Status on Waste management before Agenda 21 China is currently in a pilot phase,introducing legislation of solid waste disposal,landfill and incineration facilities. Due to its large cost,advanced technologies for burial or burning the waste may not be suitable for dissemination until the future. A joint cooperation to develop out suitable technologies based on cost-effective analysis for safe disposal of solid waste is strongly recommended by local governments in China. In some pilot localities,such as Hangzhou and Shengzheng cities,low cost landfills are now under construction
Status on Waste management before Agenda 21 • China is currently in a pilot phase, introducing legislation of solid waste disposal, landfill and incineration facilities. • Due to its large cost, advanced technologies for burial or burning the waste may not be suitable for dissemination until the future. • A joint cooperation to develop out suitable technologies based on cost‐ effective analysis for safe disposal of solid waste is strongly recommended by local governments in China. • In some pilot localities, such as Hangzhou and Shengzheng cities, low cost landfills are now under construction
Challenges in Agenda 21 The mechanization level for waste collection and treatment is low. Equipment is obsolete and not suitable for the task. The scientific and technological level of waste treatment and disposal is in urgent need of improvement. In this area,active cooperation with international companies has been carried out. More such cooperation is expected to introduce or jointly develop suitable technologies for China
