Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste (Revised Draft) (Draft for Comment)", which has attracted widespread attention.

The current "Solid Waste Law" has been implemented since 1996 and the first major revision was made in 2004.

For the coating industry, solid waste treatment is also one of the key points of environmental protection transformation.

It is understood that the state stipulates that the solid waste generated by enterprises must be handled by a qualified third party, but at present, the processing capacity of waste processors in China is limited and the level is uneven.
What is even more troublesome is that the state can provide waste treatment qualification certification agencies is limited, although localities are actively expanding waste treatment capacity, but still serious "production" insufficient demand, some companies have 3-5 months each year No suitable third party can be found to deal with the waste.
And treatment cost pressure is very high, especially in some southern cities, the cost of waste incineration even reaches 18,000 yuan/ton.
PPG's annual waste disposal cost in the Asia-Pacific region ranks first.
Environmental solid waste technology researchers believe that: "Insufficient scientific and technological support capabilities, lack of basic research, and unclear hazardous waste identification institutions and identification procedures.
These are all reasons for the current soaring cost of solid waste treatment.

The state vigorously cracks down on the illegal disposal of solid waste

The nationwide "removal" operation not only focused on the source of production, but also did not relax the control on the transfer route.
Recently, in view of the frequent occurrence of illegal transfer and disposal of hazardous waste and domestic waste across provinces in many places in Guangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi signed the "Guangdong-Guangxi Hazardous Waste Inter-provincial Illegal Transfer and Joint Prevention and Control Cooperation Agreement" to establish a trustworthy unit for the transfer and disposal of hazardous waste in the two provinces Directory to reduce illegal transfers.

From the initiation of the "Waste Removal Action" to the revision of the "Solid Waste Law", from the central government's order to the local implementation, solid waste has become one of the priorities of the country's environmental protection work from the "obscurity" in environmental protection work in the past.
It is foreseeable that the pressure on environmental protection will increase in the future.
