Core Viewpoint - The Guizhou Provincial Ecological Environment Department has issued a guiding announcement regarding the construction of hazardous waste utilization and disposal capacity, urging investors to rationally assess the demand for such projects in the province and effectively mitigate investment risks [1][2]. Group 1: Hazardous Waste Generation - Since the "14th Five-Year Plan," the overall generation of hazardous waste in Guizhou has shown a stable and slow growth trend, with a total generation of 1.0749 million tons expected in 2024 [1]. - The top five categories of hazardous waste generated include HW47 barium-containing waste, HW18 incineration residue, HW48 non-ferrous metal smelting waste, HW33 inorganic cyanide waste, and HW11 distillation residue, collectively accounting for 906,300 tons or 84.3% of the total generation [1]. Group 2: Utilization and Disposal Capacity - The overall operational load rate for hazardous waste utilization and disposal facilities in Guizhou is approximately 15.7%, indicating an excess capacity in collection, utilization, and disposal, particularly for categories such as waste lead-acid batteries, waste mineral oil, and aluminum ash [1]. - There are still certain shortcomings in the utilization and disposal capacity for specific hazardous waste categories, including pathological medical waste, incineration fly ash from municipal waste, and barium residue [1]. Group 3: Recommendations for Project Development - The Guizhou Provincial Ecological Environment Department recommends no new construction projects for hazardous waste categories with serious overcapacity, such as aluminum ash and waste lead-acid batteries [2]. - There is encouragement for the establishment of centralized disposal facilities for pathological medical waste and comprehensive utilization projects for hazardous waste categories with insufficient capacity, such as incineration fly ash and barium residue [2]. - The department also advocates for upgrading and transforming hazardous waste generating enterprises and enhancing research and development of advanced comprehensive utilization and disposal technologies to promote source reduction and resource utilization [2].
