A Discussion on the Priority Areas for MSW Classification Recycling

Abstract:

The problem of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been a serious threat to the health of residents and the ecological environment of city. Waste classification can maximize waste resource utilization, reduce the amount of garbage disposal, improve the quality of the living environment, and is the fundamental solution to the problem of "garbage siege" phenomenon. However, over the years, our country MSW classification recycling work remains stagnant. It is proposed that the classification recycling of MSW in China can choose the clearest, simplest and most harmful areas, start from the household appliances, electronic waste, vegetable waste, packaging and kitchen waste recycling, to recycle social resources effectively and realize the sustainable development of city.
