Exploring the construction path of"Zero-waste City"for mineral resource-based cities in China
Mineral resource-based cities play a crucial role in ensuring energy resource safety and promoting healthy economic development in our country.These cities are characterized by the generation of a large amount of solid waste,overall low utilization rate,and prominent environmental pollution issues.How to construct the"zero-waste city"for mineral resource-based cities is an important topic during the China's"zero-waste city"construction and a key aspect of building a beautiful China.This article analyses the basic characteristics of mineral resource cities,such as distribution,classification and solid waste characteristics,and points out the challenges faced during the construction of"Zero-waste City",including insufficient integration of management systems,inadequate legal regulations and standards,insufficient technology for the"three transformations"of solid waste,and unclear distinctions between the resource and environment attributes of solid waste.This paper also summarizes the main achievements of China's"zero-waste city"construction and the typical experience regarding how mineral resource-based cities achieve the"Zero-waste"goal.In the process of advancing the construction of'zero-waste cities'in mineral resource-based cities,it is essential to learn from advanced and mature experiences,focus on top-level design,and prioritize the construction of legal regulations and standards.Simultaneously,emphasis should be placed on technological research and innovation,addressing key issues based on the actual conditions of the city,and establishing a comprehensive system for the collaborative utilization and disposal of multiple solid wastes.
