Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the transformation of the waste incineration industry in China, highlighting the shift from a "garbage siege" to a situation where there is insufficient waste to meet the operational capacity of incineration plants, leading to a competitive environment for waste collection and processing [4][15][33]. Group 1: Industry Overview - Ten years ago, the issue of "garbage siege" was prevalent, but now it is widely recognized that there is not enough waste to incinerate in China [4][15]. - The number of waste incineration plants in China has reached approximately 1,010, accounting for nearly half of the global total, with over 2,100 incineration plants worldwide [17][29]. - The average load rate of waste incineration plants in China is about 60%, indicating that 40% of capacity is underutilized [10][29]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - Waste incineration plants are competing fiercely for waste, with reports of facilities paying "introduction fees" to property companies for waste collection [5][9]. - Some cities are even reopening landfills to excavate buried waste, indicating a desperate need for more waste [7][8]. - The rapid increase in the number of incineration plants has led to a decline in the number of landfills, as incineration becomes the preferred method of waste management [31][33]. Group 3: Historical Context and Policy Impact - The shift in waste management policy began in 2003, transitioning from government responsibility to a model encouraging private investment through BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) schemes [20][21]. - Various supportive policies have been introduced over the years, including increased subsidies for renewable energy projects and stricter pollution control standards, which have facilitated the growth of the waste incineration industry [21][22][29].
