Huang Jinxing said that the work of waste reduction and recycling will not stop. Taking food waste recycling as an example, the power generation of food waste will be expanded from the industrial and commercial industry and government venues to residential estates by the end of this year. The participating housing estates have accumulated experience to make the environment cleaner and more hygienic.

It is expected that the daily processing capacity will be at least 20 metric tons, which is more energy-efficient than solar energy.

Huang Jinxing also pointed out that a green employment plan involving 1,000 positions will be launched, including more than 500 time-limited positions and the "college entrance plan", to hire fresh graduates to take up environmental protection work, to help promote and implement new environmental protection policies. The party will announce the details.

In addition, he pointed out that the recycling fund has provided one-time rent subsidy to the recycling industry, and also supports industry transformation. For example, through open tenders for waste paper recycling services, the waste paper has a stable way to go and at the same time, it also allows frontline scavengers to have better income. , And today will announce the details of the Education Promotion of Waste Reduction and Recycling 2.0.
