Waste Management in China : Issues and Recommendations
China recently surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest municipal solid waste (MSW) generator. In 2004 the urban areas of China generated about 190,000,000 tons of MSW and by 2030 this amount is projected to be at least 480,000,000 tons. No c...

| description |
China recently surpassed the U.S. as the
world's largest municipal solid waste (MSW) generator.
In 2004 the urban areas of China generated about 190,000,000
tons of MSW and by 2030 this amount is projected to be at
least 480,000,000 tons. No country has ever experienced as
large, or as rapid, an increase in waste generation.
Management of this waste has enormous domestic and
international implications. This report provides a general
sector background and identifies critical solid waste
management issues - although it does not address the areas
of hazardous waste, medical waste, sewage sludge, or waste
pickers. However it does discuss waste quantities;
information availability (quantity and waste cost); the
decision-making process used to derive policy and
strategically plan for technology selection, private sector
involvement, cost recovery, inadequate public access, and
participation in the planning process; facility operations;
financing; institutional arrangements including inadequate
decentralization of collection and transfer services and
municipal capacity; private sector participation, and carbon financing. |
