What is waste sorting?

Waste sorting refers to a series of activities that involve segregating, storing, disposing of, and transporting waste according to specific regulations or standards, thereby transforming it into a public resource. The goal of sorting is to enhance the resource and economic value of waste, striving to maximize its utilization.

Waste Sorting Standards

Household waste is typically sorted into four categories: recyclables, hazardous waste, kitchen waste, and other waste.

Recyclables are renewable resources—waste from household garbage that is uncontaminated and suitable for recovery and recycling. They primarily include five categories: discarded electrical and electronic equipment, waste paper, waste plastics, waste glass, and waste metals. At present, managing recyclables constitutes a key component of municipal solid waste sorting and plays a crucial role in reducing overall waste generation.

Electrical and electronic products category

Discarded computers, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, projectors, televisions, air conditioners, and more.

Paper products

1. Flat paper: newspapers, copy paper, flyers, wrapping paper, envelopes, cardboard, etc.;
