Abstract

The large amount of solid waste in China, if not properly handled, will cause serious environmental problems, lead to a waste of resources, and bring about adverse effects on society. Solid waste is a misplaced resource; thus, reducing or resource utilization solid waste to build a "no-waste society" will yield significant environmental, social, and economic benefits. Based on an analysis of significant existing problems hindering the construction of a "no-waste society" in China, along with feasibility studies, this paper suggests that it is necessary to promote the resource utilization of solid waste by piloting "no-waste city," from which to build a "no-waste society." Other strategic suggestions such as strengthening the top-level design, consolidating a foundation, defining stage objectives, and increasing policy support are also proposed in this paper.
