  2. Overview: Solid Waste in China

  3. Driven byUrbanization & Industrial Development • 0.5kg per day in 1980s, 0.7 kg per day in 1990s, and exceeding 1 kg per day in 2000s • Almost 1/3solid waste generated in the world comes from China • Volume of waste is growing by 10% per annum • 400,000tons of garbage per day, treated at 849 facilities (60~80% is landfill) • CNY 210 billion invested within the 11th FYP (2006-2010) • share of incineration is expected to double in the coming five to ten years

  4. Governance & Management

  5. Laws, Regulations & Standards • the Environmental Protection Law • the Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law • the Law on Circular Economy Promotion • Management Measures on Urban Waste • the National Five-Year Plan on Urban Environment and Sanitization • the Law on the Prevention of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste • The National Catalog of Hazardous Waste • the Identification Standard of Hazardous Waste (GB5085-96) • the National Management Regulation for Hazardous Waste Transfer Manifests • the Regulation on Managing Import of Solid Waste

  6. Finance • Government funds – mainly for municipal solid waste (urban & rural), recently marketized and diverse in fund sourcing • Governments guarantee the full purchase of power generated by incinerators • Immediate rebate on value-added tax (VAT) for biomass electricity generation plants.  • Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) – following wastewater sector • Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – landfill gas recovery, incinerator gas recovery • Target (incineration): 500MW by 2010 and 2000 MW by 2020

  7. Technology Support • Dozens of regional research institutes specialized in sanitation environmental engineering • Many well-equipped mechanic and engineering design institutes • Both national and regional industrial associations China Association of Urban Environmental Sanitation - (www.caues.org) focuses on municipal solid waste treatment in the country, providing technical consultancy and scientific advisor to policy-makers.

  8. Municipal Solid Waste in China

  9. Collection and Transfer of MSW • Formal vs. informal sorting • Labor-intensity • Upgrading collection stations • Starting charging for waste collection and disposal • Recycling • Formal vs. Informal • Low value in secondary material market • Competition with imported waste • Composting • Commonly practiced in China • Poor market demand • Incineration • Growing market • Governmental support and subsidies • Public response • Landfill • Shortage in space • Little control in leachate and gas • Lack of productive post closure use

  10. New Movements on Segregation • Guangzhou Interim Measures of Municipal Solid Waste Segregation has officially come into effect on April 1st 2011. • Beijing announced its decision to adopt a differentiated tariff system to encourage less waste generation in 2011. • More tier I and II cities are following the trend to establish a more strict system on municipal solid waste management. A necessary step to move forward, especially on incineration and recycling

  11. Demolition Waste • Half of the world’s buildings to be constructed between now and 2020 are expected to be in China • about 30~40% of the solid waste generated in Chinese urban areas is demolition waste • over 98% has been landfilled directly without any treatment; less than 2% has been roughly segregated to extract valuable resources • Only 20 – 30 companies specialized in recycling demolition waste in China

  12. Starting in 2011 • Cities like Shanghai, Nanjing and Urumqi (Xinjiang) have issued specific regulations on demolition waste. These regulate the requirements on the disposal, storage and transfer of demolition waste, and set up the review and approval process. • Some cities are designating specific space/sites for recycling demolition waste (iron, cement, glass, etc.). • These governmental movements are believed to strongly promote the demolition waste market

  13. Kitchen Waste • improved living standards and a wasteful consumption behavior led to a significant growth in daily volume and higher composition of fat/oil • the growing public concerns about the poor quality of cooking oil extracted from waste cooking oil (gutter oil) that was illegally traded and processed on the market

  14. Actions in 2011 • Governments are investigating illegal sourcing and trade of waste oil (gutter oil) throughout the country. • Companies specialized in kitchen waste treatment (converting to biofuels) find it more easy to source oil. • Waste segregation laws and policies favor the kitchen waste recycling with better enforcement and facilities.

  15. General Outlook • Fast growth: • Generation increase • Investment increase • Demand increase • Government is promoting incineration and recycling industries • More private business involved • Diversifying market needs • Kitchen waste composting • Demolition waste treatment equipment • Electronic waste recycling • Medical waste treatment

  16. Market Opportunities • Manufacturing and sale of automated waste collection, transfer and storage facilities • Manufacturing and sale of advanced sorting machinery • Soil remediation and land reclamation for post closure landfills • Plastic recycling technology • Construction and operation of landfills and incineration plants • Specialized treatment technology for electronic and medical waste

  17. Some Advices • partnering with a domestic company is highly recommended given the solid waste market is not fully open and mature (at least compared to the wastewater market) • Most of information and resources regarding new projects and investments are in governmental hands • Products and technologies need to adapt to the local environment and needs • Communication challenges include that the engineers and sales persons in this sector are not able to communicate in English or German
