Beijing enforces garbage sorting, sets up punishment mechanism and conducts pilot projects
Xinhua News Agency Beijing April 3 New media special cable (reporter Guan Guifeng business Yi Ying) recently, the "implementation plan of household waste classification system" was released. China will implement mandatory household waste classification in 46 cities by the end of 2020, and the recycling rate of household waste in China will reach more than 35% by then, the head of relevant departments said on March 31.
As early as 17 years ago, China took the lead in launching a pilot program of "municipal waste classification" in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou. However, the effect of garbage sorting is not satisfactory. Garbage classification seems to be a small matter, but it is related to the overall situation of ecological civilization construction. Now a battle of household garbage classification has begun. In Beijing, party and government organs, public institutions, management units of public places, catering enterprises, farmers' markets, etc., must be forced to carry out garbage classification and promote waste reduction. The Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management will strengthen the evaluation and assessment of garbage classification, explore the establishment of a disciplinary mechanism of "no sorting, no collection" of garbage and carry out trials.
Tongzhou district in Beijing to take the lead in compulsory classification of kitchen waste, "a napkin, a toothpick, a chopstick, can not be mixed into the wet garbage. Otherwise, a bag of garbage will not be collected." "Said Wang Liang, head of a restaurant in Songzhuang town, Tongzhou district.
Beijing has promoted the model of two garbage cans, one large and one small, in some residential areas, advocating that residents use the way of "dry and wet separation" to classify. By the end of this year, at least one street in every district will have garbage sorting, and at least one community in every street will have garbage sorting. "In the past, garbage classification was promoted by community, which was one point at a time; Now not only communities, but also shopping malls and agencies have to implement garbage classification, turning the points into lines, and the lines are connected into pieces." Said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management.
In order to achieve waste reduction, while solving the problem of kitchen waste, we should also pay attention to the use of recyclable garbage. In terms of resource recycling, it is often the garbage collection army and recycling companies in the collection, in the current situation of the shrinking demand for commodities, the price of major renewable resources overall decline, the implementation of garbage classification and resource recovery of the integration of the two networks, to carry out low-value recyclables classification and recycling and resource utilization of the government can be said to be duty-free.
Lin Jinwen, director of the solid waste Department of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management, said that the integration of the two networks is to wedge the recycling network of renewable resources into the garbage collection and transportation network of the sanitation system. Usually, the government buys the service, chooses the same operating body to undertake the work of environmental sanitation and transportation, resource recycling and processing, and provides the government with a package solution for China's waste. And this main body can be either the back-end extension of the sanitation enterprise, or the cross-border transformation of the traditional renewable resources enterprise.
Early in the morning, Wang Xin, who lives in Fangzhuang district of Beijing, collected seven or eight plastic beverage bottles and a bundle of old newspapers, wrapped them in plastic bags, tied them, and attached a two-dimensional code label to each plastic bag, and then put the garbage into two large tin boxes. "Now it's more cost-effective to dump the old newspapers here than to sell them. You can get points and redeem them for calling cards." Wang Xin said.
According to Zhao Nan, deputy general manager of microenvironment company of Beijing Environmental Sanitation Group, Fangzhuang area alone can recycle about 9 tons of various paper classes, over 6 tons of plastics and about 4 tons of fabrics every month through intelligent recycling.
"At present, the community that does a good job in garbage classification basically relies on the property consciousness and the cleaner in the community to carry out secondary classification, but in fact, such a practice can only cope with the assessment and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause." Cao Mengqi, chief of the classification guidance Section of Hangzhou City Environmental Health Supervision Center in Zhejiang Province, said that the garbage classification work is implemented to the individual residents, and the grassroots publicity, guidance and supervision forces are indispensable.
Garbage classification is a comprehensive system project of the whole society, and the whole society must make joint efforts from the government, enterprises, families, individuals and other levels. Yang Jianhua, director of the Research center of Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, said that it takes a long period of time to change residents' awareness and form habits, so it is necessary to constantly form good group living habits through supervision and subtle influence. Property properties are encouraged to play their role in promoting garbage classification, while disciplinary mechanisms are explored, Sun said.
