SHENZHEN is designing a new, high-tech way to treat its rubbish, basing the system in an area with the happy name Environmental Park.
"We'll integrate the existing garbage processing facilities and some new ones that we are planning to build into a complete system to upgrade the city's garbage treatment," Liang Songwen, chief of technology and equipment of SZ's environmental sanitation department, told Shenzhen Daily.
The area of Qingshuihe in northern Shenzhen features the city's best-equipped, not to mention largest, garbage treatment facilities. It includes a landfill, an incinerator and a diseased poultry and livestock treatment plant. In addition, more world-class facilities will be added over the next five years. They include second-phase construction of the existing incinerator, a medical waste incinerator, a plant for crushing big-block garbage, a sludge treatment factory and so on.
With all these in place, the "environmental park" will be up and running. It will also act as a base for the teaching of environmental protection and sanitation as well as for training and research.
Five years from now, the park is expected to deal with 3,500 tonnes of garbage each day. "The new system is actually a whole-process control treatment, taking care of garbage every step of the way," Song said.
The measures range from requiring manufacturers to minimize garbage output during the design stage to recycling and sorting garbage to turning it into resources.
