Beijing, May 25 /Xin Hua/ — The Chinese government has set a goal to increase the household waste recycling rate in cities across the country to more than 76 percent by the end of 2030, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC reported on Monday.
The statement was made at a working meeting of the above-mentioned ministry on the occasion of the fourth national week of propaganda sorting of household waste in the city, which will last from May 25 to 31.
This year, the ministry will continue working towards achieving key objectives: sorting and reducing the volumes of waste, rational use, and recycling of waste. At the same time, there is ongoing improvement of the state measures system and strengthening of secondary raw material management. These measures are aimed at increasing the level of waste recycling, which, in turn, will contribute to the high-quality development of cities and the building of a “Beautiful China,” the official representative of the ministry reported.
According to him, over the past decade the ministry has achieved sustainable progress in the field of sorting waste through the implementation of pilot programs and demonstration models.
Currently, almost all neighborhoods in 297 cities of regional significance and above are regulated by zoning regulations. In the specified cities, a total of 199 local normative acts or regulations on zoning were adopted, and more than 100 technical standards were also promulgated.
According to the ministry, by the end of last year, there were 1,137 waste incineration enterprises in the country, whose combined daily capacity reached 1.18 million tons. Notably, in 15 provincial-level units of China, including Beijing, Zhejiang, and Shandong, the disposal of primary household waste has been completely stopped. These regions have reached an advanced global level in controlling emissions of major pollutants. -0-
