Chongqing, August 8 (Reporter Zhong Yi) The 19 Organic Solid Waste Treatment and Resource Utilization Conference kicked off in Chongqing on the 2023th.
As a professional scientific and technological event in the field of organic solid waste in China, the conference with the theme of "green empowerment and environmental protection, innovation leads development", attracted nearly 1,000 representatives from universities, research institutes and related enterprises across the country to participate, experts and scholars focused on "organic solid waste treatment and resource utilization" to carry out technical exchanges and dialogues.
"If solid waste is not properly treated and utilized, it will cause serious pollution to the environment and cause great waste of resources." Dai Xiaohu, professor of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering of Tongji University, introduced that solid waste has large output, multiple media, complex composition, and has the dual attributes of pollution and resources, and traditional treatment and disposal technologies have problems such as low conversion efficiency and insufficient resource utilization.

Dai Xiaohu said that a new round of scientific and technological revolution, research paradigm, and deep integration of production, education and research will provide a guarantee for the treatment of organic solid waste under the new situation. Among them, multidisciplinary cross-integration is the core element of organic solid waste technology innovation.
Hu Hualong, deputy director of the Solid Waste and Chemical Management Technology Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stressed the importance of building a "waste-free city". He said that "waste-free cities" are urban development models that promote the formation of green development methods and lifestyles, continue to promote the reduction of solid waste at source and resource utilization, minimize the amount of landfill, and minimize the environmental impact of solid waste. Its construction plays a good role in systematically solving the problem of urban solid waste management, accelerating the realization of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, promoting the high-quality development of regional economy, and improving urban management level and governance capacity.
How can megacities achieve high-quality and sustainable waste sorting? Liu Jianguo, a professor at the School of Environment at Tsinghua University, stressed that it is inseparable from the optimization of scientific and technological support systems and social coordination and pluralistic governance. In particular, it should be noted that the personnel team of the domestic waste treatment and recycling industry, as the main force of China's garbage classification collection, classified transportation, classified treatment, classified utilization industry, needs to gradually realize the rationalization of income, the rejuvenation of personnel and the professionalization of operations in serving this cause, and also have a real sense of gain, happiness and achievement.
"Without reasonable income and decent work, there can be no rejuvenation of the workforce; Without the youthful specialization of the team, it is impossible to modernize the garbage sorting business. Liu Jianguo said. (End)
