Phenomenon 6
Shopping malls have more guidance on sorting garbage for merchants
During the visit, the reporter found that shopping malls provided good guidance on garbage classification for merchants, and many shopping malls had developed special training materials.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Changyingtian Street property, the shopping mall has produced training materials based on the Chaoyang District Garbage Classification Guidelines Manual, as well as the Garbage Classification Mark and Garbage Classification Management Regulations.
For retail, catering, and special merchants, such as nail art, medicine, etc., separate garbage classification requirements that meet the characteristics of the merchants are proposed.
Each merchant has also developed its own garbage classification management manual.
The manual clarifies the various management tasks of waste sorting, such as training of shop assistants and setting up a person responsible for waste sorting.
At the same time, the manual contains all kinds of documents required for garbage classification, such as the cleaning and transportation contract, daily garbage collection and transportation records, and the garbage classification responsibility letter signed by the merchant.

The above-mentioned person in charge also said that due to the relatively large passenger flow in Tianjie, garbage classification only focuses on the construction of merchants, and it is basically difficult to meet the classification requirements of Beijing and the project itself.
Therefore, they are also consciously building the mall itself into a cultural bastion for the spread of garbage classification knowledge.
"Cooperate with government departments to cultivate people's awareness and habits of garbage classification in Tianjie as soon as possible under the background of the large garbage classification environment."
■ Response
The shopping mall said that the setting of trash bins follows the principle of adapting measures to local conditions
Why are there no food waste bins in public areas?
The reporter also interviewed several shopping malls. The relevant person in charge of Changyingtian Street said that the food waste bins are all located in the back kitchen, and there is no food waste bin in the front hall. If customers in the front hall want to throw soup with soup, they can ask the merchants Processing, then unified collection and processing by the mall.
The reason why there is no food waste bin in the front hall is mainly because of the consideration that commercial entities similar to Tianjie are basically dine-in. From the perspective of the shopping mall environment, they will not actively recruit some shops that are convenient for customers to eat while walking. It is easy to contaminate the marble floor, and the spillage will also cause safety problems.” The person in charge said that even if the customer has a small amount of small food, basically after eating, there will be wrapping paper or boxes, which are not kitchen waste; The situation is that customers will have a small amount of food left, or eat bananas or apples to go shopping, will produce banana peels, apple cores, etc., but no matter which form, the proportion is very small.
Therefore, it is not necessary to set up food waste bins or four-color bins on each floor of the shopping mall. This is also the principle of local conditions for garbage classification.
The above-mentioned person in charge stated that they have been communicating with the community regarding the establishment of food waste bins in the front hall, “We have noticed a problem, that is, the number of stall-style shops where customers can eat in the underground area has increased, but this area belongs to The subway is under management, and we are also connecting with them. If necessary, we can use our budget to add food waste bins in nearby areas."
