Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government is enhancing the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste as part of its solid waste management strategy, focusing on reducing waste generation and improving recycling rates [1][2]. Group 1: Waste Reduction - The initiative aims to lower the intensity of industrial solid waste generation through green design and manufacturing practices [1]. - Key industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, and petrochemicals will be targeted for waste reduction efforts, promoting "waste-free" transformation in industrial parks and enterprises [1]. Group 2: Waste Utilization Improvement - The plan emphasizes increasing the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste and recycled resources, particularly focusing on typical categories like smelting slag, phosphogypsum, and red mud [2]. - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is pushing for technological advancements and industrialization in waste utilization, with a reported comprehensive utilization rate of 57% for major industrial solid waste in China [2].

人民财讯1月13日电，1月13日，国新办举行国务院政策例行吹风会，介绍《固体废物综合治理行动计 划》有关情况。工业和信息化部节能与综合利用司司长王鹏表示，"十四五"期间，工信部积极推动工业 固废综合利用工作，取得积极进展。相关行业协会统计数据显示，我国大宗工业固废综合利用率达到 57%，下一步，工信部将会同有关部门持续抓好工业固体废物综合利用工作，着力推动"一降一 升"，"一降"就是要降低工业固废产生强度，在生产前端推行绿色制造，在生产过程中推行绿色制造。 要聚焦钢铁、有色、石化、化工等重点产废行业。"一升"是要提升工业固废和再生资源的综合利用水 平，变废为宝。将强化大宗工业固废的综合利用，积极推进先进综合利用工艺技术研发和产业化，持续 遴选国家工业资源综合利用先进适用工艺技术设备目录，强化供需对接，推动先进工艺技术推广应用。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the initiative by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to collect typical cases of "waste-free parks" and "waste-free enterprises" to promote green and low-carbon industrial practices in China [3][4]. Group 1: Definition and Requirements - "Waste-free parks" are defined as industrial parks established for over three years, with a legal boundary, a unified management body, advanced production processes, low industrial solid waste generation intensity, high comprehensive utilization levels, and a sound solid waste management mechanism [4][5]. - "Waste-free enterprises" must also be established for over three years, have independent legal status, good credit records, advanced technology, low raw material consumption per product, and high comprehensive utilization rates of industrial solid waste [4][5]. Group 2: Basic Requirements for Applications - For "waste-free parks," the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste should be at least 90%, or it should have increased by over 20 percentage points in the last three years [5]. - For "waste-free enterprises," the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste should be at least 80%, or it should have increased by over 20 percentage points in the last three years. Additionally, the solid waste generation per product must be significantly lower than the industry average, or it should have decreased by at least 10% over the last three years [6][7]. Group 3: Work Arrangement - Local industrial and information departments, in collaboration with ecological environment departments, are tasked with guiding industrial parks and enterprises to voluntarily implement "waste-free" practices according to the "Guidelines for the Construction of Waste-Free Parks and Enterprises" [9]. - Successful cases of "waste-free" construction should be summarized and reported to the relevant authorities, promoting typical cases to encourage other parks and enterprises to adopt waste-free production models [9][10]. - By May 1, 2026, local departments are to recommend exemplary cases to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with a limit of five cases per region, focusing on those with significant waste generation and utilization challenges [10].
