As　the　biggest　generator　and　consumer　of　household　electrical　and　electronic　equipment　(EEE)　in　the　world,　China　generates　a　large　amount　of　printed　circuit　board　(PCB)　resin　waste　during　the　production　and　scrap　disposal　processes　of　household　EEE　each　year,　yet　the　precise　estimation　of　the　PCB　resin　waste　generation　in　China　is　still　to　be　determined.　In　this　paper,　the　stock-based　model　is　applied　to　forecast　the　future　generation　and　sources　of　PCB　resin　waste　in　China.　Eight　major　types　of　EEE　are　included　to　calculate　the　generation　of　PCB　resin　waste　from　1998　to　2035.　Results　show　that　there　will　be　more　than　19.67　billion　EEE　scrapped　during　the　research　period,　and　about　12.97-13.43　million　tonnes　of　PCB　resin　waste　will　generated　from　the　production　and　scrap　disposal　processes　of　EEE.　Waste　air　conditioner,　TV　set,　and　washing　machine　are　the　major　contributors　of　PCB　resin　waste.　At　least　568.27　thousand　tonnes　of　PCB　resin　waste　will　be　produced　in　2035,　accompanied　by　over　231.09　thousand　tonnes　copper　and　333.55　tonnes　gold.　It　is　also　found　that　the　generation　of　PCB　resin　waste　is　affected　by　lifestyle,　technological　level　and　population　policy.　This　study　provides　a　reliable　tool　to　predict　the　generation　of　PCB　resin　waste　and　other　waste　generated　from　WEEE,　and　offers　suggestions　for　policy　design　on　waste　management.　(C)　2020　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
