This paper discusses the outstanding problem of the large quantity of industrial solid waste in China and its insufficient comprehensive utilization. Scientific laws regarding resource development, industrial activity, and industrial solid waste production are analyzed, along with the development trends and future utilization potential of industrial solid waste. In view of major issues related to industrial solid waste management patterns, legal system construction, economic adjustment measures, and the technical and industrial market, in addition to the overall requirements of environmental protection and resource recycling for ecological civilization construction in China, this study suggests that the resource-utilization strategy for industrial solid waste should be performed as an important part of China's resource and environmental strategy. The study also puts forward a development roadmap with stage objectives and major future tasks.
