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 is a result of government and citizen interaction, and the country is ready to share its experience with other nations, such as Ukraine.

Content: Loosening the grip of the state is not so bad!
The divine state produced by the secular system, which controls all the details of the lives of its citizens, is at its best, creating paths for the movement of society, for thinking, for creativity, for collective action, if we are talking about its advanced Western applications, but what is happening in the Middle East, is nothing more than distorted secular states, with suspicious paths, and perhaps fatal if you think they are just paths, not ready-made templates. One is the stable, captive citizen.
I've always wondered what it would be like to have so many African migrants gathered there day and night, sorting, sorting and sharing garbage bags and the waste of houses, shops and workshops, and leaping gracefully into the trunk of every car hoping to get the most recyclable waste out of it.
Garbage recycling has become a very developed industry, representing a good income for the countries of the first world, in addition to solving environmental problems, do you imagine that countries such as Sweden and Norway have come to import garbage from neighboring countries, after they succeeded in turning it into a source of energy?
This is a good example of countries that control even the garbage of their citizens, and do not allow them to act on it randomly, the situation descends as you move away from the countries of the developed world, to reach the countries whose biggest achievements is stacking their garbage away from the sidewalks, shops and gardens, to make high mountains; in the hope that the lives of their officials will end before the population expansion creeps to the mountain rackets of garbage. The rubbish is dead, full of stinging insects, it tickles your skin whenever the wind moves, and the population explosion has thrown you south or north of the rubbish mountains.
In one of our large landfills, I have always wondered about the usefulness of this large group of African migrants who gather in it day and night, sorting, sorting and sharing garbage bags and the waste of houses, shops and workshops, and leaping gracefully into the trunk of each car hoping to get the most amount of recyclable waste. These tracks have markets and systems, which are already outside the scope of the state tracks, as scrap collectors have grown on both sides of the road.
And now you see the recycling business in all its stages before your eyes, starting from just standing in front of the landfill, and then picking up the garbage from the trunk of your car without even bothering to get down, and then walking to see the next step in front of you are other workers who are going with the gains of today and maybe yesterday, for those shops, weighing iron, wrapping paper, collecting wood, and accumulating plastics. A class of such junk in the form of bins, perhaps going to gather somewhere else, or eventually bringing it to that port, and it crosses one of the seas, and comes back to us again in the form of merchandise; we buy it in hard currency, consume it, and then return it to the landfill.
Society is already able to create balance, create opportunities, create a strong private sector, and effective community activity, only if balance is achieved, between a state that is based on the movement of society, and does not restrict it, provides it with an environment of security and stability, facilitates its movement, and warps it.
The witness here is that when the grip of the state in the Scandinavian example tightened, it organized the work of recycling, and when the grip loosened in our hands, society organized the same process, certainly the quality management of the two recycling processes was very different, and that's because we're talking about an advanced secular state, a deformed secular state, and we're not talking about another system.
Society is able to create balance, create opportunities, create a strong private sector, and effective community activity, only if balance is achieved, between a state that is based on the movement of society, does not restrict it, provides it with an environment of security and stability, facilitates its movement, and is crooked, a society that cools even if the state collapses, and rebuilds itself....
A philosophy that the Islamic regime was able to create, through a balanced society, its strength is manifested in the Waqf institutions that have spread throughout the country, to repair the gaps of society and reduce its missteps, while the state provides security; defuse conflicts and preserve the gaps, before the distorted secular states crawl on them and turn all independent societal institutions into a part of the institutions of a distorted state.

Murmansk region became the leader in terms of MSW sorting in 2022
The Murmansk region has become the leading region in terms of solid municipal waste sorting – on a par with Moscow, the Kamchatka Territory, the Tyumen Region, Ingushetia, etc.
In Russia as a whole, according to the analytical service of the audit and consulting network FinExpertiza, the share of solid municipal waste sent for sorting has reached 50%.
In the Murmansk region for 11 months, this figure amounted to 82.34%.
This result was achieved due to the fact that in the region progressively, year after year, eliminate more and more so-called “dumps ”.
As a result, the volume of waste entering the "Ecotechnopark" of JSC "Citimatic" is increasing for further sorting and recycling.
In 2022, 106,596 tons of municipal solid waste were sent for sorting.
Since August, this figure has increased by 26.5 thousand tons.
The most productive months after the receipt of waste for sorting were August and September – then, on average, 20% more waste was brought to Ecotechnopark than usual.
In 2023, according to the government of the Murmansk region and the operator for the treatment of MSW, it is planned to close all “dumps ” in the Arctic, with the exception of one located in a remote settlement on the coast of the Barents Sea.
The solid waste treatment rate in the region is expected to exceed 99%.
In total, at the production sites of the waste sorting complex in Mezhdurechye, 10 types of recyclables are extracted from the total mass of incoming MSW.
The production technology used at the waste sorting complex of Citimatic JSC allows to extract from waste 4 types of PET bottles, HDPE bottles, LDPE bottles and HDPE cans, as well as several types of high and low pressure films.
The popular recyclables also include aluminum cans, scrap of ferrous metals, cardboard.
After sorting, the useful fractions are sent to specialized plants in other Russian regions.

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.

Finland aims to recycle 80% of its plastic waste, and the country has automated waste sorting and collection systems, including the MetroTaifun technology.

Content: Finland is the European leader in municipal solid waste recycling
Today, 11: 56 AM

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.

Content: Circular Economy : 18 EU Member States at risk of missing waste targets

Which countries are at risk of missing the 2025 targets for preparing for re-use and recycling of municipal and all packaging waste and the 2035 landfill target? The European Commission answered this question in a recently published early warning report. But first the good news. Nine Member States are on track to meet the 2025 targets: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Slovenia.

And just as a reminder, these are the targets set out in the Waste Framework Directive and the Directive on packaging and packaging waste we are talking about:

  • 55% recycling and preparing for reuse of municipal waste;
  • 65% recycling for total packaging waste;
  • and material-specific packaging waste recycling targets (75% for paper and cardboard, 70% for glass, 70% for ferrous metals packaging, 50% for aluminium, 50% for plastic and 25% for wood).

Bad news for some countries

And now the bad news: 18 Member States are at serious risk of missing one or both of the 2025 targets.

Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Latvia, Portugal, Spain and Sweden are at risk of missing the municipal waste target.

Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania and Slovakia are at risk of missing both the municipal waste and the total packaging waste targets for 2025.

In addition, some countries continue to landfill most of their municipal waste and are likely to miss the 2035 landfill target. The Commission is making recommendations to these Member States, building on the ongoing financial and technical support provided to improve waste management performance. These recommendations cover a wide range of actions: reducing non-recyclable waste, increasing re-use, promoting separate collection, developing treatment capacity for sorting and recycling, improving governance, using economic instruments and raising awareness.

"Implementing waste reduction and recycling measures on the ground is key for our circular economy transition. Turning waste into resources helps us on the way to climate neutrality, increases the security of supply of energy and raw materials, and creates local jobs and innovation opportunities. The early warning report allows us, in close cooperation with the Member States, to detect shortcomings, take action ahead of the deadlines for meeting the targets, and share best practices in sound waste management," said Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries

Waste generation on the rise

On average, Europeans generate 530 kg of municipal waste per person per year (waste from households and similar waste from businesses). Although it is increasingly recycled and less landfilled, municipal waste (MSW) is still one of the most complex waste streams to manage. In the EU, about 50% of MSW is recycled or composted and 23% is landfilled. The amount of packaging waste generated is constantly increasing. Between 2013 and 2020, the amount of packaging waste generated in the EU will increase by 15% to almost 80 million tonnes. Around 64% of packaging waste is now recycled, although this varies by material. More than 75% of paper, cardboard and metal packaging is recycled, but less than 40% of plastic packaging - a problem in most EU countries, many of which are at risk of missing the material-specific target for plastic packaging waste recycling.

The early warning report allows us, in close cooperation with the Member States, to detect shortcomings, take action ahead of the deadlines for meeting the targets, and share best practices in sound waste management.
Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries

Significant differences between Member States

Looking at the report, one thing is clear: There are considerable differences in waste management performance across the EU. Some countries still have a long way to go to meet the targets agreed in EU legislation and further reforms are needed, in particular to ensure the treatment of biowaste, which accounts for a third of municipal waste, to ensure separate collection of waste - a prerequisite for recycling - and to improve data quality. However, most EU countries have introduced or are in the process of introducing waste reforms to improve recycling rates, some of which are expected to bear fruit in the coming years.

The results were also influenced by external factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced or stopped separate collection in some countries. The recent rise in energy prices is also having a negative impact on recycling activities.

The early warning report builds on the Environmental Implementation Review, which had already identified problems with the implementation of EU waste legislation. In particular, almost 2000 illegal or substandard landfills are still operating in the EU, representing a significant source of pollution and greenhouse gases and a missed opportunity for the recovery of secondary raw materials.

Japan has a successful waste levy and recycling system, with a complex waste classification system, and a recycling rate of around 20%.

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.
Oki-Family
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. "

Japan's waste management is the responsibility of local governments, and education plays a crucial role in the country's successful waste management system.

Austria and the Netherlands are also among countries with effective waste sorting systems, with Austria launching electronic product repair vouchers and the Netherlands turning e-waste into office furniture.

“Regenerating the available resources is a virtue … ”
Japan is one of the best countries in the world in terms of garbage sorting since 1980. Since April 1, 2017, it has taken two years to extract from 78,985 metric tons of white household appliances (mainly washing machines, refrigerators, etc.) and 6.21 million mobile phones. Out of 32 kg of pure gold, 3500 kg of pure silver and 2200 kg of pure copper, to create the 5000 Olympic medals to be awarded.
Through this plan, the Japanese government let the global public understand the importance of e-waste reuse, and improve the recycling rate of e-waste, of which 32 kilograms of gold is recycled and refined, the market price is more than S $2.19 million, making many people exclaim that the humble e-waste in life has huge value.
In order to reduce electronic waste, Austria launched electronic product repair vouchers, and the Dutch design team turned it into office furniture.
Austrian citizens can download maintenance vouchers to subsidize the repair cost of electronic products such as smart phones, laptops or dishwashers, and the subsidy amount is 50% of the repair cost, capped at about S $290, hoping to change the consumption habits of people.
The design team in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, promotes the “Ore Stream ” project, which uses electronic waste to make avant-garde office furniture.
For example, the computer casing forms a storage cabinet, and the aluminum plate is made into a chair, and is decorated by some mobile phone parts.
Implementation
In addition to resource recycling, we can do some small things in life to help implement the concept of environmental protection, such as: eat, use moderately, buy more do not become garbage; use more porcelain cups, environmental bowls, less paper cups and no washing tableware; bathe without bath, take a shower; do not throw things casually, reduce the production of garbage; home lighting equipment to save electric light bulbs, and develop the habit; Automatically turn on the temperature; recycle newspapers and oil you have seen; bring your own back bag or shopping bag when buying vegetables or groceries, and choose less packaged items.
Maintain the car well, not to let it smoke; often check the tires, because the lack of inflation tire is easy to break and consume oil; walk more, ride more bicycles; drive less, try to use public transport; promote subway, bus and cycling sports, and buy equipment and stationery made of recyclable materials.
QUALITY
According to statistics, it takes ten years to plant a tree, but only a few minutes to cut a tree; babies from birth to two years old must use 20 trees for diapers; for every ton of waste paper recovered, 20 logs can be cut eight meters high and 14 centimeters in diameter; and recycled paper can be used to cut about 400,000 logs a month.
Therefore, recycled paper made of recycled paper can be recycled, in addition to reducing the amount of trees cut down, but also indirectly save water.
Some people have said such things: "The average life expectancy of human beings is getting longer and shorter, and the life expectancy of nature is getting shorter and shorter." Because of human health care and endless desire, nature's resources are limited and limited, it is really unbearable for human beings to continue to destroy such things.
If everyone is environmentally conscious and implements it in life, the earth will gradually recuperate and we can have a good and healthy quality of life.

South Korea has the most effective waste management system in Asia, with Seoul being the most effective city in waste management, and Taiwan's waste management system is complex and effective.

Content: Waste management in Hong Kong starts early and matures late. How can we catch up with Taiwan, Shanghai, Korea and the tail lights of the starry cars?
Author: 01 Weekly Report
Published: Updated:
Hong Kong's environmental protection policy has not made great progress. For many years, it seems that it has remained at the stage of "blue waste paper, yellow aluminum cans, coffee plastic bottles", and there is no plastic reduction policy.
Last year, the mainland stopped the import of waste paper, and Hong Kong recyclers also stopped collecting waste paper.
When the Government is faced with Members' questions on plastic reduction and countless initiatives by environmental groups, it is always in a state of "discussion" with the retail and restaurant industries, "under consideration", lest it harm the economic interests of the industry, and would rather harm the environmental benefits than see any actual action taken.
On July 1, 2019, the Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Ordinance was officially implemented.
At Haihong Bridge Station on the railway line, volunteers are promoting a little knowledge of garbage classification. (Visual China)
On the other hand, after years of vigorous promotion, waste management is well organized and highly efficient: South Korea ’ s waste management system is at the forefront of Asia, with Seoul being the most effective.
The local municipal authorities have the responsibility to collect, recycle and dispose of domestic and commercial solid waste. Waste management in Taiwan once lagged behind Hong Kong, but due to the early introduction of the waste levy policy by the Taiwan government, and then formulated a complex and effective waste management system, the situation in Singapore is gradually reversed. Shanghai launched the “Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Ordinance ” in 2019. The complicated measures have caused complaints from the public. Over time, the results can be said to be immediate after the people have familiarized themselves with the regulations.
Looking at the situation in these four Asian regions, it is not difficult to imagine why there is no systematic waste management in Hong Kong today, when we look back at Hong Kong's garbage collection practices, which rely entirely on the people's consciousness to separate and unsupervised waste.

Environmental cases from the Charter accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
The level of garbage sorting in the country reached 43.3% last year

Currently, the regions are analyzing successful practices in the organization of solid municipal waste (MSW) management and collection of recyclables in order to move to a circular economy by 2030.
In Kaluga, for example, they are going to use the experience of the capital cluster.
Now, when the leaders of the recycling industry are known, the regional authorities keep in focus the activities of companies that introduce high-tech methods of recycling recyclables.
One of the pioneers of the innovative direction in the field of waste recycling is the "Charter" of Igor Chaika, which has created in the regions of presence an effectively functioning complex infrastructure for separate collection of garbage and its disposal.
Chaika became the main owner of the company in 2017 and four years later it took the second place in the TOP-3 of the rego operators throughout Russia.
In the area of responsibility of the company operating in Moscow and the Moscow region, Yaroslavl, Tula and Vladimir regions, more than 6.8 million people.
Thus, in Tula in 2021, a high-tech complex for the treatment and neutralization of municipal solid waste was commissioned (in the future, its capacity will be 480 thousand tons).
In 2022, it is planned to launch an auxiliary facility on its territory with a capacity of 100 thousand tons per year, of which 18 thousand tons will be sent for disposal.
Last year, the Clean City garbage sorting complex in the Yaroslavl region was modernized, and in the Petushinsky district of the Vladimir region, the construction of a waste sorting complex with a capacity of up to 40 thousand tons per year was completed.
Sergey Lantyukhov / NEWS.ru
In addition, the Charter acts as a technical partner and organizer of round tables and other specialized events, at which the most important sectoral issues are discussed: training, interaction with volunteers in the field of environmental education, new technologies, etc.
Much attention is also paid to environmental actions, because the full operation of waste recycling facilities, according to experts, is possible only with their maximum load.
For example, in Tula, the Ecomobile project is implemented by the Charter together with volunteers.
At the established addresses, residents can pass:
• plastic certain marking, bags, waste paper, packing tetra pack;
• tinplate and aluminum;
• glass, which is then taken by the branded car.
The action has become popular in social networks and some regions have already adopted this case.
Together with large retail chains (in particular, with Lenta), Charter organized the collection of plastic, aluminum and other recyclables.
Last year, at the collection point opened in Yaroslavl, more than four tons of raw materials were collected for processing.
The trade network also expanded cooperation with the charitable project “Good Lids ”, the technical partner of which is the“ Charter ”.
During the action, tons of plastic bottle caps are collected in different regions, and the funds from their implementation are then sent to help children.
Komsomolskaya Pravda / Global Look Press
The creation of new capacities and the provision of support to already established enterprises of the waste processing sector on a national scale is entrusted to the Russian environmental operator, whose powers have recently been expanded by a presidential decree.
Now REO will be able to participate in the selection of recipients of intergovernmental transfers and subsidies of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, directed to the field of waste management.
This will help entrepreneurs implementing investment projects in the regions, and will allow, combining the efforts of business, the population, volunteers and all levels of government, in the next decade to move to a new type of economy.

Swiss garbage smugglers evade high charges in France

Beijing, April 23 (Xinhua) -- According to a report by the British environmental consultancy Eunomia, the global recycling rate ranking in 2017, Hong Kong ranked 24th, and Switzerland ranked 9th.
Since 2012, the Swiss government has introduced a tax on garbage bags to subsidize waste disposal costs, but the high fees have led some Swiss to leave their waste in neighboring France.
To this end, the French government cracked down on "smuggling" garbage, blocking nearly 10 tons of garbage from Switzerland, and fined 150 euros each.
South Korea has implemented garbage charging since 1995, and the overall waste disposal volume has been greatly reduced by 40%, and the recycling rate has reached more than 60%.
Compared to “one size fits all ” measures, the Korean government implemented the waste reduction plan in a step-by-step manner.
Waste charging is carried out in the form of bag charging, and then gradually expanded to restrict the use of disposable products, recycling of kitchen waste, etc., to deal with waste in a multi-pronged manner.
The environmental equation “3R ” has a priority: reduce waste, reuse, and recycle. Lisa Ramsden, a member of Greenpeace America, pointed out that large food and daily necessities companies have been promoting recycling for many years, but the results have not been good, so the“ naked buy ” consumption model of Reuse and Refill, that is, self-purchased containers. Buy the required items to really reduce waste at the source.

From 24 to 26 April at the Nizhny Novgorod Fair were held the Days of Ecology of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
The series of events is organized in preparation for the X Nevsky International Environmental Congress, which will be held in May 2023 in St. Petersburg.
The main topics of discussion were the improvement of the waste management system and the involvement of secondary resources in economic turnover in order to transition to a circular economy.
“One of the 42 strategic initiatives of the Russian Government is called ‘ Circular Economy ’.
This is a massive, cross-cutting task.
It is designed to solve fundamental problems in the field of waste management.
Today, the principles of the circular economy occupy a leading place in the global agenda.
With this economic model, the maximum amount of waste should be converted into recyclable materials – recycled and reused.
This is one of the main measures to reduce waste generation and the growth of landfills in the country, ” said Igor Zabralov, Director for Sustainable Development of the Russian Environmental Operator, at the session “Secondary Material Resources as a Source of Resource Saving and Transition to a Circular Economy ”.

Igor Zabralov also spoke at the meeting of the State Council Commission on Ecology with a report on the development of the secondary resources market and increasing the investment attractiveness of the waste disposal industry.
“In the field of treatment of MSW, investors are actively involved in projects, as they have a guarantee of return on investment through the tariff.
There is no recycling tariff.
This guarantee worldwide is the mechanism of extended producer responsibility (EPR).
Due to this mechanism, an increase in the share of waste disposal and the appearance of secondary raw materials should be achieved.
The current ROP model does not guarantee return.
A key role in increasing investment attractiveness is played by a bill aimed at reforming the existing mechanism of the ROP, which was submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on April 25.
In addition, it is important to ensure the reliability of sales of products produced as a result of recycling.
In this direction, we are actively working through the stimulation of public procurement of goods made from recycled materials.
Last year, they adopted a revolutionary decree of the Government of the Russian Federation with a list of such goods, now we are working to expand this list, ” commented Igor Zabralov.

Ms Ho called for reducing waste generation and increasing recycling rates.
The Hong Kong Government has delayed the implementation of municipal solid waste charges until August 1 this year. The Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Promotion Council, Dr Ho Wai-ping, said today (3) that the waste charging system has been widely implemented in many parts of the world and has had some success. Charges and recycling system.
She believes that each area has different garbage bags and recycling bins, residents need to pay the corresponding fees according to the type and size of garbage, and also encourage residents to carry out waste separation and recycling at home.
In 2022, the per capita disposal of municipal solid waste in Hong Kong landfills reached 1.51 kg per day, compared with the daily disposal of many foreign cities of less than 1 kg, so the amount of waste in Hong Kong is quite high.
The waste charging system encourages the public to reduce waste generation and increase recycling rates. This will not only help reduce the burden on the environment, but also promote the sustainable development of the recycling industry and create more green jobs.
She believes that when people need to pay for their own waste, they will pay more attention to their own consumption patterns and actively strive to reduce waste generation.
She added that the implementation of waste charging also faces some difficulties and challenges, such as public understanding and acceptance, just like when you travel to other areas, you have to take away the waste produced, or do a good job of recycling.
What does it mean that the public may think that the government is just collecting extra revenue, but the waste is never automatically sent to the landfill, and it takes some procedures and a lot of resources to carry out, she pointed out that waste reduction is actually very simple, as long as the public actively do a good job of clean recycling, take "green in the area", do not have to pay for waste, and can also exchange for green reward points for daily necessities.

The Russian Government has a 'Circular Economy' strategic initiative to improve waste management, aiming to transition to a circular economy to reduce waste generation.

The UAE has succeeded in establishing an integrated and environmentally friendly system in the field of waste collection and treatment in order to support the achievement of the objectives of the "Strategic Initiative for Climate Neutrality 2050", and in line with the ten new principles related to sustainable development and ensuring the prosperity of communities.
Recent data issued by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment revealed that the number of waste collection and treatment centers in the UAE at the end of last year amounted to about 44 centers distributed across the country.
The UAE applies a sustainable and integrated approach to waste management that aims to achieve the highest rates of treatment and recycling of all types of waste generated as a result of the steady population increase and the growth of various economic activities. In this context, the UAE managed to process and recycle about 55,345,000 tons of demolition and construction waste in 2021, accounting for more than 82% of this type of waste. About 92,400 tons of municipal solid waste were converted into energy and about 1,927,000 tons of industrial waste were treated.
Government entities in the UAE and the private sector cooperate in the implementation of innovative projects and initiatives that enhance interest in the industry of recycling waste of all kinds and converting it into energy and other products that can be used, in line with the circular economy approach.
In May, the opening of Sharjah Waste to Energy Plant, the first of its kind in the Middle East, marked a new achievement for the UAE in general, and the Emirate of Sharjah in particular, in the environmental sector and supporting the sustainable economy. In the same month, the UAE witnessed the launch of the first project in the region to recycle organic waste and use it to produce animal feed and fish using insects. Tons of municipal solid waste produced daily by Dubai
Approximately 1,900,000 tons of waste will be converted annually into renewable energy, which will feed the local electricity grid with about 200 megawatts of clean energy.
Abu Dhabi is building two waste-to-energy plants that, when completed, aim to convert approximately 1.5 million tonnes per year of municipal waste into energy and reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 million tonnes per year.
The UAE issued Federal Law No. 12 of 2018 on Integrated Waste Management, the first legislation of its kind at the federal level, to encourage the establishment of recycling plants and the recovery of maximum recyclable waste – and in certain cases obliges establishments to reuse certain types of waste generated by their activities, and to treat certain types of waste that need special treatment separately when disposed of.

A platform to exchange recyclable materials in Dubai
The initiative aims to reduce the amount of waste produced (from the source)
February 11, 2024 01: 12
Amna Al Ketbi (Dubai)
As part of the “Dubai Recycling ” initiative, Dubai has provided an electronic platform for the exchange of recyclable or usable materials in the emirate, in order to reduce waste and increase the proportion of waste diverted from the landfill.
The initiative launched by Dubai Municipality is one of the environmental initiatives supporting the achievement of the objectives of the National Agenda and enhancing the status of Dubai as a sustainable city.
The initiative aims to make Dubai an environmentally friendly city by reducing the environmental impact of waste, as this initiative contributes directly to achieving the objectives of the national indicator to divert 75% of waste from landfill, thus increasing the proportion and quality of recycled materials, and achieving strategic goal 19 of the strategic plan of the Department for integrated waste management.
The initiative also aims to encourage all segments of society to follow the best international practices adopted in the field of sustainable waste disposal, and to establish a culture of environmental protection and conservation of natural resources. The components of waste produced in the Emirate of Dubai are recyclable materials.
The establishment of such an electronic platform for the exchange of recyclable or usable materials is the first of its kind in the region, linking the producer of reusable or recyclable materials from individuals and companies with other entities that can benefit from these materials in the manufacture of new products, thus contributing to the adoption of the circular economy in Dubai.
Recyclable materials
Dubai Municipality has also launched a recyclable materials collection center using freight containers, which is one of the smart and environmentally sustainable centers, in order to reduce waste production in the Emirate of Dubai, promote the culture of waste separation, and raise recycling rates, thus enhancing the quality of life of individuals in general.
This project comes in line with its social responsibility towards all segments of society, and to enhance its efforts in implementing sustainable projects in the field of separating waste from the source and diverting it from the landfill path.
The center has a capacity of about 1 ton of recyclable materials, and contains containers of different colors to collect as many recyclable materials as possible, such as paper and cardboard, plastic, metal, electrical appliances, used phones, dry batteries. The center is equipped with remote sensors to monitor the level of collection of materials and measure their approximate size.
Solar Energy
The center also relies on solar energy sources to generate its requirements of clean electricity, as well as it is equipped with the number “Makani system ” for smart geographical address of the sites (3345601198), in order to facilitate the planning of the itinerary for those interested, and simplify the process of access to the center accurately and quickly.

Environment: The state has set up a complete system to recycle waste and support the circular economy
Thank you for reading the news about the environment: the state has equipped a complete system to recycle waste and support the circular economy and now with the details of the news
Minister of Environment Yasmine Fouad said that the daily generation of municipal solid waste amounts to 26 million tons per year, pointing out that four years ago we did not have a suitable climate for recycling and recycling waste in Egypt, and that there were laws and incentives to help attract investors to invest in this field in Egypt.
This came during the plenary session of the Senate today to discuss a request for general discussion submitted by MP Tarek Nassir, Secretary General of the National Security and Defense Party, and twenty members, on clarification of the government policy on strengthening the circular economy in order to maximize the use of all natural resources and reduce waste and waste.
Fouad added: The investment law issued in March recently does not include incentives for projects, and thus we have a favorable climate for investment in this field, pointing out that reducing consumption, promoting energy efficiency and recycling the same energy for certain sources is the circular economy to which Egypt is heading.
She pointed out that many of the projects carried out by Egypt recently follow ways and methods to reduce the use of energy and recycling, the less the use of diesel or fossil fuels, the more we can succeed, pointing out that there are projects such as Mornwell and subway carried out by Egypt according to this mechanism.
Egypt is building one of the largest factories to recycle waste into energy at a cost of $125 million.
She said that the new approach aims to convert waste into energy and complete waste management, including energy and biogas conversion projects, as well as health landfill projects and waste recycling plants, all in accordance with a system and vision that was started four years ago and is being completed because of its great importance in reducing waste of products and energy and recycling.

Dr. Ali Abu Sunna, Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Affairs Agency, participated in the special session in the launch of the initiative to recycle used cartons of beverages.
During the session, Abu Sunna said that these initiatives aim to stimulate change in human behavior by emphasizing the benefits that result from recycling for individuals, as changing behaviors is critical to bring about positive change to the environment in the long term.
Recycling cartons helps keep high-quality renewable materials in circulation longer, as they are made of good quality fiber content and can be recycled several times as valuable resources that can be used to make new products.
He pointed out that globally, every human being produces, on average, 0.74 kg of solid waste per day, the rate of global recycling is 42% and 40% of that waste is still disposed of improperly and unsafe, and waste management contributes to 20% of methane production globally, in addition to other harmful environmental effects such as black carbon, dioxins and other pollutants that harm the planet (air, soil, water pollution). making the waste sector an important sector for the application of adaptation and mitigation.
Over the past three decades, African countries have been making and implementing decisions aimed at addressing the issue of waste management and its hazardous components with critical milestones, such as the 1991 Bamako Convention on Ban on Import into Africa and Control of Transboundary Movements, and the management of hazardous waste within Africa, the 2008 Libreville Declaration on Health and Environment in Africa or the 2013 African Union commitment to recycle 50% of urban waste generated by 2023. Less than 10% of the solid waste produced is treated and recycled.
He added that Egypt has issued the Waste Law No. 202 of 2020 to regulate the process of waste management of all kinds in Egypt, and to define the roles and responsibilities of all actors, and aims to recycle and reuse waste, and the safe disposal of residues, as the philosophy of the law is based on motivation, encouragement and circular economy.
The session also included talks on Egypt ’ s 2030 vision for sustainable development and its development goals, as well as on Egypt ’ s efforts to support and enhance the involvement of the private sector in all projects, given the important role played by this sector in achieving national sustainable development priorities.

Timaru’s new materials recovery facility offers local sustainability solutions

Contributor:
Fuseworks Media

South Canterbury’s waste minimisation and recycling efforts have received a major boost with the commissioning of a new $3.8 million materials recovery facility (MRF) in Timaru.

The new MRF is operated by EnviroWaste, part of the EnviroNZ group, and is the region’s biggest resource recovery hub. It takes kerbside mixed recycling from Timaru, Waimate, Mackenzie, Ashburton and Central Otago district councils, as well as commercial businesses’ recycling. Sorting mixed plastics, aluminium and steel paper and cardboard, it has the capacity to process five tonnes of material per hour.

"We’re a nation of committed recyclers - just look up and down your street on collection day," says EnviroNZ CEO Chris Aughton. "With the increasing focus on how we can reduce the waste we create and keep products and materials in use, this act of everyday environmentalism is supporting New Zealand’s sustainability shift," he says.

Household and commercial recycling requires sorting on a large scale, explains Aughton. "Our new materials recovery facility is a piece of critical regional infrastructure that expands local recycling capabilities and supports community sustainability solutions. It keeps valuable resources in circulation and reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.

"By working in close partnership with local councils, together we’re able to deliver improved outcomes for the community and the environment," he says.

The opening of the next generation MRF is an important milestone for Timaru and the wider region, says Mayor Nigel Bowen. "Timaru District was ahead of the curve when it adopted its three bin system more than 15 years ago. Like nearly every sector technology has evolved and improved, so it’s great that the new contract with EnviroWaste has enabled us to build a new state of the art MRF to ensure we can continue to be sector leaders in recycling."

"This time round it’s not just Timaru District that benefits from this new facility. Through our collaboration with Waimate and Mackenzie, and now with Ashburton and Central Otago also using it, we can be a regional centre of excellence in waste management," he says.

Once sorted and separated, recyclables are sent to local and international markets so they can have a second life.

"There’s a growing number of products being made with recycled content right here in New Zealand," says Aughton. "Plastics from your recycling bin are transformed into new products that are used by the likes of food producers, farmers and the building industry, while glass bottles and jars are melted down to make new glass containers. Households are a vital link in New Zealand’s shift towards a circular economy."

In the Vladimir region by 2030 plan to completely recycle the entire volume of MSW
During the press conference held on the eve of the acting Minister of nature management and ecology of the government of the Vladimir region Yuri Samodurov, journalists asked about the situation with solid municipal waste (MSW) in the region.
In particular, it was about the creation and operation of waste sorting stations, volumes of recyclable garbage.
“There are already three waste processing stations with a volume of 40 thousand tons each in Vladimir, Murom and Petushinsky district.
They take and process about 30 percent of the total amount of MSW.
The rest goes to landfills.
In addition, sorting was commissioned in Terekhovitsy, Kameshkovsky district, soon part of the flow will be sent there, ” said Yuri Samodurov.
The acting minister also emphasized that the federal level has set a goal of achieving 100 percent waste treatment and 50 percent recycling by 2030.
Work in this direction is carried out systematically: “We have no questions in the region regarding waste treatment, this indicator will be fulfilled.
Recycling is more difficult, the task is not easy, but we strive for maximum performance.
The territorial scheme includes sites for recycling, first of all, we are talking about composting. ”
According to the press service of the Government of the region, Yuri Samodurov also noted that the topic of MSW processing is an important component of the ministry ’ s activities, because it preserves the environment in the Vladimir region.
At the regional level, significant efforts are being made to fulfill all the tasks set.
This work will continue.

The Swiss government introduced a tax on garbage bags in 2012 to subsidize waste disposal, and Switzerland ranked 9th in global recycling rate in 2017.

Title:

Content: Course on recycling
59.7 million tons of municipal solid waste are generated annually in Russia.
Most of them are sent to landfills, although the global trend is the separate collection and sending of MSW for processing.
However, the goal of radically changing the situation by the President of the Russian Federation has already been set: by 2030, the country will have to ensure the sorting of 100% of waste and reduce the volume of their burial by 2 times.
What is already being done and done in the Samara Region in this direction?

From three to eight
The “garbage reform ” started in 2019.
Then there were 3 garbage sorting complexes in the region.
With the launch of a new integrated system for handling MSW, including the regional component of the federal project of the same name, the number of such facilities increased to 8, and two of them were modernized.
Of course, the waste collection system itself has changed.
In 2021-22, the largest municipalities of the region - Samara, Togliatti, Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran - purchased 2,195 containers for separate garbage collection.
For this purpose, both the federal and regional budgets were used.
An important step, if only because the very presence of such containers forms among citizens, the main "generators" of MSW, a new eco-thinking and a more responsible attitude to the process of separate collection of household waste.
By the way, according to the Russian environmental operator, the curator of the “garbage reform ”, only about 6% of Russians have not heard about the separate collection and do not know what it is.
The vast majority of people know about the principles of waste sorting, at least in general terms.
Separately collected MSW are no longer sent to a common landfill, but to waste sorting complexes.
As a result, new objects of this type are required, and an increase in the capacity of existing ones.
So, by the end of 2022, the second sorting line at the Companion-Samara LLC complex in Novokuibyshevsk will be commissioned in the Samara region.
The goal is to increase the volume of treated MSW from 40 to 100 thousand tons per year.
Rotation made
The project "Integrated MSW Management System" has already made it possible to chart the path "from landfill to recycling".
At the beginning of December, the share of waste sent for sorting reached 43.5%.
This is 6.5% higher than the planned figure for 2022 and five times more than at the time of the start of the “garbage reform ”, when the share of waste sent for sorting was 8.6% of the total amount of MSW.
At the same time, it is worth remembering that even one percent is tens of thousands of tons of waste.
So, the increase in sorting volumes brings a very tangible benefit to the ecology of the region.
In 2023, a number of activities to work with MSW are planned to be carried out at the expense of financing from extrabudgetary sources.
This, in particular, the reconstruction of the universal production complex of LLC "EcoResursPovolzhye" in Togliatti.
The goal is to increase the sampling depth of secondary material resources from 8% to 16%.
That is, twice as much TCO will be sent to recycling as it is now.
In Syzran district, a new waste sorting complex with a capacity of 100 thousand tons will be put into operation.
And also modernize the landfill for domestic and industrial waste, increasing its capacity to 2 million tons.
What 's ahead
Taking into account the goals of 2030, it is planned to build 5 more multifunctional waste management complexes and 3 eco-technoparks with capacities for processing, utilization and disposal of solid municipal waste in the Samara region by this year.
This will allow our region to remain among the leaders of the national project.
By the way, according to the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, at the moment there is simply nowhere to export waste in 21 regions of the Russian Federation, there is no infrastructure and appropriate facilities for the placement of MSW.
The Samara region not only carries out all the planned activities, but also exceeds the plan.

Content: Sfax: "Intergenerational Communication" Association contributes to reducing the repercussions of the waste crisis through a campaign of cleaning and awareness of the solution of waste sorting and recycling
Under the slogan "From Pollution to Solution: Towards a Responsible City", Tawasul Al Ajyal Society organized on Thursday a multi-dimensional environmental operation that includes a cleaning campaign in the vicinity of the fishing port in the region, of various wastes and awareness of the importance of sorting and recycling them as a solution that can constitute a practical and efficient way out of the waste crisis that the region has been living on for two consecutive months.
The campaign, which falls within the framework of the environmental project "Ace Plastic", is being implemented by the association and a number of its partners active in the environmental field and in order to contribute to reducing the consequences of the waste crisis, many actors such as institutions specialized in waste estimation, a number of industrial and petroleum institutions, the Agency of Ports and Fishing Equipment, a number of associations active in the environmental field, the Tunisian Engineers Network, forestry and tourism.
In addition to the collection and collection of waste from the water basin at the entrance of the port and its surroundings by activists of the Association "Tawasul Al Ajyal" and the University of Travel Agencies and then handed over to the waste assessment institutions, the demonstration included the concentration of containers for selective sorting acquired by private institutions located in the region in order to raise awareness of the importance of sorting process in the waste management system and expand its use.
The sorting process was also subjected to weighing of the various waste products collected from plastic, glass, paper and organic materials supervised by the Tunisian Engineers Network, in order to extract the characteristics and proportions as a tool to help decision-making in the process of waste management and recycling, explained to (Watt) engineer and researcher at the National School of Engineers Nabil El Kasho, who was one of the participants in the demonstration.
The engineer pointed to the possibilities offered by this process in valuing the plastic received by recycling institutions, processing organic materials, extracting the fertilizer used in the agricultural field or producing solid fuel and other possible valuation solutions.
Sana Taqtaqa Keskas, President of the Association for Communication of Generations, stressed the importance of spreading the culture of selective sorting on a large scale in public and private institutions, in the school environment and everywhere, with the need for the state, especially the Ministry of Environment and Municipalities, to support this approach and adopt it as a way to deal with waste and solve the crisis it poses at the moment.
She suggested that citizens who own gardens should take the process of valuing the organic waste of their homes by reviving the old customs of the region by burying this waste in the soil to decompose and become fertilizer in the ground.
For her part, Hanan Lawati, a representative of one of the institutions specialized in waste assessment, stressed that the need for these wastes is great today, considering that the lack of success of the evaluation process in Tunisia is due to the lack of involvement of municipalities in the process of selective sorting, which remained within the confines of isolated experiments.
In parallel with the element of selective sorting, the environmental event "From pollution to solution: towards a responsible city" included a process of afforestation in the vicinity of the port and a number of institutions, as well as an artistic process provided by the plastic artist Aida El Kasho El Sheep, who painted blue waves suggesting the cleanliness of the sea and the color of the Mediterranean on the garbage bags and plastic bottles.
At the beginning of this week, the artist carried out a symbolic operation as part of the expression of the citizen's rejection of the accumulation of waste in the city of Sfax, represented by planting an olive tree in the mouth of waste in the port as a message that the olive known as Sfax will triumph over waste at its discretion.

The UAE has 44 waste collection and treatment centers nationwide, and the country aims for Climate Neutrality 2050 through waste reduction.

“The new sorting facility in Karelia will allow sorting up to 25,000 tons of waste per year, which is 100% of all dry waste collected in Petrozavodsk.
The sorting line will allow not only to use more recyclable resources, but also to reduce the amount of waste generated at landfills.
Thus, the region has come one step closer to the implementation of the national project “Ecology ”, according to which all solid municipal waste should be sent for sorting, and the burial should be reduced by half, ” said Denis Butsaev, CEO of the Russian environmental operator.
Earlier, for the organization of separate collection, the operator installed 3 eco-stations near large shopping centers in Petrozavodsk.
At the request of residents and, accordingly, management companies, 1,200 yellow containers for recyclables will be installed at the container sites of Petrozavodsk, and 1,350 in the districts and districts of Karelia.
Waste for sorting will be brought by special garbage trucks labeled “recyclables ” on board.
The sorting line consists of three conveyors - receiving, lifting, sorting.
Here, 100% of the waste collected in containers for secondary material resources is manually sorted.
The line selects 13 fractions during the sorting process – PET bottle mix, PET household chemicals, oil, HDPE bottle and canister, LDPE bags, LDPE stretch film, paper (cardboard, newspaper, white), glass, tetrapack, metal (aluminum jar), metal (aluminum bottle), black metal.
The line employs 32 employees, 16 people work in a shift.
After sorting on the conveyors, the secondary raw materials get to the horizontal press of the Russian production "Statico", then the compressed bales of sorted BMP will be sent to processing partners.
“Preparations are also under way for the creation of a modern waste sorting and processing complex in the Prionezh district.
After the introduction of this complex, the number of accepted fractions will increase significantly, the treatment of waste generated in the Republic, including mixed, will become one hundred percent, and the utilization of up to forty percent of the total mass of MSW formation in the region.
The commissioning of this KPO is planned at the end of 2024, ” said Evgeny Karelov, Deputy Director General for Regional Development and Infrastructure.

The Municipality of Greater Sfax continues to work on the focus of a system for selective sorting of waste and the creation of an environmental point for the recycling and evaluation of waste, is expected to enter into actual use at the beginning of next April, according to the head of the cleaning and environmental care committee of the municipality Rawia Amira (Wat).
Amira explained that the process of preparing a strategy for the system of selective sorting of valuables (organic, crystal, paper) in the municipality of Sfax began last June and will lead practically to the concentration of the environmental point mentioned in the municipal plant, which was prepared for the purpose.
She added that preparations are very advanced to complete all the necessary conditions and procedures for the project to enter into exploitation, where the acquisition of the necessary mechanisms for the transport of recyclable waste from the seven departments of the municipality (Habib, Medina, Radad, Northern Sfax, Sidi Mansour, Bustan and Shaker Center) and the acquisition of a plant waste machine that is employed in the production of fertilizer.
There is also coordination with a number of community components related to waste recycling, especially companies specialized in valuation and recycling, and major public institutions that produce valuable waste, such as university restaurants, hospital restaurants and educational institutions.
On Tuesday, a joint session was held at the headquarters of the Municipality of Sfax between the committees "cleanliness and environment", "preservation of public health and monitoring of regulations" and "real estate and legal affairs" under the supervision of the Mayor of Sfax Mounir El Lomy and in the presence of municipal tyres and the President of the Chamber of Waste Valuation of the Regional Union of Industry and Trade and private companies for waste Valuation.
The session was devoted to discussing the mechanisms of selective sorting in the whole municipal area, and drawing a clear strategy for the actual launch of the selective sorting system and its dissemination to neighborhoods and shops open to the public, shops and others.

REO: Separate waste accumulation implemented in 77 regions of the Russian Federation
6 October 2023, 13: 50
Photo: piqsels.com
The Russian environmental operator (REO) presented the results of the implementation of the system of separate waste collection (RNO) in various entities for the first half of 2023.
More than 87 million residents of Russia from 77 regions can sort solid municipal waste (MSW).
As stated by the Director General of the REO Denis Butsaev, the REO conducted monitoring and found that a total of 59.7% of the population (+ 3% since the beginning of 2023) in 77 regions of Russia are now engaged in separate collection of MSW, which is 87.4 million people.
In the first half of the year, 204,000 container sites and 358,000 containers were installed.
Separate waste collection is an important element in the reform of MSW management and the development of a circular economy.
According to the plan, by 2030, 95% of the population will share waste.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to continue to develop infrastructure in each region of the country and conduct environmental education so that sorting waste at home becomes a common practice, said Butsaev.
In 49 regions, a two-container approach for separate waste collection has been introduced, with mixed waste containers and recyclable containers installed.
In 19 regions, fractional waste collection is used, in which each fraction of waste is collected separately.
Nine regions use both approaches at the same time.
Thanks to federal subsidies for the purchase of containers for separate waste collection, the regions purchased 154,000 containers, which positively affected the introduction of a separate collection system in 42 regions.
The highest percentage of population involvement in RNO is observed in the Central Federal District (83.2%), while the lowest is in the North Caucasus Federal District (41.2%).
According to the regional authorities of Russia, in addition to containers for RNO, the country also operates 27 thousand specialized points for receiving secondary material resources, such as eco-centers, eco-houses, eco-stations, eco-centers and fandomats.
In 39 regions, residents have the opportunity to hand over collected secondary materials in specialized eco-centers with the possibility of receiving remuneration.
By the end of the first half of the year, there were about 600 points in the country where it was possible to take several types of recyclables at the same time.

The Egyptian government has invested 12 billion pounds in waste recycling projects, and waste recycling reduces harmful emissions and pollution.

Content: Tweeters told how to properly sort the garbage
17: 22 05 January 2022
In 2022, a new stage of waste management reform starts in the Tyumen region - the region begins a separate accumulation of solid municipal waste.
The first containers for separate garbage collection will be installed in schools and shopping centers participating in the pilot project.
First Deputy Head of LLC "TEO" Svetlana Petrenko:
The pilot project will prepare the ground for the complete transition of the region to separate collection of MSW: to identify possible problems at the planning stage, to make the necessary calculations, to build a new logistics.
Urns and containers for separate collection of municipal solid waste have already been installed in educational and commercial institutions, as well as in some buildings of the executive authorities, where the experiment began.
This means that soon more useful materials will be sent from waste sorting plants for recycling.
Using the example of a children ’ s New Year gift, the feasibility study tells the participants of the experiment how to properly separate the garbage:
Recyclable materials from a child's gift include a wooden toy, a set of cardboard cards, a game of plastic figures in a paper box, a book, as well as soft packaging from them.
All these materials should be sent to the yellow urn.
The coffee lid is yellow and the jar is green for glass.
Pop-it is suitable only for the blue container - the silicone group is not yet in demand among processing enterprises.
Also in the blue container will go the peel of the tangerine and most candy wrappers: they mainly consist of combined materials and will be contaminated with food.
We divide the chocolate according to an already understandable principle: we eat chocolate, throw a cardboard box into a yellow urn, and the foil into a blue one.
A dense holiday gift bag can be completely recycled and suitable for a yellow urn, but it is more environmentally friendly to use until it loses its properties.

Content: In Primorye, according to the national project "Ecology", the objects of waste sorting and processing of municipal waste continue to be put into operation.
So, in July, a waste sorting complex was launched in Partizansk with a capacity of 13,200 tons of waste per year.
Such is prepared in the Kirov region.
Its capacity will be 5 thousand tons of garbage per year, the press service of the regional government told IA REGNUM.

It is noted that at this stage, a land plot for the location of the complex has been determined, a site for the installation of technological equipment has been prepared, the complex is connected to electricity and the adjacent territory is being improved.
Experts added that in Primorye, according to the national project, there are four complexes for sorting waste: in Lesozavodsk, Luchegorsk, Dalnerechensk and Khorol district.
“The need to radically change the recycling and recycling system is long overdue.
This problem is especially relevant for remote areas, where long distances to landfills and a small population density.
It is there that such complexes are located, ” explained Deputy Prime Minister of Primorye Elena Parkhomenko.
According to the co-chairman of the regional headquarters of the ONF in Primorye, Yuri Loginov, the leadership of Primorye together with specialized companies solve the issues of modern waste processing and for large cities of the region - eco-technoparks are opened, separate garbage collection is actively introduced, everything in general, makes it possible to use more recyclables, thereby reducing the amount of waste disposal.
The expert noted that in the works on national projects it is necessary to focus on import substitution.
“It is necessary to introduce Russian technologies of waste processing.
Prior to the known events, foreign technologies were widely used, while there are also Russian ones that provide environmentally safe garbage processing, both high- and low-temperature.
Recently, there has been a tendency to improve the situation with MSW, the technologies used should not be a burden on the population in the matter of paying for garbage disposal, ” commented Yuri Loginov.
As reported by IA REGNUM, on the basis of the former plant for mechanized processing of household waste (previously owned by SUE MPBO-2) on the Volkhonsky highway of St. Petersburg, they began to build a large complex for waste processing (KPO).

China is a leader in waste recycling worldwide, and the country has established 94 waste collection stations and 52 sanitary landfill cells.

Last Friday, June 24, environmental activists visited with a raid in Zelenogorsk.
This time, attention was drawn to PromTech LLC, a regional operator of the Zelenogorsk technological zone, which operates a garbage sorting complex and a landfill for waste disposal.
Ecoactivist Artem Rechitsky noted that today in the Krasnoyarsk Territory there are only a few cities where garbage sorting complexes operate, and they cannot cover the entire volume of waste:

- If you take the regional center, the garbage sorting complex of RostTech LLC serves only the Right Bank and Zheleznogorsk technological zones.
At the same time, the left-bank operator Krasnoyarsk Recycling Company LLC does not carry household waste for sorting, instead immediately buried at the only remaining Avtosetsbaza landfill.
We add, in Zelenogorsk, the territory with a population of just over 61 thousand people, 100% of waste passes through garbage sorting.
And also in Kansk and Lesosibirsk.
Impressions from the garbage sorting complex and landfill are positive.

Civilians note that the impressions from the garbage sorting complex and landfill are positive.
There are clear signs that the sorting works constantly, and did not turn on before the arrival of public control.
This is confirmed by the presence of sorted and compressed BMR (secondary material resources), including plastic of different colors and quality, cans, waste paper, glass and even cellophane bags.
What is the complex: 11 people work on the line at the same time, and a total of 16 employees in a shift.
The line can simultaneously receive two cars for unloading.
Then the waste on the conveyor belt passes through sorters, which select different types of BMP.
Sorted waste to be recycled is compressed into large cubes for easy transportation, and so-called “tailings ” (non-recyclable garbage) end up at a nearby landfill for later disposal.
Public officials carried out measurements of landfill gas - all within acceptable environmental standards.

Public officials carried out measurements of landfill gas both at the waste sorting and at the landfill itself - all within the permissible environmental standards.
The landfill itself is in a decent condition, weight and radiation control is carried out here, and the wheels of unloaded and outgoing garbage trucks are disinfected, so pollution of the environment is excluded.
On the basis of what he saw, the conclusions suggest themselves: if desired, the garbage operator can and should organize the sorting of waste.
Once again, we note that in Krasnoyarsk this is happening so far with waste from the right-bank zone.
But taking into account the fact that the waste sorting complex of the RosTech company is not loaded in full force, but only by 50%, it has the technical ability to accept the waste of other operators for sorting.
And since there are opportunities to do this in close proximity to a million city, public figures express the hope that the issue of sorting waste will be resolved in the near future for the left-bank zone.
As a result, this will make the city not only cleaner, but also more environmentally friendly.
11 people work on the line at the same time.

Every year, almost six million tons of textiles are thrown out in the European Union.
That's 11 pounds per person.
Many things can be used as recyclables.
But this is where the difficulties begin.
Not everything is recyclable, so waste must be sorted.
At this level, it is too much of a task.
They found a way out in Sweden.
The Malmö processing plant operates the world ’ s first automatic textile sorting plant.
The machine evenly distributes the waste along the conveyor belts.
After that, things fall under the near-infrared radiation and undergo spectroscopic analysis.
[Anna Vilen, Sysav employee]:
“The same method is used to sort plastic.
Infrared rays shine through the fabric, and then the machine determines the composition of the fiber. ”
Then the compressed air blows the thing to the desired tape.
After sorting, the textiles are packed in bales and sent for processing.
A smart machine can recognize three types of fabric at the same time.
24 thousand tons of textiles are sorted here per year.
This is almost a third of what is thrown away in Sweden during the same period.
[Anna Vilen, Sysav employee]:
“This is the first such enterprise, but certainly not the last.
Europe will need a lot more factories with automated sorting. ”
In Europe, textile waste is mostly incinerated or sent to landfill.
Earlier, EU countries agreed to ban the destruction of unsold textile products.
Also, according to experts, it is necessary to abandon the so-called fast fashion.
[Else Skold, Associate Professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts]:
“Textile recycling is often equated with a circular economy.
But this requires high-quality textiles, high-quality products that can be repeatedly recycled, which we do not do.
Now we are recycling very low-quality textiles and turning it into a new low-quality fabric, and this is pointless. ”
Experts also say that mixed fabrics are not yet suitable for processing.
Usually cotton, linen, wool and polyester are used as recyclables.
The Swedish plant cooperates with IKEA and H & M, as well as with the network of sports goods stores Stadium.

Internet Review: Garbage charging problem to learn more from experience
Related LINKS http: / / www.CRNT.com 2024-04-21 13: 08: 47
China News Agency Beijing, April 21 / Net Review: The Problem of Garbage Charging Will Be Researched Again
Source: Grand Duke Network
Garbage charging policy "first try", which is a serious and responsible practice, accumulation of experience, but also to learn from the experience of the outside world, into their own process.
Takung newspaper reporters recently visited Japan, known as "environmental model students", to understand the operation of its waste collection, the real sense of Japan's success, the most important is long-term education, local conditions, perfect supporting.
In the final analysis, the key to implementing environmental protection is to change living habits. Garbage charging is a process of changing customs and habits, and it is only by gradual and orderly progress that the desired results can be achieved.
Japan's "garbage charges" are not one-size-fits-all, and are not required to be implemented nationally at a specific time.
On the contrary, Japan ’ s waste disposal is the responsibility of local governments, and the standards for waste management, recycling and levying are different, so it can be called “every village has its own rules ”.
In many places, garbage classification is very detailed, divided into combustible waste, non-combustible waste, dangerous waste, resource waste, large garbage and other five categories, and metal, plastic, glass, broken goods, paper, etc., also need to be treated separately.
Local regulations on what time, what kinds of garbage to drop, and the time to drop garbage to be appropriate, not sooner or later.
For large garbage such as furniture and electrical appliances, you need to buy stickers at convenience stores, and electric recalls.
However, in Osaka and other places, garbage does not need to be sorted and packaged in designated plastic bags, and some garbage disposal is free of charge.
Therefore, if the Japanese move to other places in the country, they need to adapt to the local garbage disposal methods.
Statistics show that as of 2019, a total of 1,094 garbage charges have been implemented in 1,741 cities, towns and villages across Japan, with an implementation rate of about 62%, of which the implementation rate of rural areas is higher than that of cities.
The reason is related to the limited space in the city and the lack of supporting facilities for waste disposal. Therefore, the requirements for classification and charging are relatively relaxed.
In fact, Japan has a recycling rate of 20%, which means that a lot of waste, including some food waste, ends up in landfills or incinerators, whether sorted or not.
It has taken Japan almost 60 years to get to where it is today in terms of waste disposal.
In the 1960s, when the Japanese economy took off, the amount of waste produced increased, and the phenomenon of littering was everywhere, the Japanese government launched a campaign to beautify the capital.
However, the Japanese did not buy the bill at that time, and the public protested because of the landfill site selection, which is similar to what happened in Hong Kong later.
It was not until the 1980s that Japan began to promote simple waste separation, and after decades of development, a standardized waste disposal system was formed.

Content: Japan 's "garbage disposal" is the most difficult to break down the problem of pinball machine recycling!
Author: Huang Wenqi
Published: Updated:
Hong Kong resident Kong Kong Deguang runs a waste recycling company in Japan. He hired 6 employees to implement remote control. From recycling waste, government tax rebates, to selling old things. His annual income is close to 10 million yuan.
Urban waste can be seen everywhere, and everyone wants to remove it quickly.
Kongdeguang ’ s garbage recycling company recycles 12 to 16 tons of garbage in Japan every year, and this revenue alone reaches 100 million yen (equivalent to about HK $5.5 million), 60% of which belongs to Kongdeguang, meaning that he can bag about HK $3.3 million a year.
In addition to recycling garbage in Japan, Kong also sought treasures from it, and shipped old items discarded by the Japanese back to Hong Kong for sale, with a total annual income of nearly 10 million yuan.
(Data Image)
Computers are the most complex.
One kilogram of domestic waste costs 1,500 yen to 3,500 yen (HK $83 to HK $193), and if you need to recycle a computer, the fee will also increase, such as the cost of recycling an old Mackbook, which costs 5,800 yen (HK $319).
"In the past, only chemical substances had to be directly poured out to decompose, and the household had to disassemble the pieces manually and extract the chemicals that were harmful to the environment before they could be removed," he said.
Recycled garbage can not be thrown in the landfill, Kong Deguang said, to be disintegrated first, and then shipped to different countries, "for example, some countries are interested in PVC glue, we will collect the recovered PVC glue together; or some countries will be interested in the computer bottom plate, because the bottom plate contains 0.001G of gold, gathered to 100,000 pieces, we can extract 1kg of gold. All the floors will be collected.
They have a dealer in Japan, and we give it to the dealer after the disintegration. "
According to Kong, there are three types of recyclable waste in Japan, and the most common type is domestic waste. (photo by Li Tse-tung)
Demolition of the old house 10,000 yen per foot
In addition to disposing of domestic waste, Kong Deguang, the second type is disposing of old houses.
Some houses in Japan are wooden structures, usually more than 100 years old, and there is a risk of collapse. If you want to build a house on the original site, you need to clean the entire house.
"Every house has to be demolished and buried, and then excavated with a dredger to dig out wooden piles, and then remove the wood and bricks, and charge 10,000 yen (about HK $550) per foot. With the aging of Japan, especially in rural areas, there are five or six orders a month," he added.
Recycling pinball machine can be gold
The last is the recycling of pinball machines, people who have traveled to Japan know that pinball machines are very common game machines in Japan, but may not know that the original pinball machines can also be alchemized.
Kong Deguang explained that there are different patterns on the pinball machine or the most popular anime characters of the period, and it will be eliminated in a month to two months, so a large number of pinball machines need to be recycled, which used to be a wonder.
"Twenty years ago, the retrieved marbles were shipped to the mainland Dongguan to refine gold, pour some chemical materials, and refine gold, copper and other metals, (this practice) is very polluting to the environment."
At that time, I shipped at least 40 to 50 pinball machines to Dongguan every week for five years, but then the environmental awareness in the mainland increased, so I couldn ’ t do it. ”

In New Zealand, the Timaru District has a materials recovery facility that processes five tonnes of material per hour and serves multiple district councils.

32 pictograms: soon we will sort waste in a new way
Lithuania is introducing a waste labeling system, which is already being actively used in Denmark and Sweden.
The basic principle of the new system is simple and intuitive.
The same symbols (pictograms) are used both on the package and on the container in which it must be thrown.
In Lithuania, 32 pictograms will be used.
They are divided into 12 categories.
These are: Green waste, Food waste, Reuse, Textiles, Paper and paperboard, Glass, Metal, Building materials, Hazardous waste, Electronics, Plastic, Combination packaging.
The sorting system is available at atliekuzenklinimas.lt.
Each icon consists of three recognizable elements.
This is the color, the symbol and the category of waste designated by the words.
When a person sees such an icon on the package, he will be able to throw it into a container with the same icon.
Just like a kid's puzzle.
For example, in a set of pictograms to be used in Lithuania, glass waste is marked with a green icon with a bottle in the center and an indication of the category: glass.
The 18 large waste sites that can be found in the Vilnius region will be the first users of the new system.
Pictograms are already in production, and in the near future they will be fixed on containers.
The system will be 100% operational when manufacturers and sellers start using these pictograms on packages.

New territorial scheme of waste management approved in Karelia
The changes passed 2 stages of public discussions, they bring the regulatory document in line with the requirements of environmental legislation
Photo: https: / / www.freepik.com / author / freepik
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.

The Vladimir region in Russia aims to completely recycle municipal solid waste by 2030, with three waste processing stations existing in the region, processing 30 percent of total municipal solid waste.

Foreign tourists rush into dirty streets, and Japanese cities introduce "smart trash cans"
Japan ’ s strict rules on garbage classification, and foreign tourists often create dirt because they don ’ t understand it, so Japan has started promoting “smart trash cans ” to solve the waste disposal needs of foreign tourists while keeping the streets clean. (AFP)
2023 / 11 / 18 16: 14
[Compilation Sun Yuqing / Comprehensive Report] "Bloomberg" reported on the 18th that garbage cans are usually not seen on the streets of Japan, but they have managed to keep them clean for a long time.
However, with the influx of foreign tourists and the surge in garbage, cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and Kyoto are now adopting “smart trash cans ”.
In Dotonbori, a tourist attraction in Osaka, about 20 new technology trash cans called “SmaGO ” have been installed this week. The solar panels inside allow the trash cans to automatically sense whether they are full, so that they can compress the garbage by about 20%.
In addition, the trash can is connected to a smartphone app that provides trash volume data and alerts staff before the trash fills up.
Yohei Takemura, CEO of Forcetec, a startup that distributes SmaGO in Japan, said: “Some local governments are finally starting to realize that you can ’ t do anything unless you provide trash cans.
That ’ s why the company wants to try out smart trash cans to see if it can make cities cleaner.
After the 1995 Tokyo Aum Shinrikyo gas attack, trash cans were not seen in many public places in Japan, but can still be found in heavily trafficked areas such as major stations.
Garbage is becoming more common on the streets of Japanese cities as the number of foreign visitors officially surpassed pre-pandemic levels last month.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida introduced a blanket policy against overtourism last month, including subsidies for smart trash cans.
The problem of garbage is compounded by the fact that different kinds of street snacks are available everywhere in Japan, such as octopus yaki or fish yaki, as tourists who purchase these foods often do not understand Japan ’ s strict rules on garbage sorting and do not want to carry garbage with them.
"For Japanese people, it's always normal to put garbage in a bag and take it home to throw it away," Takemura said.
To address this problem, Forcetec imported smart trash cans from Massachusetts waste management company Bigbelly, which launched its first smart trash cans in Colorado about 20 years ago.
Now, more than 200 smart trash cans have been set up in major tourist hotspots such as Arashiyama bamboo forest in Kyoto, with instructions on various services for foreign tourists and sometimes corporate sponsorship to relieve the burden on municipal authorities.
In Hiroshima, for example, trash cans sponsored by snack maker Calbee Inc. adorn the city ’ s ocean landscape and the brand ’ s logo.

Will the new system eliminate the waste crisis in Egypt?
The Ministry of Local Development and Environment prepared the equipment of cleaning and waste collection companies in Cairo to start activating the contracts of the waste system, by contracting with new companies to manage integrated services and waste recycling to ensure the cleanliness of the streets and complete the collection and transport of garbage and recycling operations and treatment and safe sanitary burial of waste.
According to Major General Mahmoud Shaarawi, Minister of Local Development, the state has so far spent about 2.9 billion pounds on waste system projects in the first and second phases, pointing out that the government is racing against time to complete all projects and programs of the new system as soon as possible to restore the aesthetic and civilized shape of the Egyptian street.
Yousef Mujahid, who works in a garbage collection company, says that there have been clear efforts for a long time by state institutions to work on the development of the waste system and maximize the use of it.
He added that the cycle of work in companies begins with the collection of all garbage and waste, and then fill them in sanitary landfills away from the gatherings and residential areas, explaining that the tasks are then distributed to each worker to start the process of sorting the waste according to its types, whether solid or plastic materials and so on.
Mujahid pointed out that the new system of waste, so far is one of the most prominent objectives is to maximize the use and expansion of waste recycling, pointing out that waste recycling is one of the most sectors that can generate huge profits for the state.
During the past year and a half, the Ministry of Local Development has lifted about 45 million tons of waste, 30 million tons of daily generated waste and 15 million tons of historical garbage, and the Arab Organization for Industrialization has lifted about 500 thousand tons of waste from about 39 sites in the governorates.
Local development provides 9 mobile intermediate stations in 4 governorates for waste, 34 stations are being delivered in 11 governorates, as well as the delivery of 9 fixed intermediate stations in 5 governorates and the implementation of 15 stations in 8 governorates, in addition to the delivery of 5 sanitary landfills and another 16 landfills are being delivered to the governorates during September and October 2021.
For his part, Sabri al-Jundi, former adviser to the Minister of Local Development, said that the state is striving to achieve the economic benefit of the waste system file, as the government and the concerned authorities can achieve a huge profit return from investing in garbage and manage this file well.
In the case of recycling garbage, Al-Jundi said that using it in the production of various industries would bring great benefits to the country, pointing out that the process of recycling garbage can produce important and different industries, especially the production of chemicals in addition to the asphalt industry.
The former adviser to the Minister of Local Development pointed out that there is a huge national project on the garbage file and how to achieve the greatest profitability from it, and the ministries of environment and local development and also the initiative of a decent life, through coordination and agreement on the establishment of companies to collect and recycle garbage, explaining that the study of the file is being implemented at the level of the governorates of Egypt.
So far, the implementation of two waste recycling plants in Minya and Sohag is being completed, according to the Ministry of Local Development, which confirmed that the efficiency of a number of waste lines has been raised for some factories, including Diffra in Gharbia and 4 lines are being raised before the end of this month. At a cost of about 233 million pounds, 900,000 tons of historical waste were disposed of at the factory.

In Russia, the Samara Region has 8 garbage sorting complexes, with 2,195 containers for separate garbage collection purchased, and 43.5% of waste sent for sorting.

Minister of Environment: 2022 is the year of implementation of the integrated waste management system
Minister of Environment Yasmine Fouad presented a report on creating a supportive environment for the implementation of the waste system in 2022, by encouraging the private sector to invest in waste management and converting waste into energy, by providing technical support and a package of incentives.
The Minister of Environment stressed that the ministry seeks in various ways to encourage investment in the implementation of projects to convert waste to energy, to expand Egypt in this field to achieve the maximum benefit from waste and reduce rejection as much as possible, and reduce polluting emissions resulting from improper management of waste, which contributes to increasing global warming. With an investment cost of 120 million dollars, to produce 30 megawatt hours of electricity, and the completion of the drafting and review of contracts in cooperation between the ministries of environment, local development, finance, electricity, energy and military production.
In the field of benefiting from agricultural waste, the Bioenergy Foundation for Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Environment during 2022 expanded the establishment of biogas units and the design of integrated systems hybrid with solar energy to reduce the cost of electricity produced, as well as the design of systems for the production of biogas from biological waste other than human and animal waste. It produces 48,500 tons of bio-fertilizer, enough to fertilize 6,000 acres, benefiting 9,000 citizens, resulting in the birth of 31 start-ups and the creation of 72 direct jobs and 93 indirect jobs.
The first phase of the National Waste Management Information System (WIMS), which is implemented through the program in cooperation with the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ), has been completed according to the needs of the Ministry ’ s Waste Management Regulatory Authority (WIMS), and within the framework of the strategic direction of digital transformation in the Egyptian state. Business efficiency, by reducing paperwork, as well as keeping and managing data securely and sharing it with third parties.
Dr. Yasmin Fouad, Minister of Environment, reviewed the implementation of the waste management system within the framework of the planning, regulatory and supervisory role of the Ministry and its Waste Management Regulatory Authority in the system.

“There are those who are lagging behind.
In 43 entities, the actual volume and percentage of sorting, as well as disposal, does not correlate with their reporting data, ” he said.
A number of entities have plans to build or upgrade infrastructure to switch to a new waste management system that is not ambitious enough, he continued.
We are talking about eight regions - the Stavropol Territory, Kaliningrad, Orel, Chelyabinsk, Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Ivanovo and Kostroma regions.
Waste reform in Russia started in January 2019.
It is planned to ensure 100% sorting of garbage by 2030.
President Vladimir Putin also called one of the national goals to achieve by that time a reduction in the disposal of solid municipal waste at landfills to 50% of their generation (instead of the current 94%).
Every year, according to various sources, 60 – 70 million tons of such waste are generated in Russia.
In May, Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko compared Russia with Mexico in terms of waste recycling.
However, she noted that the reform was launched only in 2019 and it is impossible to talk about any failure.
So far, only the first stage of the reform — the creation of regional garbage operators — has been implemented.
“Now we have to implement the second part, with which we are still lagging behind, ” Abramchenko explained.
We are talking about the construction of facilities for sorting and disposal of garbage.

Content: Producer Responsibility System Waste Reduction Policy Package in Place
Comments ‧ World Situation 2022 / 08 / 06

Share:
On average, more than 5 million plastic beverage bottles are disposed of in landfills in Hong Kong every day, reflecting the poor results of plastic reduction and recycling.
Under the long-term initiative of environmental organizations such as Green Earth, the environmental protection department is preparing to introduce relevant producer responsibility schemes (PRS) to respond.
In simple terms, PRS usually uses financial means, such as bottle fees and glass bottle levies, to induce "producers" such as manufacturers, retailers and even consumers to shoulder their due environmental responsibility.
Effective laws and regulations are indispensable to improve the industrial chain
PRS This waste management regulation is slightly different from the common pollution control regulations. To promote source waste reduction and recycling, effective regulations and the support of the entire recycling industry chain are indispensable.
First, the recycling industry chain, which includes high-coverage front-line collection points, large and small transport fleets, adequate recycling and recycling plants, a market for valuable recycled materials, and PRS system managers.
To promote the formation and effectiveness of the recycling industry chain, we must first have "smart" regulations, in which the setting of ambitious recycling targets, attractive economic incentives (such as refunds by bottle or bottle), and a reward and punishment mechanism for manufacturers are all key elements.
For example, the EPD recently proposed that each plastic bottle should be given a refund of at least one dime, hoping to achieve a recovery rate of 40% in the first year and 75% in five years.
Is there a “tooth ” for this purpose?
Hong Kong 's plastic recycling performance is poor PRS International
Green Earth analyzed a number of countries and regions that use PRS to manage beverage containers, and concluded that the average refund amount for each plastic bottle is more than HK $1, which is 10 times less than the corner of Hong Kong.
As for the average recovery rate target for the first year of PRS, the international average is above 70%, of which 80% in South Korea in Asia and 90% in the three Nordic countries are high; even if the target is lower, Lithuania and Slovakia are also 55% and 60% respectively, which are much more positive than Hong Kong's 40%.
The reason why PRS is called producer responsibility, the key word is the word "producer", which means that this stakeholder is responsible.
I would like to remind the environmental protection department that the recycling responsibilities of manufacturers and importers must not be missed.
The most direct approach is to set up an adequate reward and punishment mechanism to ensure that if the manufacturer fails to meet the recycling target, it must bear the responsibility, so that it can be matched with the "responsibility system".
Set up incentive mechanism to encourage manufacturers to respond positively
South Korea, a model student of high plastic bottle recycling, has adopted the Pigouvian Tax: if the market fails to meet the 80% recycling target, producers, importers and PRS system administrators have to pay the corresponding punitive tax on a proportional basis.
The author also believes that, in fairness, if the recycling rate exceeds the target, or the market adopts a considerable plastic reduction package (such as naked buy, reuse container sales), there should be corresponding incentives to promote the positive response of manufacturers and create a source of plastic reduction culture.
At a time when the Government has not yet submitted the PRS Bill to the Legislative Council, the Legislative Council (especially the Panel on Environmental Affairs) has the responsibility to monitor the quality of the policy and request the Administration to respond positively to the following key points:
1. Disclose the results of the EPD ’ s 2021 plastic bottle public consultation, including supporting the proportion of different refund amounts;
2. Keep up with the international standard, the minimum refund amount should start at HK $1;
Third, update the recovery rate target: 70% in the first year of policy implementation, and increase to 90% in three years;
Fourth, set up a review mechanism: if the recycling target is not reached within the deadline, then increase the legal minimum amount of refunded bottles, increase the economic incentive; at the same time, compared with the Piguet tax, manufacturers, importers, PRS system managers must be jointly responsible for the failure to meet the target.

New approaches to waste management developed in Almaty
New approaches to waste management have been developed in Almaty.
In the metropolis already conduct a separate collection of solid household waste.
BaigeNews.kz learned about the prospects of separate garbage collection and the goals of the Almaty authorities for waste management.
In Almaty, there are more and more people who consciously approach the emission of household waste, sort waste for further processing and even carry waste from cardboard, paper and plastic to special reception points.
Conscious citizens admit that when properly sorted, a bag of recyclable waste is most often larger than a bag of other waste that cannot yet be recycled in the country.
For example, today in Kazakhstan do not recycle tetrapacks, and they still go to the basket with non-recyclable garbage.
The Akimat of Almaty supports such initiatives in every possible way and has already put more than a thousand special containers on the sites in the yards next to ordinary tanks.
In appearance, they look like an iron mesh box, and here residents can put such waste that is already processed in the city - plastic, paper (waste paper), glass, metal, cellophane and rags.
In the near future, there will be another 454 such containers in the city.
In addition, Almaty residents have access to 37 waste collection points that can be recycled.
In particular, one of the plants in Almaty produces polyethylene granules and stretch film from secondary raw materials.
At the waste sorting complex in Almaty, everything that can be recycled is taken away and sent to production.
Now 13 organizations are cooperating with this complex to process the selected recyclables.
The remaining waste is removed for burial, taking into account the norms of environmental legislation, to the landfill located in the village of Aytey, Karaysai district, Almaty region.
According to the statistics of the akimat of Almaty, more than 1200 tons of solid household waste are processed in the metropolis per day, of which 17% are processed.
Ecologist Mels Eleusizov believes that landfills in the Almaty region and the whole country should be closed and reclaimed so as not to be a “time bomb ” for the ecology and health of the inhabitants of Kazakhstan.
And sorting household waste of the population, he proposes to carry out in the yards manually.
"Today Almaty" produces "waste containing about 40 types of materials that can be recycled.
I have long proposed to organize sorting points on garbage sites so that employees manually sort waste and then in this form would be sent for processing.
This would provide not only smart waste management, but also new jobs, ” says Mels Eleusizov.
In developed European countries, landfills have been forgotten for a long time.
Here, at the state level, a hierarchy of values in relation to waste is built.
The main principle is to reduce the volume of "production" of garbage.
Those waste that still remain, sort and only what is already impossible to recycle, safely burned, getting energy used in the city.
At a special waste sorting plant in the capital of the Netherlands - Amsterdam bring all the waste of citizens and enterprises.
Here, with the help of a new technology - infrared scanning, waste is automatically taken from a huge pile that can be recycled.
Suitable as a secondary raw material waste is sent with a pressed form for processing to other enterprises.
The rest of the waste will have to be burned here to get steam and send it to heat houses and heat hot water, as well as generate electricity.
Burning garbage occurs in compliance with all environmental standards, measurements are 24 / 7, and if the excess of safe concentrations of harmful substances is recorded, the entire complex is immediately stopped.
What comes out of the pipe, according to experts, you can breathe, in the Netherlands and the EU very strict requirements for emissions.
The remaining ash is not buried, but is completely used for asphalt production, another sludge is sent for burial in special underground mines in neighboring Germany.
Speaking about sorting garbage, employees of the waste sorting plant in Amsterdam (AEB) say that residents of apartment buildings in megacities, even in Europe, can not sort all the garbage, so in Amsterdam, residents throw away only plastic, paper (waste paper) separately.
All the rest of the garbage will be sorted out by the automatic garbage sorting system at the garbage sorting plant.
“There is an opinion that if people at home sort the garbage, then you can get more recyclables for recycling.
But we have seen in practice that new technologies make it possible to sort garbage collected in a heap at a factory even better than if people in apartment buildings sorted 100 percent of their waste.
But in private houses in Amsterdam, the tenants themselves completely sort the waste, and he does not even go to our garbage sorting complex, but goes straight to processing.
In principle, there are very few landfills for waste disposal in the country, and none of them are currently used for disposal of waste from households.
There are several mines for the disposal of waste such as ash, but their negligible amount, ” said the manager of the waste sorting plant Amsterdam (AEB) Cohen Bytink.
Almaty and Almaty region jointly plan to adopt best practices.
Similar to the Amsterdam garbage sorting complex is promised to be built on the existing garbage sorting complex in the Ili district.
In the next few years, they will not only select waste for usable and not recyclable, but also get biogas from them.
The expected capacity of the plant is 120 thousand tons per year, and the construction will be carried out by a Kazakh-Spanish company.
In addition, the city is beginning to collect food waste, and they are also promised to use it for the production of biogas, and this is in line with the plans of Amsterdam, where they do not yet do anything with food waste, and also, as in Almaty, they plan to produce biogas from them.

The first national waste recycling industry evaluation Pingtung County received a special award
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPD) conducted the recycling industry evaluation for the first time last year, and invited relevant experts and scholars to form a panel to evaluate the four aspects of the recycling industry: environmental image, operation quality, fire safety and material. "Highest Honor".
People's awareness of environmental protection is rising, Pingtung County's resource recovery rate has increased year by year, and the resource recovery rate of 110 years has reached a record high of 56.5%. Recycled resources still need to be properly treated and reused in order to achieve the sustainable development goal of zero waste in resource recycling.
Innovative technology, expanded use, benchmarking learning, and reversing the past "dirty, messy, and smelly" stereotypes of the recycling industry to promote the evolutionary benefits of the recycling industry are the main objectives of this evaluation of the recycling industry.
The Pingtung County Environmental Protection Bureau pointed out that Pingtung County has been recognized as one of the two recycling companies, such as the first branch of the recycling company, Hongguang Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. (waste plastic containers), JUJI Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. (waste motor vehicles), ETO Technology Co., Ltd. Pingnan No. 2 (waste tires), Hongheng Technology Co. (waste battery), Ltd. Six treatment companies, such as Chengsong Enterprise Co., Ltd. Pingnan Plant (Waste Lead Storage Battery) and Hongqing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Waste Lighting Light Source), were awarded the Resource Cycle Prospect or Cornerstone Mark respectively.
The Environmental Protection Bureau pointed out that since the promotion of the "Resource Recovery 4-in-1 Program", we thank the county recycling operators for their efforts in resource recycling over the past 25 years, and the public and private cooperation in the operation of the resource recovery system, hoping that the industry and academia will make efforts to build a higher quality recycling system in the future.

Scientific Center: We are keen to recycle waste through specialized containers to preserve the environment
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) by Zahra Kazemi
KUWAIT, Jan 25 (KUNA) -- The Scientific Center is keen on recycling waste, sorting it by type and allocating electronic, paper and other containers for clothes in order to preserve the environment, said Musaed Al-Yasin, Director General of the Scientific Center.
Al-Yaseen added in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the recycling program at the center is one of the basic programs to reduce the problem of plastic pollution and educate the community about its risks, especially on marine organisms.
He stressed that the center works with various entities in the country to preserve the environment and implement the goals of sustainable development through the dissemination of environmental culture through recycling programs and the investment of waste to achieve an economic return for the country.
Al-Yaseen explained that the center has established in 2020 a model entitled "The Last Fishing" in the form of the famous Kuwaiti Zubaidi fish to be collected plastic bottles and then recycled in a step to protect the environment from the threat of plastic pollution.
He pointed out that this model was done in cooperation with Kuwaiti artist Jassem Al-Nashmi within the sustainability program of the center, which includes community initiatives that promote the preservation of the environment and raise awareness about the effects of pollution.
Al-Yasin said that the plastic bottles are collected inside the fish ’ s body and are regularly removed in partnership between the Scientific Center and a local recycling company.
After collecting the bottles, the specialized company sorts, cuts, washes and splits them into plastic pellets ready for use in other industries such as bags, pipes and others, as well as exporting some of them to outside the country.
Al-Yaseen stressed that the cleanliness of the environment and seas and its absence of plastic materials is a global goal, pointing out that waste recycling and pollution control has become a UN requirement because these materials pose a great danger to the seas and oceans.
He stressed the need to spread environmental culture and community awareness about the importance of preserving the environment from the risks of pollution and combating it through various means as environmental sustainability achieves the goals of sustainable development.

Content: Editorial: Waste recovery should be effectively increased
Font Size:
Data released by the National Environment Agency last week showed that according to a survey conducted in 2023, 72% of households participated in a recycling program, up from 64% in 2021.
However, more household participation has not translated into higher recycling rates, and China ’ s household waste recycling rate last year stagnated at a historic low in 2022, recycling only 12% of waste.
Pollution is the biggest challenge facing our country in the recycling process.
Blue garbage collection bins placed throughout the island are often used as ordinary garbage cans, so that the recycled items are contaminated by food waste and cannot be used.
Contaminated items are not limited to one box of recyclables, because recyclables in the same area will be collected in the same recycling vehicle.
The Environment Agency estimates that the contamination rate of household recyclables is about 40 per cent.
Therefore, it is very important to take the recycling box seriously and carefully check the items placed in the recycling box, and arbitrarily throw the garbage into the recycling box, which will destroy the entire recycling process and make the recycling efforts of interested people fall short.
To improve the recycling rate, we must first strengthen public education.
While the Environment Agency has been advocating for the proper use of blue recycling bins, it is clear from the data point of view that the agency must also step up its ongoing education efforts to ensure that everyone knows what is recyclable and what is not.
The elderly and domestic helpers need special attention and guidance.
Schools also play an important role in teaching students proper recycling methods.
Through early education, the younger generation can better understand and practice the right recycling methods and communicate this knowledge to their families.
The bureau should also consider improving the design of the blue recycling bin so that it is easy to put in but not easy to take out, to prevent some people from turning over the bin and trying to find paper, aluminum cans and other reusable items that can be sold, resulting in a mess around and people mistaking it as a garbage can.
Since there are limited categories of items that can be put into blue recycling bins, such as used clothing and batteries, which cannot be discarded, better results may be achieved if more types of recycling are provided and further classified.
The trial of kitchen waste recycling cabinets and smart recycling bins in BiShan and Xinmin is a good attempt.
The pilot scheme, launched in April 2022, uses smart systems to recycle food waste, used clothing, paper, plastic, aluminum, tin cans and glass.
Through the use of technology, it effectively reduces the pollution rate of recycled materials to 10%, far below the national average of 40%.
The company plans to install more smart recycling bins in 83 more locations from January next year.
Under the scheme, members of the public are required to download the application and scan the QR code to select the type of items to be recycled before they can open the recycling bins of the respective items.
Although the operation is more cumbersome, it can keep the environment clean and prevent abuse.
On the other hand, by participating in the recycling program to accumulate points to exchange supermarket gift vouchers, it is expected to change the public's recycling behavior and gradually develop the habit of sorting garbage.
Of course, changing attitudes towards recycling will require sustained public education and information.
Including non-household waste, China's overall recycling rate last year fell by five percentage points from the previous year, only 52%, which is far from China's goal of raising the recycling rate to 70% by 2030.
Our only Silmago landfill island is expected to be filled by 2035.
In addition to setting recovery rate targets, reducing overall consumption targets is also important as this reduces the need for recovery at the source.
Recycling is not convenient, and recyclable items must be properly cleaned and correctly classified.
To change long-formed habits and lifestyles is challenging, individual efforts may seem trivial, but the power of collective action is immense.
If everyone is actively involved in proper recycling and waste reduction, Singapore can overcome the challenge of waste pollution and move towards a more sustainable future.

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

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.

Upgrading Chicago ’ s Waste Recycling Facility
Only 9.6% of Chicago ’ s waste was recycled last year, and recycler LRS last month officially opened a $50 million state-of-the-art facility called the Exchange to classify waste based on the chemical and physical properties of materials, including shape, size, weight, magnetism, and more.
Last year, Chicago separated 84,757 tons of waste from the landfill, and the goal of treating 25 tons of recyclables per hour using "exchange" was reached, with a maximum of 35 tons per hour, equivalent to 112,000 tons of recyclables that can be separated from the landfill.
The new facility has grown in size since it began operating in February. Since March, 90% of Chicago ’ s recycled materials have been sent to an “exchange ” for processing.
The head of LRS said the center recycles 10 tons more per hour than the center in Forest View.
LRS ’ new CEO, Matt Spencer, said he expects to double recycling within two years from now.
Also, at a recent event hosted by the Argonne National Laboratory, Max Delferro, a scientist who specializes in chemical recycling of plastics, said he saw that many people were not clear about what should be collected in recycling bins.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, about a quarter of recyclables in the country are contaminated.
When recyclables are contaminated with food or liquids, mixed with other waste or placed in plastic bags, they become contaminated and prevent recycling.
What is also confusing to the public is that all plastic surfaces are marked with different numbers, representing different chemical properties of plastic.
Three triangular curved arrows have been released that look like recycling marks, but are not recyclable.
For example, plastic bags and films are made of low-density polyethylene and are not recyclable.
Del Ferro said only plastic products such as single-use plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) labeled No. 1, detergents and shampoo containers made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) labeled No. 2, and some food containers made of polypropylene (PP) labeled No. 5, are recyclable.
While improving the separation efficiency of recyclables will improve the city ’ s recycling rate, the greater challenge is educating citizens on how to identify recyclables and encouraging people to participate in recycling programs.
Between 2015 and 2021, Chicago ’ s household waste diversion rate, the percentage of waste that doesn ’ t go to landfill, fell from 10.4% to 8.6%.
As a result, in 2021, the City of Chicago and the Delta Institute, a nonprofit, released a new Waste Disposal Strategic Plan that addresses community environmental and economic issues in the Midwest.
As of July, the city reported that the average transfer rate of garbage in 2023 had increased to 10%.

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. ”

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.

Beijing, April 23 / According to the Ta Kung Pao report, to do a good job of source waste reduction, sorting and recycling need to have relevant supporting support.
Wong Chun-yin, Deputy Director of Project Planning of the World Green Organisation, said that to effectively implement the waste levy, there needs to be sufficient recycling packages for the public and a public awareness that is willing to participate in recycling to reduce the amount of waste.
He believes that the government should continue to expand and improve the coverage of recycling facilities before and after the implementation of waste collection charges, so that “the public will fall down and be recyclable ” is the most ideal, and set up kitchen waste recycling machines in more public housing estates to improve the recycling rate and achieve effective waste reduction.
Wong Chun-yin said that the public generally agree with waste recycling, but the pace of life is fast and the work pressure is high, it is difficult to recycle regularly in daily life, and even to develop the habit of actively recycling.
He believes that in addition to continuously expanding the convenient recycling points and providing rewards for recycling points, the Government must strengthen public education, such as publicizing recycling knowledge and related measures through Internet influencers: “Let the public participate in garbage sorting step by step, and develop the habit of recycling and waste reduction at source, so as to achieve the goal of effectively reducing the amount of municipal solid waste disposal. ”
In the meantime, many residents in the vicinity of Po Lam Station are willing to take the sorted garbage to the recycling station. However, there is no recycling station in Hong Kong City, which is very different from the environmental protection effect. In the medium and long term, as in the case of Po Lam Station, "Green in Po Lam" should be set up in Hong Kong City, so that a fixed recycling station can attract more residents to do a good job of sorting garbage and recycling.
Mr Cheung suggested that the Government should launch the "Food Waste Recycling Machine Scheme" at Sunrise, so that all housing estates will have food waste recycling machines so that residents can recycle their food waste properly. "
