The essence of waste reduction

Contains three stages of connotation: reducing source generation, that is, fully considering minimizing waste generation from the product design and production stages; For example, eliminate excessive packaging; reduce the amount of intermediate transportation, that is, try to divert waste that can be used as resources from the beginning of garbage generation; reduce the amount of terminal processing, which essentially reduces the amount of landfill.

Compared with the traditional simple concept of garbage disposal, a scientific and comprehensive garbage management concept should be established, and an overall plan should be made for front-end garbage classification, intermediate collection, subdivision, storage and transportation, and end-end comprehensive disposal. Only by achieving coordinated efforts from source to end can we truly promote waste reduction, increase resource utilization and improve comprehensive processing efficiency.
