Beijing: no more than 50% of garbage to landfill by 2012
By 2012 half of Beijing's garbage will be disposed of through incineration and biochemical treatment, both of which are more environment-friendly than the present landfill approach. According to the Beijing Municipal Commission of City Administration, the city will strive to build more new waste treatment facilities and reduce landfill disposal over the next few years. A commission official warned on June 8 that at the current annual growth rate of garbage discharge at 8%, Beijing would run out of space in its 13 landfills over the next four years. To resolve the problem, he explained on June 9 that Beijing will improve urban waste-treatment technology and capacity and give priority to planning and constructing waste-treatment facilities. Priority will be given to the technologies of incineration, integrated disposal and utilization of dining and kitchen waste as resources. More investment will go to household waste treatment.
