Overview: Solid Waste in China
3
Driven byUrbanization & Industrial Development
0.5 kg per day in 1980s, 0.7 kg per day in 1990s, and exceeding 1 kg per day in 2000s
Almost 1/3 solid waste generated in the world comes from China
Volume of waste is growing by 10% per annum 400,000 tons 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

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): 500 MW 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.

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 increaseDemand increase
Government is promoting incineration and recycling industries
More private business involved Diversifying market needs
Kitchen waste compostingDemolition waste treatment equipmentElectronic waste recyclingMedical 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
