human health. However, in China, due to the immaturity of the market mechanism of policy environment, the recycling and disposal of waste electrical and electronic products has always been a big problem troubling the society. Most of the discarded electronic products are put into the second-hand market through simple assembly or renovation by small vendors and other channels [1]. These electronic products beyond their service life bring a lot of safety risks to people. These illegal recycling and dismantling enterprises only pay attention to the high value parts of the waste electronic products, and for those parts with low economic value or toxic or harmful, they just burn them or throw them away. Therefore, China’s imperfect electronic product recycling system makes operation and management of formal enterprise become the key point. As a start-up of electronic equipment recycling enterprise, one should equip himself with the characteristics of a successful entrepreneur, plan the direction of operation and management, and understand the prospect of the market. This paper use the questionnaire as the methodology to explore what characteristics are essential for an entrepreneur. Also this paper makes sure that the prospect of electronic devices recycling industry is optimism.
