Establish a garbage classification and marking system
The “Rulings” make it clear that by the end of 2020, the municipalities directly dependent on the Central Government, the provincial capitals, the cities with separate plans and the first batch of demonstration cities for the classification of household waste will strive to achieve coverage basically complete of the classification and collection of household waste, the classification transportation system has basically been completed, and the classification processing capacity has been significantly improved. . Strive to use another five years or so, and cities at the prefecture level and above will basically establish a system for classified disposal, classified collection, classified transportation and classified treatment of household waste according to local conditions.
At the press conference on December 4, Liu Lifeng, deputy director of the Urban Construction Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, presented that China’s household waste sorting has advanced in stages. Municipalities, provincial capitals, cities under separate planning and the first batch of pilot cities for waste classification The classification of household waste in 46 key cities covers more than 77 million households and the coverage rate of residential areas is of the 86.6%. Sorting of household waste in other cities at the prefecture level has been fully launched. With the exception of 46 key cities, all other cities at the prefectural level and above have formulated implementation plans and fully started sorting of household waste.
A good garbage classification must start at the source. The “Rulings” proposed to promote the establishment of a garbage classification and marking system, and gradually to place eye-catching garbage classification signs on the packaging of products.
In an interview with the “Daily Economic News” reporter, Ma Jun analyzed that judging by the practice of our country, a prominent feature is the finest classification of garbage. Therefore, for the public, a major difficulty at this stage is whether they can master sufficient knowledge of garbage classification. If the identification of garbage classification can be written directly on the product or product packaging, it will be convenient for the public to understand the knowledge of garbage classification and carry out garbage classification more conveniently.
The reporter noted that on the Internet, there are also many discussions and suggestions about “setting garbage classification marks on product packaging.”
For example, in “I’m talking to the prime minister” on the Chinese government website, some netizens expressed hope that the relevant departments will optimize the relevant management regulations. It is recommended that companies lay down each layer of packaging while producing products. Use words or symbols to indicate the appropriate garbage classification category so that the public can quickly distinguish it and eliminate it accurately when classifying and disposing of garbage.
At a remote connection network political discussion event in Shandong province in January this year, some representatives of the masses also suggested: All kinds of companies should indicate “recyclable garbage” and “non-recyclable garbage” or indicate which belong to What kind of garbage classification.
In fact, some companies have already launched attempts in this area.
According to the “Hangzhou Daily” report, in June 2019, a Hangzhou tea company already launched the latest tea package. A garbage classification “identity card” is hung on the packing box, clearly stating that the outer packing box of the tea should be thrown into the blue “recyclables” trash can, and the drunk tea waste is thrown away green kitchen trash can
Carry out pilot projects for the safe treatment of garbage
While a good job of sorting garbage is done, the back-end processing work is also very important.
The “Opinions” make it clear that the construction of facilities for the classification and treatment of household waste must be accelerated. Scientifically estimate the level of local household waste production, and according to the principle of moderate advance, accelerate the construction of household waste incineration facilities, compensate for the deficiencies of kitchen waste and hazardous waste treatment facilities, and lead carry out a pilot market model for the treatment of safe waste.
Reasonably organize domestic waste incineration and fly ash disposal facilities. Promote the construction of industrial parks for the treatment of domestic waste and bases for recycling resources, optimize technical processes and coordinate the treatment of different types of household waste. Classified hazardous waste and household waste collection is classified as hazardous waste and will be managed strictly as hazardous waste.
In addition, the “Opinions” also clarified that local population governments at the county level or above must establish a system of fees for disposal of household garbage in accordance with the principle that the generator pays. The establishment of charging standards for the treatment of household waste should be based on local conditions, combined with the classification of household waste, and reflect differentiated management, such as classified fees and metering fees, and fully solicit public input.
