The clear understanding of characteristics and trends of solid waste generation is essential for the optimization of waste collection and treatment systems. Taking 651 cities in China as a sample, this study adopts correlation analysis and the Q-type clustering model to explore the characteristics and general trends of solid waste
This study reviewed the past and present municipal solid waste management (MSWM) status in China and makes a comparison of MSWM in china
As solid waste management in China has experienced a complete process from lack of funds, non-standard management to policy improvement, and gradually realizing reduction and utilization (Xie, 2020), the experiences and problems of China''s exploration can provide references for other developing countries. This study
In China, environmental pollution due to municipal solid waste (MSW) over-generation is one of the country''s priority concerns. The increasing volume and complexity of the waste poses serious
Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in China warrants particular attention as China has become the largest MSW generator in the world and the total amount of MSW it produces continues to increase. In recent years, central and local governments have made great efforts to improve MSWM in China. New regulations and policies have
The major legislation in China for solid waste management are the Waste Disposal Act and Resource Recycling Act. The latter aims to conserve natural
As the third pillar in its new waste management strategy, China is increasingly shifting its waste disposal focus from landfilling to waste incineration. Thirteenth Five-Year Plan'' from December 2016 for the Construction of Facilities for Harmless Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste, China targets to have >50% of MSW
China is facing the dual challenge of economic development and environment protection. Recently, Shanghai (tier-1 city) implemented the pilot project of household solid waste (HSW) management and expects to execute a similar project in 45 cities across China by 2020. The current research''s aim is to examine the pilot project''s
This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive review of rural solid waste (RSW) in terms of characteristics, management and legislation. Survey results show that RSW generation rates range from 0.25 to 2.1 kg ∙(capita∙d)−1 in different rural villages across regions of China. Total RSW generation has been increasing, which is far higher than
Municipal Solid Waste Management and Treatment in China. is targeted to reach over 95% in cities, 80% in counties, and 70% in towns (National Development and. Reform Commission, 2016). The
It is recognized that effective municipal solid waste (MSW) management in China is very necessary to solve problems caused by the large generation and accumulation of wastes. According to the Chinese national 12th five-year-plan on urban MSW harmless disposal facilities construction planning [6],
Municipal Solid Waste Management and Treatment in China. is targeted to reach over 95% in cities, 80% in counties, and 70% in towns (National Development and. Reform Commission, 2016). The
Abstract. A life cycle assessment was carried out to estimate the environmental impact of municipal solid waste. Four scenarios mostly used in China were compared to assess the influence of various technologies on environment: (1) landfill, (2) incineration, (3) composting plus landfill, and (4) composting plus incineration.
Law of the People''s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste was passed in 1995 (newly revised in 2020),
An increasingly serious consequence of China''s rapid industrialization is the generation of solid waste. As household living standards in rural China have improved, rural solid waste (RSW) generation has increased rapidly [] 2010, the total annual quantity of waste from rural areas in China reached about 234 million kg per year,
Spatial and temporal evolution and driving factors of county solid waste harmless disposal capacity in China. Currently, China mainly adopts the waste treatment model of "household sorting, village collection, town transfer and county disposal.". Determining the spatial and temporal distribution of China''s.
Poor public health is always associated with the mismanagement of municipal solid waste (MSW). Many cities are besieged by MSW in the world. It is essential to do a good job in MSW management (MSWM). In order to improve the efficiency of MSWM, the Chinese government has intensively implemented relevant policies. There
1. Introduction. While rapidly promoting new urbanization, the solid waste problem in China has become increasingly challenging. According to statistics, the country adds more than 10 billion tons of solid waste annually, with a historical dump of 60 to 70 billion tons (Zhang, 2019), which not only plunges cities with the "garbage siege" dilemma
The results showed that a total of 1.636 million tons of solid waste was recycled by the recycling sites in Beijing in 2013, with 79% (1.292 t) of the waste coming from urban households. The recycling rate of urban household waste was 72%. The quantities of solid waste collected by different recyclers are shown in Fig. 3.

Municipal SolidWaste (MSW) management in China has been transitioning from a mixed collection and treatment system to a separated collection and treatment system. The continuous rise of MSW treatment capacity and the optimization of technology structure provided basic facility support for China to promote MSW
Abstract. This paper presents an examination of MSW generation and composition in China, providing an overview of the current state of MSW management,
A review of China''s municipal solid waste (MSW) and comparison with international regions: Management and technologies in treatment and resource
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management and recycling has become an emerging issue in developing countries. Shanghai, the largest megacity in China, is well-known nationwide due to leading China''s MSW separation and recycling. Therefore, this paper introduces the Shanghai mode for MSW management and its current situation to
SUBSCRIBE TO EMAIL ALERTS. Daily Updates of the Latest Projects & Documents. China recently surpassed the U.S. as the world''s largest municipal solid waste (MSW) generator. In 2004 the urban areas of China generated about 190,000,000 tons of MSW .
