China has historically been one of the largest importers of e-waste from other countries for processing. This influx of electronic waste is primarily due to its extensive recycling industries that extract valuable materials. However, in recent years, China has implemented stricter regulations on e-waste imports to combat environmental pollution and improve public health. As a result, the flow of e-waste into China has decreased, prompting some waste to be redirected to other countries.
