"Gold Rush" in the Trash

  Pour in the leftovers and leftovers, and after decomposing them, they become organic "soil".

Recently, a new technology and equipment that utilizes biological processes to treat garbage landed at the kitchen waste disposal point of the Environmental Sanitation Center of Jimsar County, Xinjiang.

It is understood that the kitchen waste treatment equipment can decompose and ferment the kitchen waste into organic fertilizer through the biological flora in a short period of time, realize the on-site, harmless and resource treatment of kitchen waste, and achieve no waste gas, No discharge of waste water and waste, turning kitchen waste into treasure.

  This year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and waste sorting will enter a brand new five years.

Not long ago, the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment and Perfection of a Green and Low-Carbon Circular Development Economic System" issued by the State Council proposed to strengthen the recycling and utilization of renewable resources, promote the integration of the two networks, and improve the green fee pricing mechanism.

  Industry insiders pointed out that under the promotion of national policies, my country's waste sorting industry will further release the circular economy market, and the renewable resource industry, solid waste treatment industry, waste sorting industry, and sanitation industry will usher in a dividend period.

  Promising market prospects

  In a community on Mashan Road in Urumqi, a garbage sorting room is particularly conspicuous. The garbage sorting room is equipped with four different types of garbage disposal windows. When residents approach, the windows will automatically open to avoid direct contact with people.

  Urumqi City produces 4,500 tons of domestic waste every day. As one of the 46 pilot cities for domestic waste classification in the country, the city plans to invest 706 million yuan to achieve full coverage of domestic waste classification in residential areas within two years to accelerate the promotion of domestic waste classification.

By the end of last year, Urumqi City had basically completed a domestic waste sorting and processing system.

  Hexingyuan Community is the first community in Urumqi to carry out a waste sorting trial. Xinjiang Siji Jinba Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. entered the community to test the waste sorting market in May last year based on years of experience in recycling waste materials.

"Garbage is a'baby', and the garbage sorting market is a rich ore that needs to be developed urgently." said Ji Xuesi, the person in charge of the company.

It is understood that the company takes garbage classification and comprehensive resource reuse as its development direction, and invests 10 million yuan to build a factory and produce smart garbage houses.

  Urumqi Yinengda Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is also a company that is optimistic about the prospects of waste sorting.

This company, which is mainly engaged in the modification of special vehicles and the production of environmental sanitation equipment, quickly shifted to the production of smart trash bins at the beginning of the country’s advocacy of waste classification. Smart trash cans and underground smart trash cans.

Zhang Zhixiang, director of the company's network operations, said that currently only the construction of waste sorting infrastructure has brought greater benefits to the company.

  According to statistics, the national market for waste sorting services will exceed 61 billion yuan in 2020, and the investment market for kitchen waste treatment facilities during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period will reach 100 billion yuan.

According to the data from Tianyan Check, the number of registered enterprises related to waste sorting and disposal in my country has been increasing over the past ten years, and there are currently more than 600,000 enterprises.

Among them, 149,000 will be added in 2020, with an annual growth rate of 26%.

  Looking for "gold rush" points

  The kitchen waste biochemical treatment workshop of the Environmental Sanitation Center of Jimusaer County, Xinjiang is the core "front" of swill treatment. The steel machine is also inlaid with an LCD control panel and several control buttons.

The kitchen waste treatment equipment adopts advanced intelligent modular technology and integrates pretreatment, biological treatment and deodorization purification systems, which can treat up to 99% of the kitchen waste in harmless treatment and resource recycling.

  It is understood that there are many ways to dispose of domestic waste. At present, the main methods are landfill, composting, incineration, pyrolysis, biochemistry, etc. All localities choose the treatment method according to the composition of the waste, the level of economic development, natural conditions and traditional habits.

Although the methods are different, harmlessness, resource utilization, and reduction are the common development direction.

  With the advancement of waste classification, the development of the sanitation equipment industry has been the most obvious.

Fujian Longma Environmental Sanitation Equipment Co., Ltd. has made continuous development in the past few days. In particular, according to market changes, it has developed products in the three directions of "performance improvement, garbage classification, and intelligent upgrade" of environmental sanitation equipment, except for high-altitude dust suppression vehicles and compact garbage trucks. In addition to new products such as large garbage crushers, in terms of intelligent product research and development, the 2.0 version of the driverless road sweeper has been upgraded, and it has been successfully selected as the first batch of service-oriented manufacturing demonstration enterprises of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

  The “reconstruction” of kitchen waste, the “upgrading” of other waste, and the “purification” of hazardous waste... The reporter learned that garbage disposal companies are constantly looking for "gold rush" points.

At present, waste incineration power plants have been built in many places.

Incineration of 1 ton of garbage can generate 280 kWh of electricity. The remaining slag after incineration is pre-processed to separate metals, and processed into cement standard bricks and cement nine-hole bricks. 1 ton of slag can produce 315 cement standard bricks.

  Nowadays, more and more investors and entrepreneurs have entered the waste sorting industry, exploring how to integrate all aspects of the waste sorting industry to form a perfect market-oriented operation system belonging to the waste sorting industry.

  Innovation drives development

  According to Zhang Wei, chairman of Urumqi Yinengda Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the company has developed a fully intelligent waste sorting and collection device, which is equipped with a big data cloud platform for intelligent waste sorting, which can be bound to residents by real-name registration, such as correct delivery. You can redeem for cash or prizes.

At present, nearly 1,000 units of this equipment have been deployed in various communities across Xinjiang.

  It is understood that the emerging things, industries, technologies, and service models brought about by garbage classification will affect the future direction of garbage classification.

Industry insiders pointed out that in order to innovate and develop in development, innovative products under the garbage classification policy have more analytical value now.

  At present, most of the waste sorting work is in the form of government subsidies to support the development of industries and enterprises.

Industry insiders pointed out that with the gradual opening of the industrial chain system barriers and after the market is basically mature and stable, the government will definitely stop "blood transfusion." Therefore, waste sorting industries and enterprises can only increase the amount of recycled resources recovered and realize the economic benefits of renewable resources. Maximize, enable it to have self-"blood-making" ability, to ensure the healthy and orderly development of industries and enterprises.

  Liu Kehua, a member of the CPPCC Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, suggested that an information platform for the recycling and utilization of renewable resources should be established to provide information on types of recycling, transaction prices, and recycling methods, so that renewable resource recycling companies can conduct transactions and realize the use of waste as a resource.

  At present, many garbage sorting companies have begun to focus on the research and development of basic equipment, relying on the Internet, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and other technologies to realize the synchronous operation of hardware equipment and software systems.

Through the self-developed APP or mobile background, the residents' garbage classification behavior can be detected, so as to facilitate timely and accurate data statistics, and realize the intelligent and standardized development of garbage classification.
