Recently, the Office of the Leading Group for the Construction of Ecological Civilization in Changning District held a summary of the construction of a "zero-waste city" in 2023 and a work seminar in 2024. In the past year, what are the highlights of the construction of a "zero-waste city" in Changning District, and how will it be promoted in the new year?
2023 is the first year for the construction of a "zero-waste city" in Changning District, which insists on putting the construction of ecological civilization and ecological environmental protection in an important strategic position in the overall economic and social development, coordinates the development of urban areas and solid waste management, promotes various tasks in the field of solid waste, implements relevant management measures, and promotes the "zero-waste city" to gradually become a green heritage and vivid practice of beautiful Changning.
Strengthen the foundation and improve the fine level of solid waste management
Xinjing Town Demonstration Recyclables Transfer Station
"No waste" does not mean that the amount of solid waste generated is zero, nor is it a complete recycling of solid waste, but through the transformation of green development methods and low-carbon lifestyles, we will continue to promote the source reduction and resource utilization of solid waste. In 2023, Changning District will continue to improve its solid waste infrastructure, from the upgrading and transformation of the Changning District Comprehensive Waste Disposal Center, to the construction of "one street and one station" according to local conditions, and the promotion of intelligent recycling bins. A total of 8 recyclable transfer stations and 103 smart recycling bins were built throughout the year, further improving the capacity of solid waste collection, transportation, pretreatment, and transit disposal.
How to deal with domestic garbage? Changning District continues to give refined answers. At present, Changning District has completed the standardization of 31 domestic waste bin rooms and the construction of 26 high-quality demonstration residential areas, and continues to optimize the environment for the source classification of domestic waste. In order to improve the recycling rate of recyclables, Changning District has combined the "15-minute community beautiful life circle" to create four recycling modes: regular community recycling, paid recycling of more than 3 kilograms, intelligent recycling cabinets, and scheduled recycling, so as to achieve full coverage of "paid recycling" services at the doorstep of residents, and at the same time, the installation of perception equipment for 37 wet garbage trucks, 69 dry garbage trucks, and 135 decoration garbage trucks has been completed, so as to realize the intelligent supervision of domestic waste collection and transportation operations and the traceability management of garbage classification quality.
A "new model" has been explored for the management of special solid waste such as plastic products and medical waste. In Changning District, 28 standardized vegetable markets have gradually promoted the centralized purchase and sale system of plastic shopping bags in vegetable markets, and relevant communities, blocks, e-commerce, and takeaway platforms have explored the mode of reducing plastic products and resource recovery, and some buildings have promoted the installation of special intelligent recycling machines for plastics; 178 hazardous waste production and waste units in the district have realized the whole process of tracking and evaluating the collection, transportation, storage, transfer and disposal of hazardous waste; and 285 small medical institutions have all realized the centralized collection and transportation of medical waste to solve the problem of medical waste collection and transportation" The "last mile" conundrum......
Intensive cultivation to create a "zero-waste city" Changning brand
Since 2023, Changning District has refined replicable and promotable experience and practices by exploring the construction of a number of "zero-waste city cells" such as visible, sensible and learnable zero-waste communities, zero-waste shopping malls, and zero-waste enterprises. As an important practice of "zero-waste city" construction, Xinhua Community has led the way through streets, social organizations, community partners and residential areas to jointly create a "Xinhua Zero Waste Community", creating a "zero-waste community" through various forms such as zero-waste community gardens, zero-waste office parks, recycling of idle items, and green composting to feed back green plants, and has become one of the six "UNDP Global Environment Facility Small Grants Program" China Zero Waste Community Projects in 2023. In addition, activities such as recyclables flea markets, smart recycling of recyclables, check-in and exchange have taken root in various towns and communities in Changning District, and "no waste" has gradually become an important element of the "15-minute community beautiful life circle".
The streets and towns of Changning District have widely carried out the practice of "decoration garbage does not land", such as movable "intelligent construction waste collection bin", upgraded "self-walking" special recycling bin, and lightweight "decoration garbage combination bin...... All towns and towns have taken the initiative to innovate to provide a hardware foundation for the realization of non-landing of community decoration waste, issued green collection and transportation guidelines, strengthened digital and intelligent management, and continuously improved residents' satisfaction with decoration waste management. At present, among the 738 residential areas in the district, 505 residential areas have completed the practice of decoration garbage in the two modes of fixed wing rooms and intelligent collection boxes, with a coverage rate of 68.4%.
Take multiple measures at the same time to comprehensively promote the construction of "zero-waste cities".
In the past year, Changning District has actively carried out legislative research on the "Shanghai Zero-Waste City Construction Regulations (Draft)", invited relevant experts to carry out special training and lectures on zero-waste construction for the member units of zero-waste city construction in the district, deepened the understanding of the great significance of zero-waste city construction among leaders of various departments and levels of government, and strengthened the organization, leadership and promotion of zero-waste city construction; formulated the "Publicity Plan for Zero-waste City Construction in Changning District" to "Beautiful Changning, Waste-free First" Promotional posters were made for the theme, and the promotion of zero-waste city construction was spread all over the streets and alleys of the city. Through a variety of innovative forms, Changning District has widely disseminated the concept of "zero waste", so that the "zero waste city" can be transformed from planning into reality, and then become a consciousness deeply rooted in the hearts of residents.
At Hongqiao Airport, enterprises in the five major fields of airport aviation, food, logistics, maintenance, and management have formed an "Airport Alliance" to jointly create a model of "zero-waste airport". Many of the world's top 500 companies have gathered in the Hongqiao Airport Area to form the "Excellent Enterprise Alliance" to lead the production base, cooperative companies, and upstream and downstream industrial chains to actively practice zero-waste actions.
Make full use of all kinds of mature green creation foundations, and enrich the "zero waste" concept and action requirements into the existing creation indicators, so that it will gradually develop into a "zero waste cell" and become an important unit of Changning's "zero waste city". Green shopping malls, green schools, green communities...... All these have laid a good foundation for the cultivation of "waste-free cells".
Carrying out the construction of "zero-waste city" is an important practice of the concept of people's city and an important starting point for realizing the construction of a beautiful Changning. 2024 is a key year for the construction of "zero-waste city" to be comprehensively promoted, and next, Changning District will follow the overall deployment of the construction of "zero-waste city" during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, focus on the goals and tasks of the construction of "zero-waste city", closely follow the actual situation and highlights of Changning District, compact responsibility, benchmark and table, refine item by item, cohesion, accelerate the construction of "zero-waste cells" such as zero-waste factories, zero-waste campuses, zero-waste hospitals, zero-waste institutions, and zero-waste express outlets, and strive to promote the construction of "zero-waste city" in Changning District to a new level. Achieve new results.
