Abstract	China authorities have strived to solve e-waste problems from technical aspects and management policy aspects. This paper mainly introduces current status in quo, analyzes the material flow of waste electric & electronic equipments and recycling technologies briefly and focuses on relevant e-waste management polices which have been issued recently. Investigation results show that currently most of waste electric and electronic equipments flow from developed districts to urban districts because of development imbalance and the effective generation amount of e-waste is relatively lower. The current systems of waste electric & electronic equipments have been established by the profit driven and market supply and demand situation and made against e-waste collection and recycling and resulted serious environmental pollution. The new-issued e-waste management polices such as management methods for the control of pollution from electrical and electronic products, management regulations on recycling and disposal of waste and used household electrical appliances, administrative measures for the prevention and control of environmental pollution by electronic waste will play active actions to promote electronic products eco-design, standardize waste electric and electronic equipments collection and prevent environmental pollution during disassembly and recycling of E-waste.
