As one of the most representative international metropolises in China, Shanghai has been actively promoting environmental protection and sustainable development. As an important part of environmental protection, garbage classification has been highly valued and vigorously promoted by the Shanghai Municipal Government.
Shanghai classifies domestic garbage into four categories: dry garbage, wet garbage, recyclable garbage and harmful waste, and has formulated detailed classification standards and delivery guidelines to guide citizens to develop good garbage classification habits through publicity and education and law enforcement inspection.
The implementation of garbage sorting in Shanghai is of great significance for improving resource utilization efficiency, reducing environmental pollution and improving urban environment. At the same time, it also helps to enhance citizens' environmental awareness and sense of responsibility, and promote the formation of a green and low-carbon lifestyle in society.
Advantages of garbage sorting
1. Resource recovery: Through garbage classification, recyclables, harmful waste, wet garbage and dry garbage can be collected and treated separately. Recyclable materials can be reused, reducing resource waste; Hazardous wastes can be specially treated to avoid harm to the environment and human health.
2. Reduce environmental pollution: Garbage classification can reduce the disorderly stacking and mixed treatment of garbage and reduce the pollution of garbage to the environment. In particular, proper treatment of hazardous wastes can prevent harmful substances from infiltrating into soil and water sources and protect the ecological environment.
3. Improve the quality of life: Garbage sorting can improve the quality of life and environmental sanitation of residents. Through garbage sorting, the odor and bacterial growth of garbage can be reduced and the living environment can be improved.
