Several countries have implemented successful waste sorting and recycling systems, with Finland being a notable example, recycling 99% of its municipal solid waste, with only 1% of waste ending up in landfills.

Finland's waste management system is automated and produces minimal environmental pollution, using a waste sorting system with sensors and pneumatic pipes.

The country aims to recycle 80% of its plastic waste, with 95% of plastic waste being processed at a plant in Riihimäki.

Sweden has also implemented a successful waste management system, with a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2020, and has advanced waste-to-energy plants.

Japan has a well-developed "pay-as-you-throw" waste management system, which charges residents by the amount of waste they generate, with a recycling rate of around 20%.

The government plays a crucial role in promoting and implementing waste sorting and recycling practices, with countries such as Russia, Egypt, and Taiwan providing investments, subsidies, and credit guarantees to support the development of waste management infrastructure.

Education and community engagement are essential for the success of waste sorting and recycling systems, with public awareness and participation being critical for behavioral change.

The use of key performance indicators (KPIs) is necessary to monitor progress and make data-driven decisions to improve waste sorting and recycling practices.

The implementation of a waste sorting and recycling system can have significant environmental benefits, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the conservation of natural resources, and the reduction of pollution.

The cost of implementing a waste sorting and recycling system can vary widely, with estimates ranging from £150 million for a garbage recycling plant [4] to £1 billion for a comprehensive waste system.

Government policies and regulations play a crucial role in promoting and implementing waste sorting and recycling systems, with countries such as China, Russia, and Japan implementing laws and regulations to enforce waste separation and recycling.

International cooperation and funding are necessary for the successful implementation of waste sorting and recycling systems, with countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, and Taiwan receiving funding and support from international organizations.

The experience of countries and regions that have successfully implemented waste sorting and recycling systems can provide valuable lessons for other countries and regions that are seeking to implement similar systems.

Education from an early age is most effective in promoting recycling and can improve environmental awareness in people under 18.

Public education and policy changes are key drivers of behavioral change in waste sorting and recycling.

The role of government is critical in promoting and implementing waste sorting and recycling practices, through the provision of funding, the establishment of policies and regulations, and the education of the public.

The implementation of a waste sorting and recycling system can have a number of benefits, including the reduction of waste disposal costs, the promotion of environmental literacy, and the creation of jobs and economic opportunities.

Several countries have implemented successful waste sorting and recycling systems, with Finland being a notable example, recycling 99% of its municipal solid waste, with only 1% of waste ending up in landfills.

Content: Ukraine will deepen cooperation with Finland in the direction of household waste management.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Regional Development, this was announced by the Minister of Communities and Territories Alexey Chernyshov during a meeting with the Ambassador of the Republic of Finland to Ukraine Päivi Laine.
It is noted that in Finland, only 1% of waste ends up in landfills, the vast majority is recycled.
This is the result of the interaction of the central and local authorities, as well as the awareness of citizens
Ukraine is also planning to adopt this experience.
“Finland is a country that demonstrates high standards of environmental waste management.
Almost all the citizens of this country sort the garbage.
As a result, 99% of household waste is recycled.
This experience will be useful for Ukraine.
So, a similar process is already underway in hromadas - in 1725 settlements of our state, a separate collection of household waste has been introduced.
But it is necessary to scale this direction and introduce useful practices of international partners in the country, "Chernyshov said.

In turn, Laine noted that Finland is ready to share experience and help Ukrainian communities to implement waste processing projects.
“We also have companies that recycle waste into energy.
In such a comprehensive way, we improve the ecology of our country, ” she added.
Waste recycling in Ukraine
As UNIAN reported, in July 2020, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted in the first reading the draft law No. 2207-1-d “On waste management ”.
The document establishes the procedure for the collection, removal and treatment of waste, ensures the introduction of their separate collection and recycling, provides for the requirements for the quality of the provision of waste management services and the charging of fees for such a service.

Finland's waste management system is automated and produces minimal environmental pollution, using a waste sorting system with sensors and pneumatic pipes.

It took a little more than 20 years for Finland to almost completely abandon the landfill of solid municipal waste.
At the same time, giant landfills, even if they are closed, are not reclaimed here, in the Russian sense of the word, but turned into a source of income.
Currently, 99% of the country ’ s garbage is sorted and recycled.
Only 1% of the total amount of MSW produced has a chance to end up in a landfill.
One of the largest closed landfills is located in the satellite city of Helsinki – Espoo.
Its area is comparable to 280 football fields and is almost 200 hectares.
It is not surprising that after the closure, an industrial center was formed on its territory, in which enterprises for the generation of electricity and heat from landfill gas, as well as enterprises engaged in the processing of certain types of secondary raw materials (waste paper and glass) are concentrated.
In Ekpoo is the headquarters of the famous Finnish energy company Fortum.
It occupies a special place in the circular economy of waste.
In particular, it is engaged in the processing of plastic.
Up to 95% of the plastic in the waste generated by the Finns goes to its plant in another satellite city of Helsinki, Riihimäki.
Here, in automated production, plastic is sorted, cleaned, crushed and granulated.
According to experts, about 22 percent of all plastic waste is recycled in Finland.
The maximum percentage of plastic that can be recycled reaches about 80 percent, and they are striving to come to this figure in the coming years.
Non-recyclable plastic waste enters the furnace, where during combustion, heat is released, which, thanks to turbines and a water heating system, becomes electricity and hot water.
Containers without garbage trucks and five containers on chips
One often hears the astonished stories of relatives and friends living in St. Petersburg about how separate garbage collection is organized in Helsinki.
Visiting the Finnish capital in recent years has not been difficult.
Of course, a simple tourist is not up to landfills and thoughts about where and who takes waste, but there is something that will not remain without the attention of travelers.
A resident of St. Petersburg, Alexander often went on business trips to the capital of Finland, Helsinki.
He says that in some neighborhoods of the city there are containers that are not serviced by garbage trucks.
Our company for business trips often rented apartments, garbage from them had to be taken out by yourself.
You know, it is very unusual, not only to sort waste into five types (biomass, paper, mixed waste, cardboard and plastic), how much to understand that the containers are equipped with sensors that, when filled, report this to the waste control panel and the garbage is pumped out of the container via a pneumatic pipe, immediately getting to the recycling point.
Not everyone has access to such containers, but only residents of the microdistrict, since a special key-chip is needed to open it, - Alexander.
Such a waste sorting and collection system has been developed and implemented by the Finnish company Marimatic.
The technology is called MetroTaifun.
So far, it is only available in one suburb of the capital.
As its developers write, the entire system is automated, from each container its own pneumatic pipe delivers waste directly to the plant, where when raw materials arrive, its processing begins (additional sorting, grinding, pressing, etc.).
Perhaps, this will look like in the future the treatment of municipal waste in large megacities.
It's tomorrow's business.
What's today?
Large metropolis surrounded by recycling facilities
The peculiarity of the “garbage reform ” in Finland is that the country started it later than other European countries, so it could take advantage of other people ’ s experience and avoid mistakes.
The main thing on which the bet was made was to find ways to prevent waste from reaching landfills.
To do this, a separate collection of waste was introduced, which captured not only container sites and households, but also stores, as well as the manufacturers of goods themselves.
In cities, waste-free fast food and restaurants are not uncommon, hundreds of entrepreneurs find new niches for the use of secondary resources (for example, they produce fabrics from threads of previously used things), open second-hand and much more.
In almost every shopping center there are vending machines for receiving containers.
Around Helsinki, in its cities satellites built a network of sorting stations.
They specialize in certain types of waste.
All stations are located almost within the city limits.
Organic waste, which is usually the source of the garbage smell, is immediately taken to the plant for composting.
The whole process here is automated and produced in containers isolated from the environment.
Residents of neighboring high-rise buildings do not even think about what kind of object for sorting, recycling or recycling is located nearby.
The strict sanitary and environmental standards adopted in the country do not give any chance for environmental pollution.
Unsorted waste and so-called "tails" in the metropolitan area are taken to the incinerator in Vantaa.
There, the first incineration line was launched in 2014, the second in 2020.
The construction was not cheap - 300 million euros.
The plant is operated by Vantaan Energia.
Every day it receives up to 150 tons of waste.
According to the company on the website, the plant can burn up to 400 cubic meters of waste per second.
Every five seconds, he burns the annual volume of garbage produced by a Finnish family of three.
The German technology known as the Düsseldorf System is used here: the combustion temperature is about 1000 degrees Celsius, from the waste receiving bin it enters the rolls, where it is crushed and gradually lowered into the combustion chamber.
Thus, the filtration system eliminates harmful emissions.
Every year about 700 tons of various materials, mostly heavy metals, are extracted from flue gases and disposed of by Ekokem in Riihimäki (another suburb of Helsenki).
Slag is exported to the Emmassuo landfill, and gravel bottom slag is used in earthworks.
Now the company is testing a technology that allows the use of the ash formed.
The main difference from the German analogue - ignition is made by gas, not fuel oil.
The plant has built a bunker that allows you to store waste in reserve so that the technological process does not stop.
After all, the incinerator is also a thermal power plant, which produces 920 gigawatt hours of district heating per year, which is almost half of the needs of the city of Vantaa, and 600 gigawatt hours of electricity, which is 30% of the needs of Vantaa per year.
According to environmentalists, such production is more economical refers to resources, since fossil fuels are practically not used here.
The combined effect of producing such a volume of heat and electricity allows us to talk about a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 20%, compared with the fact that the TPP operated on traditional fuels.
The reasons for this success were commented by the co-chairman of the Green Shield environmental society, editor-in-chief of the Ural Meridian news agency Alexander Anikin.
The main distinguishing feature of Finnish reform is the correct emphasis.
Garbage was immediately considered as a source of energy.
Therefore, energy companies have joined the recycling process, which are used to being responsible for both the quality of services and environmental friendliness.
The tasks were immediately global - to sort and return to circulation secondary resources, as well as to prevent the simple storage of waste at landfills.
It is this approach that radically changed the industry, making it strategic from purely communal.
Innovation and technology can and should be adopted, as our northern neighbor does.
It ’ s also a lesson we need to learn.

A Swedish city has set up “sexy ” waste disposal bins with an audio player with the voice of a woman echoing phrases apparently in a state of“ extreme enthusiasm ”, The Times reported.
“Welcome to the Swedish city of Malmö, where the streets are clean because eroticism stimulates garbage collection. ”

Among the sounds that the voice player repeats in the garbage bins: "That was good," as well as other phrases.
Mary Pearson, of Malmö ’ s Roads Department, told a local Swedish newspaper: “The sentences spoken by the voice are part of the campaign ’ s intent to get more people to talk about the dirtiest thing that exists, garbage dumps, those things that end up in our streets, our squares and in the sea. ”
Pearson said the city wanted to encourage people to do the right thing "by making them laugh."
The boxes are located near the main pedestrian area of the southern city.
The woman who gave her voice was not identified, but officials said she was a "celebrity".
This marks the latest innovation in Sweden to clean streets, after the town of Sodertali said in February that it used crows to get rid of cigarette butts.
The cleaning company in the Swedish city said the birds could cut municipal cleaning expenses by 75%.
The researchers said crows can be taught to perform tasks because they have the intelligence of a 7-year-old human.
The city authority has started a pilot project with a startup to train crows to pick up cigarette butts and transfer them to a device that distributes food as a reward.
Given the risk of crows swallowing these butts, the project will assess the health impact of garbage collection.

Content: Waste Levy ｜ Japan has been a model for decades, Okinawa Hong Kong families share the key to success
Author: Law Baoxi
Published: Updated:
“I remember the first time we dropped garbage out of the streets in Japan, our family watched the whole process to see if our garbage was successfully handled, and finally the garbage truck was recycled. We clapped our hands, ” Oki-Family, a Hong Kong resident in Okinawa, told reporters.
Japan's waste levy and recycling has been implemented for many years, and the local domestic waste treatment, recycling and classification are very perfect, and recycling accounts for 20%.
It can be said that the relevant policies have long been integrated into the ordinary life of the Japanese people and become the local way of life.
If Hong Kong is about to introduce a waste levy, what can we learn from Japan?
This is part of the "Garbage Levy, How to Do It in a Foreign Country?" series.
Oki-Family, a family of three who have lived in Japan for eight years, now lives in Toyomi City, Okinawa Prefecture. The couple, Leung Sheng and Leung, recently shared with Hong Kong 01 the situation of local waste levies and recycling.
“There are many cities in Okinawa, and each city has its own system, so every time you move, you have to adapt and get used to it. ”
At present, our family mainly uses the largest garbage bag, which costs about 20 yen (more than HK $1.03) a.
The average monthly amount spent on waste collection and recycling is about 300 yen (over HK $16), "he said.
There are different waste management and recycling regulations in Japan. Levy standards vary from prefecture to city. According to Leung, Japan ’ s waste classification is much more complex than Hong Kong ’ s. It is divided into general waste, large waste and kitchen waste. newspaper and cardboard separately), etc.
For large garbage, such as mattresses and other items that cannot be placed in garbage bags, you need to purchase a sticker of about 300 yen (about HK $15.5) at a convenience store and paste it on the garbage that needs to be disposed of.
Other cities have the same treatment, but the amount may vary.
Oki-Family, a Hong Kong resident family in Okinawa, shared with reporters the complicated garbage sorting situation in Japan. (Provided by respondents)
Since most places implement self-paid waste levies, sorting and recycling has long been a “compulsory lesson ” for Japanese residents.
Every night, after dinner, their family will take the garbage outside the back door of the home, where a can be put on the garbage can; they also placed a large plastic box there to store the recycling garbage, such as fork batteries, glass bottles, soda cans, plastic bottles, etc., stored enough will be taken out.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, combustible waste is collected, soda cans are collected on Wednesdays, glass bottles and newspapers are collected on Saturdays.
Although the combustible waste contained in kitchen waste is collected only twice a week, there are few cases in the area where it stinks and affects environmental hygiene. “There are scents on the garbage cans in Japan that can suppress the smell, and I did try to have a slight effect, ” Leung explained.
And my own method is to put it outside the back door, because the position has been blowing for a long time, and it is almost impossible to smell without opening the lid. "
Over 70 years of off-the-shelf garbage sorting
In the 1950s, Japan entered a period of rapid economic growth, people's living standards have been significantly improved, and the amount of garbage has also increased sharply, and the phenomenon of littering can be seen everywhere, and environmental problems have become severe.
Later, the Japanese government took advantage of the opportunity of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games to launch a "capital beautification campaign" to awaken the people's awareness of environmental protection.
However, in the 1970s, local citizens protested the landfill site selection, and began to take actions to stop garbage trucks, and the protest lasted for eight years.
Until the 1980s, Japan began to carry out simple garbage sorting, and after decades of development, garbage sorting has become a standardized, systematic way of life.
As for the garbage levy scheme, Japan was introduced in the 1970s. In 2019, a total of 1,094 garbage charges were implemented in 1,741 cities, towns and villages across the country, with an implementation rate of 62.8%; among them, the urban rate was lower, only 56.2%.
However, Japan's domestic waste recycling is basically the responsibility of local governments, so different cities in the waste separation and treatment charges are not the same.
For example, in order to reduce and recycle the amount of garbage increasing year by year, local garbage is divided into five categories: "combustible garbage", "non-combustible garbage", "hazardous garbage", "resource garbage" and "large garbage". The first four categories have designated garbage bags, and large garbage has related "treatment coupons", which can be purchased at general convenience stores.
All kinds of paper (newspapers, magazines, cardboard, milk cartons) need to be tied into a cross shape with a paper rope.
All refuse should be disposed of by members of the public before 8.30 am on a specified date.
If the Government wants the public to follow suit, the most important thing is to make things convenient for them, and everything should be convenient.

Japan ’ s waste classification was first seen in the 1980s, and has developed over the decades to form a standardized and systematic way of life.

Fear of animals, care for neighbors, and...?
When she first arrived in Guijing, Liang Sheng said that she had long known that Japan had a policy of collecting and sorting garbage, so she was prepared psychologically.
When they first moved to Hong Kong to report to the local government department, they had received a relevant garbage instruction notice, "The average family will stick it in a prominent place, such as a refrigerator door or next to it, which is convenient to check when handling garbage daily."
After doing more, you will remember that you don ’ t have to look at it every time.
They added that the circular will also clearly state the arrangements for zoning, public holidays, special weather, special items, etc., which are basically very clear, and you can consult friends and neighbors if you do not understand.
They said that the charts provided by the authorities are detailed and clear, and it is not really difficult to follow them. "But the pictures may indicate that it is a certain type of garbage, but the details may indicate that some special circumstances will not be recycled."
The careful classification of this aspect, we still feel very troublesome at first. "
On the other hand, due to the different living environment and culture in Japan, there are other additional concerns about daily garbage disposal.
They remember the first time they dropped garbage out of the street, they heard friends say not to fall out of the street the night before, because there may be stray cats, crows and other garbage, there may be a chance to dirty the environment.
There is also garbage can not be taken out too early to remove, otherwise it may be scolded by neighbors. Liang Sheng Liang Tai admitted: "So in Japan, we have to be afraid of animals, we have to take care of our neighbors, and whether the garbage truck can finally be recycled after the garbage is sorted."
Japan is regarded as one of the most successful countries in the world in waste levying and recycling, winning in a zero-waste town. (Getty)
The best way to deal with batteries, soda cans and paper skins?
In addition, they also have to face the problem of garbage that can not be dropped.
They said: "The most troublesome is the battery, although some local appliance stores can recycle, but not all types, mainly the recycling of disposable batteries, but not the charging type.
In the end, they found information online, and learned that only a few electrical appliances stores in Naha can be recycled, but it is very inconvenient to drive to them, so they have been unable to abandon them for years, so they have to slowly store them at home and drive to a certain number of cars to deal with them.
What also makes them feel very annoying and very disturbing is the soda can and the paper skin. "In Hong Kong, these two kinds of waste are considered more valuable, and can be sold for a few pennies."
But in Japan, if you put a soda can in a plastic bag, they will not accept it, you have to buy a government-designated plastic bag.
They said: “The irony is that if you put it in a transparent plastic bag, there will be scavengers who will take it and sell it. ”
The Government will also appeal to households not to let waste pickers take them, as this is part of the income of waste collectors. "
Japanese newspapers and paper should be tied, even if only one piece, and tied with a paper rope, otherwise the workers will not recycle.
(Getty)
They continued: "From our point of view, why buy a plastic bag for garbage collectors, instead of having a plastic bag left in the home before, no more money to waste, and it is not better to help the environment and someone to recycle?"
"If the paper is put out, it will not be collected if it is not tied up, and if it is scattered, it will not be collected, but even if it is placed in a paper bag, they will say that it is not tied up."
Even if it is not a piece of paper, it will not be taken, and every time I hear it, it is very important. "
Keyword Success: Convenient
Although there are no penalties for garbage disposal in Japan, if garbage is not handled in accordance with the relevant guidelines, the relevant departments will not recycle the household's garbage and will indicate what is wrong on the household's garbage.
They said, "Not recycling is already a punishment, because you have to find a place to put this waste for another week."
However, they stressed, "Although the levies and recycling of local refuse may cause some inconvenience and trouble in daily life, environmental protection will be a blessing to the public if the Government is really able to do enough in handling waste from the environmental point of view."
After years of living in Japan, Oki-Family believes that the work of collecting and recycling waste is successful: “The most important thing is the education of the whole nation. They are supported by the government, businesses, and many large circles. ” Convenient."
Education is equally important, Mrs Leung added: “To make people feel that recycling from their urine is something they need to do and is part of their lives.
Naturally, more and more people will accept this. ” For example, their daughters will be taught classification from kindergarten, and simulation learning, teaching how to classify things, slowly making sorting garbage their instinct.
Liang Sheng-Liang of Oki-Family, a Japanese Hong Kong family, stressed that the policy focus is to enable every household to be hygienic when handling garbage, because the relevant garbage levy and recycling involve more than the purchase of plastic bags.
(courtesy of interviewees)
It's not about plastic bags. It's about hygiene.
On Hong Kong ’ s imminent introduction of a waste levy, Mrs Leung said: “The biggest resistance is that the Hong Kong government is too weak at present, and even if they do well or not, the public may not like it. ”
The second is the habit of the public, who stressed the need for the government to give the public a sufficient period of adaptation.
They cited Japan ’ s policy as an example. “The Japanese authorities generally give a relatively long period of adaptation, for example, we will later change to electronic signatures, and the government will give the public two years to get used to it. The transition period in Hong Kong may be relatively short in years. ”
Garbage levy is actually a big thing, including the promotion of education, the awareness of the public is very important, if they lack awareness, they will not follow suit.
But this is a work that takes a long time to do, and it is not possible to do it in a moment or three.
They believe that the Hong Kong government should provide some further information, such as tips, such as how to dispose of garbage at home will be more hygienic and save space, so that the public can understand the specific situation facing the actual operation.
In addition, it can also provide various types of garbage disposal equipment on the market, such as deodorants and scents that can be attached to garbage cans of various sizes.
Finally, they reiterate, “It ’ s important for every household to be hygienic when it comes to waste levies and recycling, which involves more than just buying plastic bags. ”
This may also be one of the reasons why many people are dissatisfied or worried about the proposed waste levy. "

The government plays a crucial role in promoting and implementing waste sorting and recycling practices, with countries such as Russia, Egypt, and Taiwan providing investments, subsidies, and credit guarantees to support the development of waste management infrastructure.

Abu Dhabi (Union)
Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) announced the sorting of about 838,000 tons of waste from the beginning of 2022 to the end of the third quarter of the year, including plastic, paper and mixed scrap, as well as solid waste such as iron and wood collected from the Center ’ s landfills in Al Ain, Al Dhafra and Abu Dhabi.
During the first nine months of this year, the center has sorted more than 110,000 tons of plastic materials, more than 659,000 tons of wood, about 28,000 tons of waste paper and cardboard, about 950 tons of mixed scrap, including fabrics and corks, as well as more than 14,000 tons of iron, and about 24,000 tons of aluminum. As part of the Center ’ s keenness to provide the best innovative solutions regarding the sustainability of environmental resources.
Abdulmohsen Al Katheeri, Director of Projects and Facilities Management at Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer), said: “Our results this year reflect the Centre ’ s commitment to preserving the environment and its resources, in line with our ongoing commitment to maximize the benefits of waste through sorting, recycling and converting it into environmentally friendly materials and products that support the UAE ’ s economy. ”
17 collection centers
Tadweer provides 17 recycling collection centers in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra to encourage community members to contribute to the separation of waste from its source and maintain a healthy, safe and sustainable environment, in line with its ongoing efforts to develop waste sorting services.
During the year, the center also contributed to the promotion of public cleaning services, including manual and automatic vacuuming services, and the collection and transport of waste from various areas in the emirate and transfer it to its own stations, through the allocation of specialized teams and provide them with the latest equipment, cleaning tools and vehicles to transport waste municipal and solid waste, and public cleaning services throughout the emirate at all times and at the highest levels.

Content: In order to encourage recycling operators to upgrade, the EPD and the SME Credit Guarantee Fund will provide a credit guarantee of NT $1 billion, up to a maximum of NT $50 million each, and the EPD will provide an additional 1% interest subsidy.
According to the EPD's estimate, last year the Recycling Fund brought an estimated $45 billion in economic benefits, generated nearly $140 billion in environmental monetization benefits and provided 35,000 job opportunities.
Wang Yuebin, executive secretary of the EPD's Resource Recovery Management Fund, says that he plans to cooperate with the Small and Medium Credit Insurance Fund from next year to provide preferential interest rates, obtain funds for pollution control equipment and automatic process equipment, improve the efficiency of recycling equipment, and provide an additional 1% interest subsidy to reduce the burden of operators.
In addition to loans and interest subsidies, Wang plans to provide a NT $900 million budget within three years to encourage the production of high-value products such as rubber powder from waste tires and light bricks from waste glass, and to obtain a NT $50 million National Science Council budget to analyze the carbon emission hotspots of the resource recycling industry, conduct carbon inventory of recycled materials, and analyze the carbon reduction benefits.
Wang Yuebin mentioned that he also found that some of the capital recycling companies only seek subsidies, so they only meet the low standard of the threshold, and will be evaluated every three or four years to provide more stringent subsidy standards for the backward companies, so as to promote improvement.

Education and community engagement are essential for the success of waste sorting and recycling systems, with public awareness and participation being critical for behavioral change.

In order to further improve the waste classification work and guide the masses to develop green living habits, Tongxiang Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau continues to carry out waste classification law enforcement inspections, improve the level of waste classification management, and ensure new results in waste classification work.

1. Focus on publicity and work hard on the word “fine”. Implement waste sorting publicity work, organize team members to carry out all-round and multi-level domestic waste sorting publicity and popularization work in restaurants and shops, and spread awareness of waste sorting in the hearts of the people by distributing promotional materials, on-site popular science sorting knowledge, and bucket-side guidance , Effectively improve the awareness rate of garbage classification and the accuracy of delivery. At the same time, adopt the combination of “online + offline” mode, and expand the coverage of domestic waste classification publicity by irregularly pushing waste classification knowledge in the WeChat autonomous group, and create a good atmosphere for everyone to participate in waste classification. At present, more than 150 team members have been mobilized and more than 1,500 promotional materials have been distributed.

2. Special law enforcement, seeking a breakthrough in the word “accurate”. In accordance with the principle of “education first, rectification second, and punishment later”, team members are organized to carry out carpet law enforcement inspections on shops, restaurants, supermarkets and other places along the street, focusing on those who fail to set up waste classification collection containers in accordance with regulations and dispose of garbage in strict accordance with classification requirements and collection issues. At the same time, strengthen education and guidance for shops that found problems during the inspection, order them to rectify within a specified time limit, and punish those who fail to complete the rectification within the prescribed time limit in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. ,carefulness. At present, a total of more than 90 shops have been inspected, and 6 cases have been investigated and dealt with.

3. Long-term management, see the actual effect in the word “chang”. Further establish and improve the garbage classification law enforcement supervision mechanism, carry out “review” actions for units that have been ordered to rectify and punished in the early stage, conduct surprise inspections from time to time through a combination of daily inspections and random sampling inspections, and strictly refer to the relevant requirements of garbage classification. Stores with problems in the previous inspection will be re-supervised to prevent the classification of domestic waste from being a mere formality and ensure the implementation of domestic waste classification. At the same time, broaden the channels and scope for the masses to participate in waste sorting management, increase investment in law enforcement and inspections of the problems reported by the masses, truly achieve early detection and early stop, and gradually form a good environment for waste sorting, co-construction, governance and sharing. pattern.

An initiative to reduce the garbage crisis in Lebanon
Waste sorting Copyright JOSEPH EID / AFP
By: Euronews
Landfills in Lebanon are often overflowing with waste that is illegally incinerated in informal incinerators, while large amounts of garbage are dumped into the waters of Lebanon on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
In a suburb of Beirut, drivers are standing in a parking lot, not to buy fast food but to hand over plastic and paper waste in exchange for cash, in an unusual scene in a country that has been plagued by years of waste management crises.
Landfills in Lebanon are often overflowing with waste that is illegally incinerated in informal incinerators, while large amounts of garbage are dumped into the waters of Lebanon on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
State-run recycling has fallen in a country facing an economic collapse described as one of the worst in the world in nearly four years.
Drive Throw Recycling
Pierre Baaklini, 32, founder of Lebanon Waste Management, said: “The government used to be in charge of this sector but is now bankrupt. ”
Baaklini launched the first recycling plant called DriveThru about a year ago, and then opened a second one in February in Bourj Hammoud, an area on the outskirts of Beirut with a huge landfill.
While some of Lebanon ’ s poorest earn their living by searching through garbage containers for anything they can sell, recycle or use as scrap, Baaklini explains that his customers are environmentally conscious people with “sufficient income, ” by and large.
People drive to the station, record their personal details and place on a desk bags and boxes of sorted recyclable materials.
Workers receive a variety of materials, from cardboard to plastic, glass, metal, electronic waste, batteries and even used cooking oil.
A list of prices shows, for example, that one kilogram of cardboard is worth 2,000 Lebanese pounds (about two years of the dollar), while one kilogram of aluminum cans is worth 50,000 pounds (about half a dollar).
Roni Nashef, 38, delivers oversized plastic bags in a country where many rely on bottled water for drinking.
Recycling is “certainly a much better solution to Lebanon ’ s waste problem, ” he says.
Inefficiency and corruption caused a major waste crisis in Lebanon in 2015, during which the streets were filled with piles of rubbish, much of which was dumped into the sea, suffocating the population and damaging the country ’ s image.
Since then, the relevant authorities have not come up with a viable long-term solution.
The problem has also been exacerbated by the massive destruction of two waste sorting stations caused by the catastrophic explosion in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020.
"For the community."
Inside DriveThru, recyclable materials are carefully sorted, while plastic is cut for later cleaning.
Baaklini says the two Drivethru facilities have absorbed a total of 450 tons of recyclable materials, and the materials are sold to local and international customers.
“What we ’ re doing here is also about education ” and raising awareness about recycling, he says, noting that schoolchildren sometimes visit the facility to learn about the activity.
Environmental engineer Ziad Abi Shaker explains that the Lebanese authorities have long neglected the issue of recycling.
Abi Shaker, head of the CEDRE Environmental Group, which specializes in zero-waste technologies, says that “about 10 percent ” of the 5,000 tons of waste dumped daily in Lebanon is recycled.
Authorities are considering a national waste management plan, but “no progress ” has been made due to institutional inertia.
A caretaker government with limited powers has been running Lebanon for more than a year.
“Ninety percent of the screening plants built over the years ” thanks to international donations have stopped working, says Abi Shaker, citing“ design errors ” and “corruption ” in their work.
Returning to Bourj Hammoud, 47-year-old Renata Rahma explains that she did not know the materials had to be separated from each other when she first came to the DriveThrow recycling plant.
“Now I ’ m trying to sort more, ” says Rahma, who works in film production and has brought a box of lamps and other small electrical appliances.
Rahma pointed out that the subject "is not related to financial return as much as participation in the initiative," adding "we try to achieve the best for the community and the country."

Collection of recyclables in Ingushetia
0
The problem of ecology in the modern world is so global and acute that a simple man in the street often remains indifferent to it, being sure that he can not influence the evolving situation anyway.
One of those guys has always been me.
But it ’ s amazing what age does to a person.
What until recently seemed something distant and incomprehensible, after thirty, appears in a clear picture, with a clear understanding that somewhere you can still be useful.
The fight against tons of concentrated gases that poison the atmosphere, of course, is not for beginners, but it is elementary not to throw garbage past the urn for everyone.
This year, I decided to add another one to my piggy bank of useful eco-cases - to sort waste and hand over recyclables for processing.
I was not sure that I would be able to introduce this into the habit, so I did not load myself with the collection of all types of recyclables at once, but limited myself to waste paper and plastic.
The first mistake I made was that I didn ’ t read the information on the subject.
In my recyclable containers went everything that in my understanding referred to paper or plastic.
In a couple of months, I got a dozen huge packages, and I called the number of the company engaged in the purchase of recyclables in the republic.
After a couple of days, they arrived, took everything, later weighed it and sent me the payment on the card...
150 rubles.
Of course, I did not expect a large monetary reward, but this amount really confused me.
As representatives of the company explained, the payment could be 3 times more, but in my garbage bags there were many items that cannot be recycled.
For a month, I didn ’ t even want to think about a second experiment.
But later, realizing that my disappointment was due only to my ignorance, I decided to explore more information on this topic.
“In 30 years, we can drown in garbage! ” – last spring, this phrase, sounded in the report“ Greenpeace ”, actively quoted by the world media.
Progressive scientists believe that recycling can significantly affect the solution of this problem.
The use of waste for secondary use will preserve the natural and energy resources of the planet, reduce the load on the objects of storage and disposal of garbage.
Despite the fact that the culture of separate garbage collection has been operating in the world for several decades, in Russia it is only developing: more than 90% of waste is sent to landfills and landfills, 7% - for processing.
In recent years, the situation in Ingushetia has noticeably changed.
In general education institutions, eco-talks, eco-lessons and various cultural and educational events on environmental topics are held, there are environmental volunteer movements, in different points of cities and villages you can see mesh metal containers for collecting recyclables.
Against the background of ongoing changes, sorting garbage at home appears to be the minimum task of each person who is responsible to the Almighty and future generations for the preservation of the environment.
So where to start and what should not be thrown in a separate container for recyclables, so as not to be mistaken, as in the case of me?
First of all, it is worth remembering that not all paper is waste paper.
Paper cups, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, checks, laminated paper, photo, greasy, dirty, burnt paper are not recyclable.
But office paper, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, promotional products, cardboard and corrugated cardboard, paper clean packaging from products you will be happy to accept in the appropriate points.
Bottles from under water, carbonated drinks, juice, milk, packaging and bottles from shampoo, detergents, plastic bags can be safely sent for processing.
But you should not collect toys, stationery, tubes of toothpaste and creams, packages of mayonnaise and ketchup with lids, shiny packages of coffee, tea and chips, straws from drinks, toothbrushes, foam, balls, shoe covers like I did.
This type of waste cannot or is difficult to recycle.
Last month, starting the general cleaning of the yard and sheds, our family also handed over scrap metal in the amount of 850 rubles.
It is worth noting that in this matter everything is easier - all types of metal can be processed, but cast iron is most appreciated.
The news for me was the fact that in Russia glass processing occupies one of the leading places.
But despite the fact that our country annually produces about 6 million tons of glass, only a quarter is processed.
Most of this volume ends up in landfills, while the decay period of a glass bottle is 1 million years.
Despite the fact that the report of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia “On Environmental Protection ” noted that Ingushetia has the lowest content of hazardous substances in the air, the problem of garbage disposal in our region is acute.
Head of the Department of Environmental Protection and Environmental Safety of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Ingushetia Adam Barkinkhoev commented on the work of the department for sorting waste.
“In order to introduce separate waste accumulation in the Republic of Ingushetia in the framework of the Federal project of an integrated system for municipal waste management in 2021, our region purchased 2,289 containers.
Containers have 5 color indications for certain waste fractions, ” says Adam Barkinkhoev.
The bulk of the containers have already been handed over to local governments for installation in all municipalities.
“The containers have also been handed over to the executive authorities, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor, to be placed in schools, kindergartens and hospitals, ” says Adam Hamitovich.
According to him, this year the Ministry of Nature of Ingushetia also approved an application for the purchase of more than 2,700 containers in 2023.
“We have an agreement with the regional operator for the export of waste in Ingushetia that after all the containers are placed, the regional operator will develop a schedule and will separately take all the waste to its landfill.
At the landfill, waste is additionally sorted and will be sent to other regions for processing.
The remaining part, the so-called tails, will be placed on the landfill for subsequent burial. ”
Work on environmental education of the population is not the first year carried out by the Ministry.
But to intensify the promotion of separate collection of garbage, the department plans after the installation of containers.
“We can talk a lot about separate collection, but if we do not create conditions for the population, then people will hear today, and tomorrow they will forget.
And if we talk about it, and they can apply this knowledge in practice, it will be much better absorbed, ” explains Adam Barkinkhoev, head of the Department of Environmental Protection and Environmental Safety of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Ingushetia.
During this year, I repeatedly handed over waste paper and plastic to the company Biolaif _ ing, engaged in the reception and export of recyclables.
In the course of writing this material, it became interesting to talk with representatives of the company and find out what led them in the opening of this business area.
“As we all know, every year a huge amount of garbage is thrown into the atmosphere, which nature cannot independently process without human strength.
So we decided to take this case, ” says Sultan.
“We have organized the collection and purchase of recyclable materials that can be recycled and reused.
This category includes plastic, paper, glass...
There are many more categories that can be attributed to the second.
But we still have limited options that we buy.
We accept any kind of waste paper, plastic containers, bottles, canisters... "
In the native republic, the partners Sultan and Muslim are working only for the third year.
But behind the shoulders a good experience in this area.
For 6 years of work, our countrymen have actively manifested themselves outside Ingushetia: in Moscow and in the Moscow region, they have several points for receiving recyclables, where they successfully sort and send it to factories.
“Here, in Ingushetia, we accept a limited type of recyclable materials on our base due to the lack of our own industrial zone, the area is small, because of which there is no opportunity to work at full capacity.
But we are fighting this, trying to create conditions so that the residents of the republic can hand over more recyclables that can be recycled, thereby contributing to the preservation of the environment, ” says Sultan.
As he admits, a couple of years ago, when they were just starting their activities in the republic, there were very few enthusiasts ready to deal with sorting household waste and collecting recyclables.
“There are a small number of people who collect recyclables, bring them to us at the point and hand them over.
I think this is due to the fact that our sphere is not widely known to the inhabitants of the region.
But we have been actively engaged in educational work in this direction.
Today, compared to previous years, more and more people are learning about us and are interested in the topic of collecting recyclables. ”
The great begins with the small, and we, having worked a little, can bring real benefit to our republic, even without leaving home.

EcoMeter calls for publication of key performance indicators
Experts participating in the Economic Modernization Vision Observatory “ECO-Meter ” called on the government to announce the key performance indicators (KPIs) and the implementation plan of the vision, which allows monitoring the performance and progress in the implementation of the vision.
The experts, who participated in the working session held by the Observatory last week in Adnan Abu Odeh Hall, stressed the need to adopt the necessary legislation and laws to implement and implement the vision on the ground, and called for the need to communicate with the official bodies that oversee the implementation of the vision.
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Institute of Policy and Society, dr.
He stressed that the government will start monitoring the implementation of these outputs through the eight engines targeted in the vision and assess the extent of achievement in each engine and the timeline for completion, and the operational needs that must be met for each of these engines, focusing – as a first step – on some indicators and strategic sectors that have a direct impact, such as the “creation of one million jobs ” indicator.
He also called on the province to speed up the implementation of the economic vision of immediate direct interventions in multiple areas, in the short term.
The participants had recommended the formation of an expanded advisory committee to follow up the mechanisms of the Observatory ’ s work, and to set the general objectives and policies that the Observatory seeks to achieve.
He also called for the formation of monitoring teams to undertake the process of monitoring and evaluation, and to divide these teams into groups according to the sectors that were formed in the workshops.
Coordinator of the Observatory dr.
Mohammed Abdulhamid Al-Qudah explained that this observatory comes as a supervisory body from civil society that monitors and follows up the commitment to implementation in order to ensure that these outputs reflect on the life of the Jordanian citizen and the national economy, while ensuring that these outputs remain and implemented across governments to ensure that it is a sustainable growth and motivation plan for a strong start to the second centenary of the Jordanian state.
The judges stressed that the observatory will follow up the outputs of the Public Sector Modernization Committee because the success of this vision is linked to the application of these outputs together.
The observatory will launch its own website through which the results of its monitoring will be published periodically every three months, in addition to the economic analyses related to the vision, with the issuance of economic recommendations to the authorities responsible for the implementation of the vision modernization, and show the achievements or shortcomings in implementation.

By 2025, the sorting and transportation capacity of domestic waste will reach about 700,000 tons / day.
"Fourteen five," living garbage such as this
This reporter Kong Dechen
February 23, 2022 08: 31 Source: People 's Daily Overseas Edition
Many residents in Beijing and Shanghai have become proficient in sorting garbage, including dry garbage, wet garbage and harmful garbage.
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Health Commission issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Urban Environmental Infrastructure" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"), and made arrangements for the construction of a scientific and perfect domestic waste classification and treatment system.
The Guiding Opinions clearly state that by 2025, the classification and collection capacity of domestic waste will reach about 700,000 tons / day, and the incineration capacity will reach about 800,000 tons / day; the utilization rate of urban resources will reach about 60%, and the incineration capacity of urban domestic waste will reach about 65%.
Tong Lin, director of the Environmental Health Engineering Technology Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Construction, said that the "Guidance" clarifies the construction pattern of incineration treatment facilities, promotes waste reduction and resource utilization, and points out the direction for the classification and treatment of domestic waste during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
According to the Guiding Opinions, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the domestic waste classification and collection system will be more perfect.
All localities will rationally arrange domestic garbage collection stations, improve the classification transportation system, and speed up the completion of the capacity of sorting collection and transfer facilities.
According to the requirements, all localities will clarify the construction goals and tasks of facilities for the collection and transportation of domestic waste, steadily promote the construction of facilities, and effectively connect the classification delivery end and the classification processing end to avoid garbage "first division and later mixing".
At the same time, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will also fully implement the domestic waste charging system, implement the garbage metering charging of non-resident users, explore the charging of resident users according to the amount, and encourage all localities to innovate the charging mode of domestic waste disposal and continuously improve the collection rate.
The construction of incineration facilities will be accelerated.
The construction of waste incineration treatment facilities in urban built-up areas with daily clearance of more than 300 tons of domestic waste will be accelerated.
In regions that do not have the conditions to build large-scale waste incineration treatment facilities, the state encourages construction through cross-regional co-construction and sharing.
Tong Lin said that the "14th Five-Year Plan" period should be closely linked to the high-quality development requirements of waste classification treatment, on the basis of the existing, further expand the incineration based technology pattern, reduce the amount of primary waste landfill.
Promote the construction of kitchen waste disposal facilities in an orderly manner.
"With the implementation of garbage classification, all localities need to adopt a long-term layout and transitional arrangement to accelerate the construction and transformation of kitchen waste treatment facilities, and comprehensively solve the problems of kitchen waste, household kitchen waste and garbage disposal in farmers' markets," Tong Lin said. "..."
According to the guidance, in accordance with the principles of green and low-carbon, intensive and efficient, and circular development, the construction of sewage, garbage, solid waste, hazardous waste, medical waste treatment and disposal and resource utilization "multi-integrated" comprehensive disposal bases, and the promotion of the construction mode of intravenous industrial parks.
Tong Lin explained that this is conducive to promoting the sharing of processing facilities and equipment, resource and energy sharing, common treatment of environmental pollution, shared responsibility and risk sharing, to achieve rational use of resources, effective disposal of pollutants, controllable environmental risks, and steadily improve the development level of facilities.
Domestic waste disposal should also be upgraded to intelligent green.
In the next stage, the state will promote the intelligent upgrading of the whole system of domestic waste classification management, and strengthen the collection, sharing, analysis, evaluation and early warning of information.

The domestic waste classification system in 46 key cities was basically completed, and the coverage rate of residential areas reached 86.6%.
Garbage sorting, more sense of participation
Our reporter Peng Xunwen
January 24, 2022 08: 42 Source: People 's Daily Overseas Edition
At 19: 00 every night, Zhang Hong, a resident of Huiwen Building, Baoshan Road, Jing 'an District, Shanghai, carries a good class of garbage at the door of the district. In Huixingyuan District, Chaoyang District, Beijing, Ms. Wang was stopped by her daughter when she threw garbage. The habit has been maintained for more than three years … Nowadays, garbage sorting is changing the lives of Chinese people a little bit.
In 2019, nine departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the National Development and Reform Commission, issued the Notice on the Comprehensive Implementation of Domestic Waste Classification in Cities at the Prefectural Level and Above.
With the implementation of domestic waste classification in the country's prefecture-level and above cities, residents' garbage classification habits have been accelerated.
Experts said that the classification and treatment capacity of urban and rural domestic waste should be further improved, and more cities should basically build a domestic waste classification and treatment system, and continue to increase the participation and sense of access of residents.
"Although the garbage classification is small, it must be persisted for a long time to do a good job."
Ms. Wang, who lives in Huixingyuan, Chaoyang District, Beijing, is changing her living habits over the years: every morning at 8 a.m., she pulls the canvas car for shopping, which contains several bags, and carries the kitchen waste and other garbage that has been divided into good categories.
Since the implementation of the new rules on garbage classification in Beijing on May 1, 2020, many changes have occurred around people.
Ms. Wang lives in the community downstairs there is a group of trash cans station, clearly marked with the name of the garbage classification and transportation company, contact person, supervision telephone, etc., a pull up the top of the bucket lid, you can throw garbage into the corresponding bucket.
In the vegetable market, merchants no longer provide disposable plastic bags for free.
"Although the garbage classification is very small, it must be persisted for a long time to do a good job, and now it really does not have a heavy burden."
The living environment has improved, and I think it is worth it, "said Ms. Wang.
With the in-depth development of garbage classification in the country, the coverage rate of domestic garbage classification communities in the first batch of 46 key cities has reached 86.6%.
In Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, residents' awareness and participation rate of garbage classification have reached more than 90%.
Behind the achievements is the initiative of the residents.
At 7 a.m., Zhang Yan, a 72-year-old resident of Huize Community in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and other volunteers showed up at the garbage can station in the district on time.
They wore red sleeves on their arms, saw that someone came with a garbage bag, went forward to look, and tactfully "nagged" a few words with residents who were not properly classified, and then began to help classify them.
This community with a permanent population of more than 23,000 people is a newly merged community, and waste management was once a big problem. In 2019, Zhang Yan and several neighbors, who have retired for many years, set up an environmental volunteer team with the support of the community.
"Some residents called us dirty and stinky, and everyone encouraged each other, 'We are hands stinky heart does not stink.'"
Slowly, residents no longer ridicule, self-consciously classified more, "Zhang Yan said.
Door-to-door promotion of garbage classification knowledge, the implementation of bucket duty, the monthly organization of "community cleaning days"... volunteers do not take wages, no pay, driven by Zhang Yan, the activities are more and more, the number of people also increased to more than 50.
Due to the different degree of participation of residents, many models have been formed in the classification of garbage in various places.
Some places implement the "three fixed and one governor" mode, through regular fixed points, supervisors and volunteers to guide residents to separate garbage, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, etc. Some places apply a variety of classification models according to the different characteristics of each region, such as Suzhou...
"In recent years, China has accelerated the implementation of the garbage classification system, and initially formed a garbage classification system based on the rule of law, government promotion, national participation, urban and rural planning, and adapted to local conditions." Xu Haiyun, chief engineer of China Urban Construction Research Institute Co., Ltd., said.
“Let residents see the effectiveness of waste sorting in real time ”
Waste classification is a system engineering, involving the delivery, collection, transportation, disposal and other links.
After the current terminal consciously classifies, how to ensure that the back end is also classified and shipped and disposed of?
Shanghai Rixu Environmental Cleaning Service Co., Ltd. Xujiahui operation team takes on the task of sorting and transporting garbage in Xujiahui area. "Not sorting, not collecting" is the standard for the team 's staff to collect and transport garbage.
On the mobile phone of He Jun, assistant to Xu Jiahui ’ s team leader, an APP called “Shanghai Classification Quality Online ” can see all the data at all points.
He said that when collecting garbage, once the quality of garbage is found to be unqualified, the receiving personnel will take photos and report to the platform.
APP and street, property, urban management, greening and other departments linkage and push the unqualified report, the community 7 consecutive times, the unit 3 consecutive times unqualified, the sanitation will issue a denial of clearance notice, and stop its operation.
The team also installed a vehicle-mounted metering system on the garbage truck, and the weight of the garbage collected by the vehicle can be synchronously fed back to the smart display of the garbage compartment in the community. "This is to let the residents see the garbage classification results in real time." He Jun said.
Different types of garbage are different, and the methods of collection and disposal are also different.
In Shanghai, dry garbage is transported directly, compressed trucks collect and transfer, and small pressure stations collect and transfer; wet garbage is collected in barrels for barrels and compressed trucks for direct transport or transfer; recyclables are collected through service points; and hazardous garbage is first placed in temporary storage yards and then transported to sorting centers.
According to the strategy of "big diversion and fine classification", large and relatively concentrated quantities of kitchen waste, fruit and vegetable waste, and greening waste generated by residents are divided into small categories, and special transportation is carried out to deal with household kitchen waste, waste furniture, waste fabrics and harmful waste.
When the various links of garbage classification are smoothly connected in series, the results are initially apparent.
Statistics show that the current national domestic waste sorting and transportation capacity is about 500,000 tons / day, and the average recycling rate of domestic waste in 46 key cities is 30.4%.
However, in the process of garbage classification, some problems still exist.
For example, how to adapt garbage classification to local conditions, how to avoid rushing to success, how to solve the cost problem and so on need to continue to explore.
Xu Haiyun believes that the first 46 key cities to try out, although only about 7% of the number of cities in the country, but its driving role and demonstration significance is very strong.
"From the current practice of garbage classification in various places, the focus is to improve the collection and utilization of recyclables, the difficulty is to improve the collection and utilization of kitchen waste, and the blocking point is to improve the collection and treatment of harmful waste."
The classification of recyclables and recycling of renewable resources should fully consider the costs and costs; the separation of kitchen waste collection and the utilization of biomass resources should consider the market demand; the separation of hazardous waste collection and hazardous waste treatment should be precise and efficient. "Xu Haiyun said.
Some people in the industry believe that the current garbage classification in rural areas needs to be deepened, and the supervision of some cities in all aspects of garbage classification needs to be strengthened.
“Achieving self-management in community governance through consultation and sharing ”
On January 15, more than 100 students from Chengyang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, visited the community kitchen waste composting training and promotion center in Shundeju District.
According to Xu Jin, director of the community kitchen waste composting center, “kitchen waste plus broken green waste composting is a process that mimics the green cycle of nature, and the organic matter of kitchen waste is decomposed by magical microorganisms and turned into soil. ”
Driving community composting is not easy.
According to the director of the Chengyang District Waste Classification Office, the district invited environmental composting experts and Qingdao You and I social work organization to guide and formulate a scientific raw material matching plan, which was eventually successfully promoted by the property company. Ningsih said.
According to the relevant planning, by 2025, the scope of building a domestic waste classification and treatment system should be expanded from the current 46 key cities to the national prefecture-level and above cities, and the domestic waste classification and transportation capacity should be increased from about 500,000 tons / day to about 700,000 tons / day.
The higher goals for the classification and treatment of domestic waste require more innovative practices by all parties.
Social organizations have a unique role to play in mobilizing public participation in garbage sorting.
Tao Chuanjin, a professor at the School of Social Development and Public Policy at Beijing Normal University, said that the community can support social organizations to carry out activities such as community composting, building balcony gardens, and forming volunteer teams.
Some people who are enthusiastic about reducing waste advocate a healthier and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Every weekend, the organic farmers' market in Sanyuanqiao, Beijing, is bustling.
In addition, the market also carries out activities such as exchange of idle items, recycling of recyclables, "rebirth of old things", and online training on vegetable planting.
"We want to promote a more environmentally friendly way of life, which requires more people to participate, change and act," said Tara, a worker at the Organic Farmers Market in Beijing.

Content: Recycling project prevents 72,000 tons of carbon being released in Shropshire

Just 483 users of a Shropshire recycling scheme have saved an estimated more than 72,000 tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere in three years.

Warp-it (Waste Action Re-use Portal) is open to Shropshire Council staff, schools, and not for profit organisations across the county, enabling them to source and donate almost any kind of item.

The council reckons that the carbon saving is the equivalent of planting nearly 100 trees or removing 31 cars from the road in its environmental impact. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a major contributor to climate change.

It has also avoided more than 30,000kgs of waste being dumped, and saved the council more than £125,000 in procurement and disposal costs, they say.

Councillor Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for climate change, natural assets and the green economy, welcomed the savings: “Our aim at Shropshire Council is to reuse and redistribute equipment and resources wherever possible.

"Since becoming a member of Warp-It we have made staggering financial savings in procurement and disposal costs, as well as considerably reducing supply chain environmental impacts.

“The carbon and costs savings are significant, and are the equivalent of planting nearly 100 trees or removing 31 cars from the road. We are delighted the scheme has been so well used, and we are now setting our target even higher with ambitions to save £500,000 by 2025.

“The 483 members who have used Warp-it so far deserved a huge pat on the back, and I would encourage others to check out Warp-it before they rush to the shops to buy.”

Now the powers that be are aiming to get more schools and academy trusts, town and parish councils, charities and not-for-profit groups to join, as well as enrolling regional colleges and universities.

The scheme is not for individuals however. There encouraged to search online for sites and apps to increase their own reusing and recycling.

Waste Recycling is an environmental commitment to reduce harmful emissions and a huge economic return
The State is moving to implement waste recycling projects, in order to emphasize its role in the task of environmental commitment, as it is keen to reduce the negative effects and harmful emissions caused by the accumulation of waste.
In this regard, Ahmed Saeed, head of the waste system at the Ministry of Local Development, said that the state is seeking to achieve participatory action under the umbrella of the political leadership and with the approval of the Council of Ministers in waste recycling projects, with a total of about 12 billion pounds investments in the new waste system.
Hamdi Arafa, a local development expert and consultant to international municipalities, says that recycling and reuse of waste is one of the largest national projects, pointing out that the return from these projects is very huge.
Arafa pointed out that the experiences of the major industrial countries in the waste recycling project, as China is at the forefront of those countries that recycle garbage and waste again, pointing out that the projects of lining the canals contributed to reducing pollution significantly, as part of the efforts of the Ministry of Local Development, more than 4,000 kilometers of canals have been lined in strategic partnership with the governorates of the Republic and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation.
The local development expert stressed that Egypt is now moving to implement waste recycling projects, especially as these projects provide a huge material return to the national economy.
The integrated solid waste management system included reducing pollution and heat emissions in addition to launching infrastructure development in the solid waste monitoring system, closing random landfills, establishing waste collection stations from neighborhoods with a total of 94 stations and establishing sanitary landfill cells, and silos to recycle waste and produce electricity.
Magdi Allam, an environmental expert, says that waste recycling projects have more than one dimension, for example, on the environmental side, they reduce pollution and the risk of spreading diseases and other damages that result from the accumulation of waste.
From an economic point of view, Allam explains that waste recycling needs a strong and equipped infrastructure to implement such projects, in order to achieve the desired goal of economic return.
It is noteworthy that 94 intermediate stations have been established to collect waste from neighborhoods, in addition to the establishment of safe sanitary burial cells in 27 governorates estimated at 52 cells, as well as the establishment of solid waste recycling plants to reach the production of electric energy and improved organic fertilizer to be used in land reclamation and the production of fuel that replaces coal in many industries such as cement industry. Spokesman for the Ministry of Local Development.
According to the Ministry of Local Development, over the past two and a half years, accumulations of nearly 50 million tons have been lifted, with 45 million Egyptian citizens benefiting from this as a final result, and these investments are estimated at 12 billion Egyptian pounds.

Content: In Russia will halve the cost of garbage disposal in the next two years
The authorities decided to cut waste management costs by half in 2023-2024, which will not interfere with plans to increase the share of sorting and recycling of garbage.
This writes RBC, referring to the draft federal budget for the next three years.
Expenses of the federal budget for the creation of infrastructure for the treatment and disposal of garbage in 2023 will be reduced by 2.1 times compared with the indicators of 2021, to 12.5 billion rubles.
In 2024, costs will grow slightly (to 14.07 billion rubles), but all will also be twice lower than provided for by the current law on the budget (27.96 billion rubles).
At the same time, market participants indicated that the indicators that were set by the federal project will be fulfilled on time.
In addition, in the first six months of 2022, the share of solid municipal waste treatment increased from 43.3 to 49%, and the share of their utilization increased from 11.6 to 14.1%.
Market experts agreed that the funds were redistributed taking into account the change in the structure of measures to support the industry.
At the same time, the emphasis will now be placed in favor of concessions and green bonds.
Funds will be raised for environmental projects.
For example, in 2021, the REO financed several projects worth 6.1 billion rubles, and by the end of 2024, it was planned to place bonds in the amount of 100 billion rubles.
Market participants pointed out that the REO has agreed with the main Russian banks on joint investments through the redemption of bonds.
On September 23, Anton Guskov, a representative of the Electronics Recycling Association, said that the volume of electrical waste disposal in Russia doubled in three years after the launch of the waste management reform.

The new scheme includes information about the solid municipal waste treatment facility “First Step ” (sorting line) with a capacity of 30 thousand tons per year.
It also reflects information about waste treatment, utilization and disposal complexes (WPC), which will help to achieve the goals of a closed cycle economy - 100% waste sorting and 25% involvement of recyclables in economic circulation.
- KPO "Yug" in the Prionezh district with a capacity of 180 thousand tons per year will serve the southern and central regions of the republic.
Phased commissioning of the facility is planned from 2025.
- KPO "North" in the Segezhsky district with a capacity of 40 thousand tons per year will serve the northern regions and districts.
It will be built next to the existing landfill, which after commissioning of the facility in 2027 will be reclaimed.
The new KPO will eliminate the use of waste transfer sites – all waste will be directly delivered from municipalities to waste treatment, disposal and disposal facilities.
In addition, the territorial scheme includes information on the placement of yellow containers for the collection of recyclables in municipalities (Kondopozhsky, Pryazhinsky, Prionezh, Olonets, Lakhdenpokhsky municipal districts, Suoyarvsky, Pitkyaranta, Sortavala municipal districts and Petrozavodsk urban district).
After the commissioning of KPO "North", the northern regions and districts of the republic will also be involved in the turnover of secondary raw materials.
Due to the sanctions restrictions, the use of the Finnish Hardfarm technology is excluded in the new territorial scheme.
In Karelia, modern environmentally friendly technologies for sorting and processing waste will be used.
Importation of garbage from other regions is excluded.

International cooperation and funding are necessary for the successful implementation of waste sorting and recycling systems, with countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, and Taiwan receiving funding and support from international organizations.

During the ceremony, the President of the Union of Municipalities of the Lake, Engineer Yahya Daher, expressed "the happiness of the people of the West Bekaa and Rashaya for the stages achieved in the environmental corridor project," praising the efforts of the reforestation association and the follow-up of Minister Yassin, and stressed "the importance of sustainable rural development and giving the Qaraoun lake attention that would return it to its natural environmental location."
For his part, the Minister of Environment stressed "the importance of forest and natural resources for human safety and the development of the local economy," and noted "the efforts exerted by associations, municipalities and conservation committees to develop and protect corridors and green spaces."
Yassin revealed that "the announcement of the revival of the fish farming project with the Ministry of Agriculture in cooperation with municipalities, especially in the Litani basin, especially that we import 80% of our need for fish from abroad, pointing to the establishment of a plant or a model farm for fish farming on the banks of the Qaraoun lake with clean water."
He said: "We are working to clean the lake to encourage the idea of   model fish farms in Bekaa, Akkar, the South and other areas to enhance food security," noting the efforts of lri and the reserves concerned with the corridor, expressing condolences on the death of the head of the Chouf Rice Reserve Charles Njeim.
In cooperation with the Municipality of Beirut, Yassin launched the establishment of waste collection centers in 10 potential locations in Beirut as part of efforts to improve solid waste management in Beirut, promote the collection of valuable and marketable recyclables, and promote waste sorting at source. in close coordination with the Ministry of Environment.
It will contribute to the improvement of critical capacities for solid waste management in the city of Beirut.
The project was launched along with the Minister of Environment, the Governor of Beirut, Judge Marwan Abboud, the Mayor of Beirut, Jamal Itani, the UNDP Resident Representative in Lebanon, Melanie Haunstein, the World Bank Representative, Mona Kozi, and a number of environmental experts and officials at the Ministry of Environment.
In a speech, Yassin said: "Today, we officially launch one of the most important steps to reach an integrated solid waste management, a big step in its meanings, as it lays the foundation stone to promote the culture of sorting from the source and separating the items and delivering them in dedicated centers under the auspices of the Municipality of Beirut and under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment."
He pointed out that "the ten centers intended to be established in the different neighborhoods of the capital hit three goals that we have talked about and did not implement in the past years: First, the image in the minds of the people and the people of Beirut that waste collectors and contractors were returning and mixing waste with each other.
Second, these model centers achieve the principles of the circular economy and through their management plan in cooperation with startups achieve an important goal in strengthening partnership with the real private sector in the management of the solid waste sector and creating jobs in the green economy.
Third, through these centers, we strengthen the role of local administrations to make cooperation with the Municipality of Beirut a model for the role of municipalities, especially in cities, to carry out their responsibilities in the management of the waste sector, as the law says and as is the logic in the management of this sector. ”
The Minister of Environment concluded: "Today we are launching part of a larger plan for the city of Beirut, where we are working with our partners in UNDP and the World Bank through the grant provided by the Bank to restore the solid waste management in the capital, where work has begun to repair and restore the sorting plant in Karantina and the sintering plant in Choral, which is expected to be completed in late 2024."
For his part, the governor of Beirut, Marwan Abboud, said: "Today we address a file of the most dangerous files that threaten the entity of Lebanon, including the file of waste of the capital and all of Lebanon, and if this file is not properly addressed eliminates the state, and if the state can not remove its waste, the waste destroys the state."
The governor complained about the high cost of collecting and treating waste and the lack of resources, "and suggested to the environment minister and Beirut municipality to" expand the project and encourage people to sort in exchange for incentives. "
He thanked the World Bank "for its assistance in the rehabilitation of waste sorting plants," expressing concern about the lack of land in Beirut to dump waste in light of the proximity of the new landfill to its capacity.
World Bank Representative Mona Cozy expressed her support for this step and for this project that helps to address the waste crisis and preserve the environment in Beirut, pointing to the importance of the Lebanon Trust Fund, which was established on December 4, 2020 in the wake of the Beirut Port disaster and after the launch of the Recovery and Reconstruction Framework, a five-year multi-donor trust fund that aims to raise funding resources from donations and enhance coordination to meet social and economic recovery. The fund has so far received contributions and pledges from the governments of Canada, Denmark, France, Germany and the European Union.

Journalist Tsai Pei-min / reporting from Yunlin
In order to improve the county ’ s independent garbage disposal capacity, Yunlin County government has obtained central subsidies for the purchase of new equipment from the “All-Mobile Garbage Machinery Sorting System ”, including single-shaft crushing machine from Austria, drum screening machine from Sweden and packaging machine from Sweden.
Chang Li-shan, mayor of Yunlin County, explains that the county government uses mobile equipment to treat temporary garbage and fresh garbage at various landfills in the county.
▲ Yunlin County will launch the "all-mobile garbage machinery sorting system" to fully upgrade the energy of its waste.

After the complete equipment is assembled and put on line, it is expected that 200 tons of household waste can be treated every day. After opening bags, screening and other procedures, about 120 tons of SRF (Solid Regenerative Fuel) raw materials can be produced.
In addition to increasing the waste disposal capacity of Yunlin County and reducing the amount of landfill, the full mobile garbage sorting system has the greatest benefits to improve fuel quality and stabilize fuel production, further increasing the proportion of waste derived fuel blending in power generation boilers, reducing coal consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, creating a win-win situation for both the international situation and the central government waste resources. The goal of a circular economy.

Zhang Qiaowei pointed out that at present, household waste in Yunlin County still needs to rely on the help of incinerators in other counties and cities. Therefore, it is urgent to build independent waste treatment capacity. From 2020 “Zero Waste Resource System ” (Z.W.S) to 2022“ Full Mobile Waste Mechanical Sorting System ”, Yunlin County will not be effectively utilized. The conversion of waste into fuel gives waste energy value and creates another type of circular economy.

Books by Mohammed Nassar:
Dr. Yasmin Fouad, Minister of Environment, held an extensive meeting with representatives of the donors of the National Solid Waste Management Programme, development partners from the European Union (EU), the German Construction Bank (KfW) and representatives of the German International Cooperation (GIZ), and the Swiss International Cooperation (SECo).
This came to discuss a number of topics related to the integrated system of municipal solid waste management, in the presence of Dr. Tariq Al-Arabi, Head of the Waste Management Regulatory Authority, Dr. Hazem Al-Dhanan, Director of the National Program for Solid Waste Management, Deputy Director of the Swiss SECO, Michel Harari, and Deputy Director of German International Cooperation at the German Embassy, Stephanie Sorensen, at the Ministry of Environment in the New Administrative Capital.
Fouad explained the great support given by the Egyptian government to the file of solid waste management in Egypt, which initially faced great challenges, and required a great effort, whether from the technical and funding aspects or the implementation of infrastructure to promote the system, or the issuance of regulations and laws, to implement the system in all Egyptian governorates, whether in Egypt, Upper Egypt or Cairo.
She pointed to the achievements made in the field of solid waste management during the last five years, the most important of which is the issuance of the Waste Management Law No. 202 of 2020, which includes single-use plastic waste, an issue of great interest worldwide.
This file is witnessing great cooperation with the Ministry of Local Development, which has a working team on this file, which created a state of harmony and integration between the two ministries to work on its implementation, where the government was able to unify the voice and visions among all ministries cooperating in the field of waste management in order to ensure greater harmony and coordination between all partners.
During the meeting, Yasmine Fouad reviewed what the Waste Management Regulatory Authority is doing, noting that it is a government agency, affiliated to the Ministry of Environment, established by the Prime Minister ’ s decision, and aims to organize, follow up and monitor all operations related to waste management at the central and local levels.
For her part, the minister addressed the issue of the extended responsibility of the product, according to which the product bears, in whole or in part, the costs of managing the product during its life cycle, including the post-consumption stage such as the collection, recycling and final disposal of the product, pointing out that they are in the process of issuing the Prime Minister's decision in this regard.
On the other hand, the representatives of the donor community expressed their happiness to cooperate with the Ministry of Environment and provide technical and financial support and look forward to further partnerships in the field of solid waste management.

Content: Nantou County does not have an incinerator, and the 150 tons of waste produced every day can only be transported to the city. However, due to the reduction of the daily waste transportation volume, the county government has placed more than 200,000 tons of waste in the county. Turn.
At present, the county government produces 150 tons of waste per day, and sends 100 tons of waste to the county, and 50 tons of waste per day is still temporarily placed in the county.
In addition to reducing the amount of waste and reducing the air pollution and flavor generated by incineration, such facilities are used in advanced countries such as France and Portugal.
Li Yi-shu stressed that Nantou started late, if you want to cover, you need to cover the best. It will introduce the latest mechanical sorting technology in Europe, so that the waste can be fuelled. The process is manual sorting of large objects and non-combustible materials. Derivative fuels also burn better in calorific value than coal and have almost no residue.
County Commissioner Lin Mingqin said that the incinerator and the green energy center are completely different, calling on the public to support and jointly solve the garbage problem. At present, the government will do it in a BOT way. They can also sell and increase revenue.
As for the people 's most concerned about the choice of location, Lin Mingqin stressed that the current public land will be selected as the main, without affecting the quality of life of the people, to build and operate, will not affect the lives of residents, and there are already several manufacturers interested in solid state derived fuel, the county government will also open a public hearing as soon as possible, to give the people rest assured, hope that it can be completed in 2024.

Nantou County Government will adopt the BOT model and invest about 1.5 billion yuan to build a green energy sustainable center renewable fuel manufacturing plant with a target of 350 tons of waste per day. County Governor Lin Mingqin stressed that the green energy renewable fuel plant is not used for incineration of waste, and will not cause secondary pollution. The temporary garbage will not be increased, and it will be completely removed.
Lin Ming and Li Yi Shu, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, explained this case: At present, the county produces 250 tons of garbage every day, and only 100 tons can be exported for incineration. Every day, 150 tons of garbage are added. Separation, direct separation of large and non-combustible materials, and then through the equipment to break the bag, after the biological drying facilities to reduce the moisture content of about 7%.
Finally, the waste is dried and then separated by magnetic separation, optical separation, and vortex current separation equipment units, and the iron, non-ferrous metal and plastic bottle and tank resources contained in the waste are separated by wind separation. And...
Lin Ming explains that the waste fuel treatment process is completely free of waste combustion, only the combustible material is purified into solid regenerated fuel, and has the characteristics of high calorific value and low heavy metal content. Only 37.5% of the original incinerator is built; and the waste from each township is collected and sealed to a container transfer truck, and then sent to a green energy center, there will be no large smoke chamber around the factory, and there will be no large rows of cleaning vehicles.
Lin Mingqin said that each ton of waste fuel treatment fee is 2600 yuan, the current planned treatment volume can be 360 tons per day, not only can handle 250 tons of domestic waste, 10 tons of huge waste, and 60 tons of garbage after separation, but also can help enterprises to deal with general business waste 40 tons, it is expected that the county accumulated 200,000 tons of waste can be completely decontaminated within 6 years of green energy center. To the township where 400 yuan rebate, up to 50 million yuan a year, and also to the use of fuel rod industrial boilers and other enterprises 1000 yuan per ton of reward money to promote.

Content: Pizza box recycling is not paper? 50% of the garbage is thrown wrong recycling encyclopedia to teach you
Reporter Chow Suk-ping / General Report
Do you think recycling is good for the environment?
According to the statistics of the Environmental Protection Agency, the waste in Taiwan officially exceeded 10 million tons last year, of which more than 5 Chengdu is resource waste. What are the main difficulties for people to recycle? How to promote the correct recycling behavior? In the age group, under the age of 18, regardless of environmental awareness and changes in environmental habits, are the highest level of improvement, and recycling education from an early age is the most effective.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
At the same time, in the same survey, it was found that in the recycling dilemma, nearly 60% of the people do not know the recycling category, which shows that the people's need for clear regulations on the recycling category.
In response to the survey results, RE-THINK proposed two solutions: the launch of Taiwan ’ s first “circular economy ” desktop game,“ Circular State ”, to build the correct recycling value on the campus; and the 2022 expansion of the “Recycling Encyclopedia ”.
RE-THINK has launched Taiwan ’ s first “Circular Economy ” board game“ State of Circular ” with a theme of circular economy and resource recovery. Through the board game, people can skip the daily familiar recycling action and become “city leaders ”.
Solution 2: Pizza boxes are not paper containers, plastic spoons Some cities have not collected? Many people do not know that the recycling category is in trouble, and RE-THINK expands the recycling encyclopedia.
In order to help people solve the problem of recycling classification fundamentally, the 2022 Recycling Awareness and Behavior Survey released by RE-THINK shows that nearly 60% of people have the highest proportion of recycling problems because they do not know the recycling category.
There are two main reasons for the estimation: "The speed of material innovation is too fast, and the recycling system cannot cope with it", "Different county and municipal governments and different fields (offices, schools) have different regulations."
In response to this major dilemma, RE-THINK has also expanded the Recycling Encyclopedia.
Consult REnato Lab, a resource recycling consultant, and update the current situation of the recycling market to update the contents of 13 items, such as: Pizza boxes should be classified as paper instead of paper containers, and plastic spoons are no longer accepted in some counties and cities due to low recycling value.

Public education and policy changes are key drivers of behavioral change in waste sorting and recycling.

The role of government is critical in promoting and implementing waste sorting and recycling practices, through the provision of funding, the establishment of policies and regulations, and the education of the public.

The implementation of a waste sorting and recycling system can have a number of benefits, including the reduction of waste disposal costs, the promotion of environmental literacy, and the creation of jobs and economic opportunities.

The Pingtung County Environmental Protection Bureau reminds people to implement garbage separation measures when cleaning up their homes after the heavy rain.
The Bureau of Environmental Protection (EPB) said that in recent years, due to the impact of changes in living habits caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, the production of general waste has increased frequently, resulting in the recovery rate of general waste in 112 years of this county is only 50.5%, far lower than the national average of 60.3%. The inspection results show that more than half of the people have not implemented garbage separation, unclassified and recycled resources, not only the waste of the earth's resources, but also will increase the waste disposal load, if the situation continues to deteriorate, it is bound to endanger the county's ability to handle general waste.
The Pingxian Environmental Protection Bureau reminds people to clean their homes, such as paper boxes, aluminum foil bags, PET bottles, glass bottles, plastic and paper containers beverage cups, etc., and then deliver them to the cleaning team for recycling.
After the typhoon passed, the Environmental Protection Bureau and various public offices have stepped up environmental clean-up work, but there are still continuous rainfall caused by the southwest air flow in recent days. At this time, the continuous rainfall is conducive to the breeding of dengue fever vector mosquitoes. It is the most environmentally friendly way to prevent mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever.
When people are busy cleaning up their homes after the typhoon, it is inevitable that a large amount of waste will be produced. At this time, it is also necessary to implement garbage separation measures, so that the green products will return to the most appropriate position and play the best function, and let Pingtung get rid of the bad reputation of the last stage of resource recycling at an early date, and become a modern happy city with environmental literacy.
