urban growth in per capita

municipal solid waste, is another problem. Shanghai in Shenbo clear mbts to more good the former, and not modern, will reduce the pollution treatment facilities, garbage and simply landfill. Over the past few years, Shanghai constantly building new facilities for the safe handling, such as old landfill in Hong Kong the fourth, and the Royal Bridge, Jiangqiao two waste incineration plants. However, life in Shanghai in 2008 was still only the safe handling of waste up to 77%. Either landfill or incinerator, more or less have the views of local residents, not complaints smell, the fear of carcinogenic dioxin emissions. Government in recent years to promote the mechanical biological disposal plants (MBT), the use of mechanical means for automatic sorting of waste, solid waste will be recycled components in the separation, on-site or elsewhere on the recovery of reusable products processed on the remaining biodegradable part of the anaerobic digestion or composting, is a more sustainable waste disposal technologies. Currently, Shanghai has been put into operation two Guessing MBT plants, the leading domestic level.

Despite infrastructure improvements, municipal solid waste problems still plague Shanghai. Although the In recent years, with the incineration plant and machinery increased biological disposal plants, waste utilization has been expanded, but the realization method of waste reduction have not been given sufficient attention, and this is precisely the strategy for sustainable waste management The most basic.

10 years of experience has shown that the generation of waste in Shanghai faster than the waste volume growth. The problem is not only in Shanghai, the rapid development of many other cities, how to reduce and dispose of waste will also be challenges to face. Residents took to the streets against the incinerator, the first of Beijing's Liulitun and high security Tuen, near Panyu in Guangdong. Therefore, the significance of Shanghai as a leading metropolis in the World Expo history, as the host city of a developing country, to further strengthen the long-term waste management, by monitoring the international advanced experience, move towards significance.

As of 2008, Shanghai's urban green coverage rate increased to 38%, almost double the 2000; urban growth in per capita public green area to 12.5 square meters, in less than 20 years, the increase of nearly 12 times. tomorrow As of the end of 2008, the city's forest area reached 9.5 million hectares, the forest coverage rate of 11.6% compared to 2000 doubled 4 times. Visible because of afforestation and the rapid development of the Expo.
