Recently, Nanchang City announced the latest progress in the construction of a "waste free city", with a total of 76 "waste free cells" built. Meanwhile, according to the information provided by the Ecological Environment Bureau of Nanchang City, in 2024, the total amount of solid waste generated in Nanchang City will be 26.1257 million tons. The comprehensive utilization rate of general industrial solid waste will reach 96.14%, and the resource utilization rate of domestic waste will continue to remain stable at over 80%. Multiple indicators have reached the expected targets by 2025 ahead of schedule, and the level of comprehensive utilization of solid waste has significantly improved.

The reporter learned that, under the premise of meeting technical standards, recycled aggregates can be used as environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternatives to natural sand and gravel, and can be used in fields such as concrete, cement products, and roadbed engineering, thus returning to the construction of buildings, roads, and landscaping. In this way, it not only reduces the exploitation of sand and gravel resources, but also effectively prevents construction waste pollution.

The construction of a 'zero waste city' is connected to reducing pollution and carbon emissions on one hand, and to the daily lives of the people on the other. This beautiful construction that started with the people and benefits the people has sprouted from top-level design and its roots have reached thousands of households.

Based on this, Nanchang City has formulated the "Guidelines for the Construction of 'Waste Free Cells' in Nanchang City (Trial)", which refines the concept of' waste free cities' into tangible and perceptible 'waste free cells'. By setting a benchmark, the concept of' waste free 'has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Waste classification, Clean Your Plate Campaign, green consumption, low-carbon travel, sharing economy... From "waste free city" to "waste free life", the urban atmosphere of "waste free" is quietly forming.

Based on a batch of resource utilization projects, "said Xiong Yue, the head of the Soil Science Department of Nanchang Ecological Environment Bureau. The" Implementation Plan for the Construction of a 'Waste Free City' "launched by Nanchang City in 2024 not only clarifies the work goals of basically building a 'waste free city' by 2027 and fully building a 'waste free city' by 2030, but also combines the actual situation to launch two types of project lists for the first time in the province, totaling 28 projects.

Through these project lists, the future vision of Nanchang as a 'waste free city' is clearly visible.

Accelerated reduction of solid waste at the source; Scrap cars can be dismantled and reused, and broken materials such as water tanks and fan blades can be used to produce nylon insulation strip particles; Solid waste sludge is transformed into composite fuel in a magnificent way; Recycling construction waste into filter bricks; The level of harmless treatment of household waste is steadily improving; The circular economy industry system releases new development momentum... The spring water activated by the "zero waste and treatment" policy has turned more and more "economic burdens" into "resource rich mines", achieving a "win-win" situation for ecological and economic benefits.
