In recent years, we have always been“smog”Whether it is the media or the public themselves, they are discussing the causes and harms of smog. From the sensory perspective, air pollution seems to be the most serious problem in our environmental protection industry. In fact, it is not. There is a wider scope than smog. , more serious and far-reaching environmental problems have already spread, and this is the——Garbage Pollution How serious is garbage pollution in my country? Let’s go directly to a set of data to illustrate that China currently adds about 1 billion tons of garbage every year, including about 400 million tons of domestic waste and about 600 million tons of industrial waste. From 2004 In the beginning, as the largest developing country, we have already become the largest garbage producer. If a truck with a loading capacity of 2.5 tons is used to transport 1 billion tons of garbage every year, one by one, the length can go around the earth 40 times!! And this is only the incremental part, our city garbage stock in China has exceeded 80 100 million tons, imagine us living in the city, besieged on all sides, surrounded by garbage, making people shudder. And what about the situation in the countryside? It's even worse than the city. People who have been to China's rural areas basically feel that one word“dirty”. China's 40,000 townships and nearly 600,000 administrative villages generate more than 280 million tons of domestic waste each year, surpassing that of cities. Garbage not only occupies scarce land, but also seriously endangers human health. The value of resource loss caused by garbage in my country exceeds 20 billion yuan every year. Huge waste production has brought new market opportunities to the solid waste treatment industry. In recent years, the continuous introduction of relevant policies has also prompted the rapid opening of the solid waste market. Last time we said that the basic pattern in the field of environmental protection is“water, land and air”+“solid waste”+“Serve”, this time we focus on the aspect of solid waste. Please click here to enter a picture to describe the solid waste industry in which there are many sub-segments, mainly including industrial solid waste, municipal waste, kitchen waste, hazardous waste, solid waste recycling, etc. Except for industrial solid waste, the current development has entered a mature stage In addition, other segments are in their infancy and growth stage. And in the process of building the entire industrial chain and even the large ecosystem of environmental protection companies, solid waste has a deeper market dimension than water and atmospheric governance. 1. Garbage Incineration Above, we have introduced the increasingly serious phenomenon of garbage siege. You must have a question. Are there no garbage sieges in developed countries? They do not generate garbage? , but the way it is handled is different. At present, the main methods of garbage disposal are landfill, composting, and incineration. The reason why my country is surrounded by garbage is that a simple and convenient landfill method is widely adopted. This method can still work in the early stage of national construction and development, because the cost is low. But when the country develops to a certain stage, this landfill method is like a ticking time bomb. As shown in the picture below: Please click here to enter the picture description The yellow dots in the picture above are all landfills around Beijing. Can Beijing be expanded to the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Ring Roads? Do you want to build buildings on top of the landfills? Take a look In this picture, from the perspective of environmental protection, the importance of developing the Xiongan New Area is self-evident. You don't simply think that the garbage buried in the ground will be safe and secure there. The years will be quiet and peaceful. It will corrode and transform with time. It takes 4,000 years for glass products such as beer bottles to decompose, and 100 years for plastic products. In this way, we can only leave a huge garbage dump for future generations, and the garbage buried in the ground may cause land subsidence to produce methane and leachate, and methane is likely to bring fire and explosion accidents, so these garbage dumps are called Time bombs are never an exaggeration. Do people living in the imperial capital feel a sudden tremor? So, landfill is definitely not a long-term solution!! Then the rest is composting and incineration. Although the composting method covers a small area, it is faced with the problem of non-fermentation. The problem of garbage separation is that not all garbage can be fermented and processed, so it may indirectly cause high cost and low disposal efficiency, and it is not suitable to be promoted as a mainstream treatment method at present. The only thing left is incineration, which is also the method mainly used in developed countries at present. Among the domestic waste treatment methods in Germany, incineration accounts for 37%, the remaining 62% is recycled, and only 1% is landfilled. In neighboring Japan, waste incineration accounts for 79.8%, recycling accounts for 19%, and the remaining 1.2% adopts landfill method. Friends who have been to Japan feel that Japan is clean, and it is difficult to find trash cans. This has nothing to do with their waste disposal. The way doesn't matter. In my country, 34% are currently incinerated (and the incineration is not in place), 64% are landfilled, and other methods account for 2%. Can be described as“Serving the present, harming future generations”. The incineration method has the characteristics of high efficiency, small footprint and resource utilization at the back end. Facing the current situation of land scarcity and extensive garbage collection in the central and eastern parts of my country, garbage incineration can perfectly solve the pain point.
