“固废十条”落地，扫除污染治理“最后死角”

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of the "Solid Waste Ten Measures" marks a significant advancement in China's pollution prevention efforts, transitioning from basic environmental protection to a higher goal of "waste-free urban areas," addressing the last corner of pollution control systematically [1][3]. Summary by Sections Solid Waste Management Action Plan - The "Solid Waste Ten Measures" aims to strengthen comprehensive solid waste management, contributing to the construction of a beautiful China and facilitating a green transformation of economic and social development [3]. - By 2030, significant improvements are expected in solid waste management, including effective control of historical waste stockpiles and a reduction in illegal dumping, with annual comprehensive utilization of major solid waste reaching 4.5 billion tons and recycling of main resources reaching 510 million tons [3]. Current Challenges in Solid Waste Management - The scale and complexity of solid waste generation in China present severe challenges, with 93.2 billion tons of solid waste produced across 315 cities in 2023, including 38 billion tons of industrial solid waste and 3.9 billion tons of household waste [5][6]. Policy Innovations and Implementation - The "Solid Waste Ten Measures" introduces groundbreaking regulations, including a requirement for local governments to allocate at least 1% of industrial land for resource recycling projects, addressing long-standing barriers to project implementation [8]. - The policy emphasizes the use of fiscal funds and the development of green finance to support projects, creating a "government-led + market-driven" investment mechanism [8]. Impact on Specific Industries - The measures are expected to significantly impact the lithium battery recycling sector, with the introduction of extended producer responsibility (EPR) to ensure that manufacturers take responsibility for recycling [11]. - The current lithium battery recycling market is undergoing a transformation driven by policy, with a shift towards compliance and scale, as companies adapt to new regulations and responsibilities [11].
