Yongkang strives to build a benchmark for "zero-waste city" in the county
"Clear water Yongkang River, fresh Lizhou City. "Not long ago, the promotion meeting of urban domestic waste and construction waste treatment in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province and the smart sanitation operation site will be held in Yongkang City.
Yongkang is not only an economically active hot land, but also a beautiful city with a pleasant ecology. Walking on the bank of the Yongkang River, the blue sky and white clouds and the turquoise river reflect each other. People swim on the plank road on the river, as if walking in a painting.
Such a picturesque scenery is inseparable from the construction of a "zero-waste city" in all industries and fields in Yongkang City. In recent years, the Yongkang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have actively responded to the deployment and call of the provincial and municipal governments, comprehensively improved the construction of "zero-waste cities" in the whole region, and strived to build a county-level "zero-waste city" with "advanced concepts, complete terminals, efficient management, national participation, and outstanding highlights", and successfully created a provincial three-star "zero-waste city" to help common prosperity and build "the world's hardware capital, quality and vitality Yongkang".
Implement systematic policies and comprehensively promote improvement
Since 2023, Yongkang City has cracked down on 8 cases of hazardous waste violations, with a penalty of 600,000 yuan, and completed the rectification of 47 suspected solid waste open-air stacking sites.
In addition to strengthening law enforcement, in recent years, Yongkang City has also used system, technology, market and regulatory reform and innovation as a means to build five major systems, including institutional guidance, source reduction, green recycling, digital empowerment, and multi-party co-governance, to promote the construction of a "zero-waste city" in the whole region.
In terms of institutional guidance, Yongkang City has compiled the "Yongkang Industrial Solid Waste Environmental Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2022-2025)", and issued guiding documents such as the "Yongkang City's Implementation Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Classification of Domestic Waste" to provide a strong institutional guarantee for systematically promoting the treatment of industrial solid waste and domestic waste.
In terms of digital empowerment, Yongkang City closely follows the context of digital reform, taps the potential of data according to local conditions, focuses on deepening the three major links of source reduction, transit transportation and end disposal, innovates and creates a digital application of the whole process supervision of food waste, and establishes a closed-loop supervision model of food waste that can be monitored, early warning, traceable and evaluated, and the case of Yongkang City's "realizing the digital transformation of the whole process supervision of food waste" has also been selected as an excellent case of the construction of a "zero-waste city" in Zhejiang Province.
In terms of source reduction, Yongkang City has always regarded garbage as a misplaced resource and advocated the formation of a green production and lifestyle.
"These straws weigh 1,600 kilograms and can be exchanged for 1,600 kilograms of organic fertilizer. Recently, Shi Hanbo, a grape grower in Tangxian Town, transported his grape straw to the collection point and exchanged it for organic fertilizer from the Tangxian Crop Straw Collection, Storage and Transportation Center.
It is understood that Tangxian Town is the "hometown of China's red Fuji grapes", and about 1,500 tons of straw are produced by grape pruning every year. As early as 2017, Yongkang took the lead in proposing the "straw for fertilizer" model in the province, and constantly improved it, using rice straw crushing and returning technology to the field and fruit, mulberry branch base technology, etc., through the scientific disposal of straw, successfully opened up the "farmer-storage-government" tripartite interest chain, so that the "ecological burden" into "green wealth". This case has also been selected as a best practice case for the construction of a "zero-waste city" in Zhejiang Province. At present, the comprehensive utilization rate of crop straw in Yongkang has increased to 98.33%.
Innovation and empowerment to help regulatory disposal
One hand grasps management, and the other hand seeks innovation. As the "hardware capital of China", Yongkang City provides a Yongkang model for the reduction of hazardous waste in the province's coating industry.
"The aluminum ash that enters the disposal equipment will be processed into high-alumina materials, quick-setting agents and other derivative products, realizing the resource utilization of aluminum ash. Zhejiang Kanglan Renewable Resources Technology Co., Ltd. staff Shi Keke introduced.
At present, the company disposes of 90,000 tons of aluminum ash and secondary aluminum ash annually, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 200,000 tons per year compared with the traditional aluminum making process, and has good economic, social and environmental benefits.
At present, a number of "zero-waste city" construction carrier units represented by Zhejiang Kanglan Renewable Resources Technology Co., Ltd. are actively creating a "zero-waste city" co-creation and sharing atmosphere, and promoting Yongkang to establish a solid waste reduction and promotion mechanism for the hardware coating industry with source substitution as the main carrier, forming a hazardous waste reduction cluster effect, and achieving an annual hazardous waste reduction of more than 700 tons, achieving a win-win situation of economic, social and environmental benefits.
Yongkang City has also reconstructed the treatment methods and supervision mode of industrial solid waste disposal through the Internet, big data and cloud computing, established the "Waste-free Yongkang" information supervision platform project, and created four application scenarios of "Solid Waste Business Center, Risk Control Center, Waste-free Scenario Center, and Comprehensive Evaluation Center", explored the formation of a "horizontal to the edge, vertical to the end" management model, and gradually realized the interconnection of five types of solid waste data and information.
There are not only scientific and technological digital innovations, but also institutional and institutional innovations. In Dachen Village, located in the south of Yongkang, the two village committees adhered to the guidance of party building and the women's federation to build a team of "five golden flowers" housekeepers for garbage classification, explore the formation of a "one joint and four fixed" model of garbage classification, and build garbage classification into a golden business card of the "future village" of eco-tourism, which was rated as a provincial top 100 waste-free cells in Zhejiang.
Now walking into Dachen Village, the small courtyard of the farmhouse is exquisite and chic, and the small bridge and flowing water are ancient. Today's Dachen Village is rich in tourism, with 1,500 B&B beds, several boutique B&Bs, and special tourist spots such as Shungeng Lane, Western Restaurant, Pigpen Coffee, Song Yun Restaurant, etc., with an annual tourism income of more than 30 million yuan and an annual income of more than 2 million yuan for the village collective economy. Chen Jianwei, secretary of the party branch of the village, said.
Multi-party co-governance to create a "no waste" atmosphere
To build a "zero-waste city", the most basic task is to start from cultivating "zero-waste cells". From factories, schools, scenic spots, etc., to the family, the smallest unit in society, to create a high-quality waste-free boutique line, so that waste-free units bloom everywhere in Yongkang.
Duantou Natural Village, Duanyan Village, Zhoushan Town, Yongkang City, is a small village with mountains and rivers. But the village's most famous "attraction" turned out to be the village garbage collection point, which transports 38 grams of garbage per capita every day, which is less than the weight of an egg.
"We treat waste with the utmost care and do a good job of reusing it. Xiang Aiyin, a cleaner, is disassembling a cigarette box, the outermost layer of low-value plastic, the inner layer of cigarette shells, and the innermost layer of tin foil, all of which she disassembles and classifies and stores them one by one.
At present, in Duanyan Village, not only cleaners, but also every villager can classify garbage, understand garbage classification, and want to classify garbage. And this is all thanks to the village's implementation of "party building +" led by environmental remediation and "garbage classification end model", giving full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members, and driving the villagers by party members to achieve great changes in the appearance of the village from point to area, from small to large, and successfully create a provincial-level beautiful rural boutique demonstration village, becoming a well-known Internet celebrity village throughout the country.
Now, the photography town base of Zhejiang Province has settled here, and Duanyan Village is getting smoother and smoother on the broad road of common prosperity.
In addition to the spread of the concept of zero waste in the countryside and the construction of "zero waste villages", Yongkang City has also vigorously carried out the creation of "zero waste schools". "Through a series of activities, our school has reduced the garbage on campus, standardized the classification, and made the environment cleaner, and the 'zero-waste concept' has infiltrated the hearts of every teacher and student. Fang Jiefeng, the person in charge of Yongkang Chengxi Primary School, introduced that the creation of "zero-waste school" has gradually made the environmental awareness of teachers and students a conscious habit.
It is reported that the various departments of the school are linked, through the cleaning activities between classes, the classification of essay activities, theme practice activities, cherish food, save water, electricity, paper, etc., the formation of top-down environmental education and campus environmental protection, health work team, effectively improve the environmental awareness of all students, cultivate students' classification behavior habits, and effectively promote the development of campus sanitation work and greening environmental work.
In addition, the "zero-waste factory", as one of the important cell projects for the construction of a "zero-waste city", is also solidly promoted in Yongkang City.
"We adhere to the principles of reduction, recycling, and harmlessness, and strengthen the comprehensive management of solid waste. Wang Yuebin, head of the waste-free factory of Wang Li Security Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that the company will run the concept of "no waste" through the whole production process.
It is reported that the innovative design of the waste-free factory Wang Li security energy integrated management and monitoring system has realized real-time monitoring of major energy-consuming equipment, real-time collection and analysis of natural gas, water, electricity and other energy consumption, to achieve intelligent and digital management level.
Nowadays, from life to production, Yongkang City has realized the comprehensive rollout of "zero-waste cells", and is vigorously promoting the quality and expansion of "zero-waste city cells", focusing on giving full play to the radiation and driving role of "zero-waste urban cells", and promoting all walks of life to integrate the concept of "zero-waste" into the whole process of production and life. Up to now, Yongkang has completed the creation of 750 waste-free cells.
"Next, we will follow the green and high-quality development context, unswervingly follow the path of green development with a higher position and higher standards, make precise efforts to fight the combination of pollution prevention and control, and support high-quality development with a high-quality ecological environment. Shi Haiou, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Yongkang Branch of the Jinhua Ecological Environment Bureau, said.
