Examining public attitudes and perceptions of waste sorting in China through an urban heterogeneity lens: A social media analysis

Decreasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Municipal Solid Waste Sector in Chinese Cites

“…In 2019, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment launched the “zero-waste city” plan, designating 10 cities to spearhead endeavors aimed at minimizing waste generation, promoting recycling practices, and enhancing MSW management . Moreover, MSW classification policies have been implemented in cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing, to increase the efficiency of incineration by separating out recyclable and hazardous waste, ensuring that the MSW sent to incinerators is more suitable for incineration. , Accurately qualifying and forecasting the GHG emission reduction benefits of the MSW sector resulting from these policies can provide a reference for MSWM in other developing countries and assist the policymakers to design future GHG mitigation strategies.…”
