Construction and analysis of ecological compensation mechanisms for cross provincial transfer of hazardous waste in some provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta region
The ecological compensation for the cross provincial transfer of hazardous waste(abbreviated as EC-method)is one of the important measures to implement the ecological civilization strategy.EC-method can effectively guide the ecological beneficiaries to fulfill their compensation obligations and promote the high-quality development of the hazardous waste utilization/disposal industry while ensuring provincial environmental fairness.This study explored the establishment of a market-based ecological compensation mechanism for the cross-provincial transfer of hazardous waste,relying on the system of paid use of pollution discharge rights.Based on the total cost adjustment model,it calculated the total costs of ecological construction and protection in the compensation-receiving areas.Additionally,it introduced ecological compensation coefficients and hazardous waste utilization and disposal coefficients to derive the revised formula for calculating ecological compensation funds.Hazardous waste generated in the Yangtze River Delta region is characterized by broad industrial coverage,diverse waste structures,and substantial inter-provincial transfer volumes.This makes it a representative case for studying the ecological compensation mechanism for the cross-provincial transfer of hazardous waste.Therefore,four neighboring provinces within the Yangtze River Delta region were selected as the study subjects for simulation.Examples of the calculation of ecological compensation amounts for hazardous waste transfers between provinces were provided,and a potential collection process was established.The research conclusion provides a new theoretical basis for the exploration and practice of EC-method,which serves as a beneficial supplement to promoting sustainable economic and social development.
