China single appliances approach

Alternative Approach The Single Appliances Approach for China. 326... 

The starting point in the single appliance approach is to determine the amount of the target devices that reach China every year. In previous sections data from Zoeteman et al. [1] have been used as a basis for the definition of the global e-waste flow in China. However, for the single appliances approach more specific information on the entering flow of e-waste appliances in China has been found in a report developed by Yang et al. [23]. Therefore, this document has been taken as the basis of the present section. 

Furthermore, the categories approach for the global SFA in China does not define the predicted environmental whereas in the single appliances one, some assumptions have been had to be done in order to provide an emission value into these environmental compartments. In addition, as aforementioned the single appliances approach takes into account that the total amount of the additive present in the device reaches the predicted environmental compartment when a TC is unknown.
