Why should garbage be classified?

At present, two-thirds of cities in China are facing the dilemma of "garbage besieged city", and garbage classification can reduce the per capita domestic garbage output by two-thirds. The specific functions are as follows:

1, reducing land occupation

Some substances in domestic garbage are not easy to degrade, which makes the land seriously eroded. Garbage sorting, removing recyclable and non-degradable substances, reducing the amount of garbage by more than 60%.

Garbage sorting can reduce the occupied area, reduce the serious erosion of land, and turn waste into treasure. For example, a finished can can can be used as a pen container, which is environmentally friendly and saves resources.

Step 2 reduce pollution

At present, sanitary landfill or even simple landfill is mostly used in garbage disposal in China, covering tens of thousands of acres; In addition, insects and flies fly around, sewage overflows and stinks, which seriously pollutes the environment. Waste plastics in soil will lead to crop yield reduction, and waste plastics will be eaten by animals by mistake, resulting in animal deaths from time to time.

Step 3 turn waste into treasure

30%~40% of domestic garbage can be recycled, so we should cherish this small-scale and large-scale resource. You can also use cans as pencil boxes, which is environmentally friendly and saves resources.

In addition, other substances in garbage can also be converted into resources. Recycling is the best way to solve the garbage problem if the garbage generated in the consumption link is classified in time.

Principle of garbage classification

1. Bundled services, focusing on performance.

In the case that residents have not taken voluntary actions and the resources of neighborhood committees and governments are insufficient, enterprises such as property management companies need to intervene to promote classified emissions.

2, according to local conditions

Different places, regions, societies (districts) and communities have different geography, economic development level, waste recycling capacity of enterprises, sources of residents, living habits, economic and psychological endurance.

3. Penalties for emission reduction subsidies exceeding emission limits

Formulate waste emission standards for units and residents, and subsidize those below this emission standard; Those who exceed this emission standard will be punished. The more emission reduction, the more subsidies, the more excessive standards, the heavier punishment, and improve the enthusiasm of units and residents to implement source emission reduction and emission control.
