The development trend of solid waste treatment in China
Release time：2025 / 12 / 28
The treatment of solid waste in our country is a global issue, and the construction of a solid waste industry ecosystem is the most effective way to solve solid waste. But how to build a solid waste industrial ecosystem? At present, China's solid waste, especially household waste, is still in the zero foundation stage. Although the government has taken many measures to encourage people to protect the environment, the effect is not significant. The current situation is that people uniformly discard different types of garbage, and then the garbage dump only performs rough classification to burn or bury these wastes. This certainly cannot handle garbage well. Garbage classification, transportation, resource utilization, and other aspects are all important. The core of solving the problem of solid objects is resource utilization. Therefore, the first thing to consider is to improve resource utilization, utilize the effective circular economy model of resource product application waste resource, and maximize the use of resources to achieve sustainable development.
The development trend of solid waste treatment in China
（1） Reduce the total amount of solid waste
The solid waste treatment technology in China is still in the development stage, mainly due to the late start of waste treatment technology in our country. With the rapid development of the world, the generation rate of solid waste is getting faster and faster. According to the national survey of pollution resources, a total of 153 million tons of garbage have been landfilled in China, accounting for 90.5% of the total garbage. 375 million cubic meters of garbage have been landfilled in harmless landfills, accounting for 20.9% of the total garbage. The total amount of solid waste is constantly increasing, but the solutions we can find are not good enough. Increasing research efforts, handling solid waste, and reducing the total amount of solid waste are prerequisites for protecting the environment.
（2） Reduce or even eliminate pollutants
The purpose of garbage disposal is to solve environmental pollution problems, but it is meaningless to destroy the environment for the sake of garbage disposal. For example, hydroxides, heavy metals, and so on. In fact, no problem has been solved. On the contrary, secondary pollution poses a greater threat to the environment. So, solving the secondary pollution of immortality under various processes is a problem we have to face.
（3） Recycling and reuse technology
Resource based recycling is the goal of development, and sustainable development is the eternal pursuit of humanity. Therefore, human development ultimately boils down to the reuse of resources, and the reuse of waste is the true essence of sustainable development. Realize economic benefits and alleviate environmental pressure.
（4） Diversified processing technology
The treatment of solid waste is a complex process. Various types of garbage are combined together, with complex components that are difficult to distinguish, which is why a perfect solution cannot be found. Targeted treatment of solid waste and maximum utilization of resources inevitably require important technical support.
