Summary
This is a machine-generated summary.
(1) The State Council issued a notice on further strengthening the governance of hazardous waste and strictly controlling environmental risks. The notice emphasizes the importance of implementing the guidelines to maintain ecological safety, promote the beautiful China initiative, and enhance environmental protection.
(2) To achieve these goals, the notice sets several targets for 2026, 2027, and 2030. By 2026, all key monitored units should have a fully digitalized monitoring system in place. By 2027, all relevant units should have a fully digitalized monitoring system, and the proportion of hazardous waste disposed of by burial should be stable or decreasing. By 2030, the proportion of hazardous waste disposed of by burial should be controlled at 10% or below, and environmental risks associated with hazardous waste should be effectively controlled.
(3) To achieve these goals, the notice proposes several measures. Firstly, it emphasizes the need to improve the collection and disposal of hazardous waste. This includes providing standardized and orderly collection and transportation services, deepening the collection pilot program for small and micro enterprises, and promoting the "grid-based" collection model. It also encourages the use of digitalized services for small and micro enterprises.
(4) Secondly, it proposes the optimization of medical waste collection and disposal. This includes establishing a medical waste collection and disposal system that meets the needs of local conditions, promoting the use of digitalized services, and optimizing the collection and disposal methods in remote areas.
(5) Thirdly, it proposes the optimization of hazardous waste utilization and disposal methods. This includes promoting the development of hazardous waste recycling and utilization technologies, encouraging the use of advanced technologies, and promoting the development of a hazardous waste recycling and utilization system.
(6) Fourthly, it proposes the strict control of hazardous waste burial and disposal. This includes reducing the proportion of hazardous waste disposed of by burial, restricting the direct burial of hazardous waste that can be reduced through utilization or incineration, and promoting the use of advanced technologies for hazardous waste burial and disposal.
(7) Fifthly, it proposes the strengthening of hazardous waste management systems. This includes deepening the standardization of hazardous waste management, strengthening the main body's responsibility, and promoting the development of a hazardous waste risk control mechanism.
(8) Sixthly, it proposes the strengthening of hazardous waste information management. This includes promoting the construction and application of a national hazardous waste management information system, promoting the online declaration of hazardous waste production, management planning, transfer documents, and utilization and disposal information, and promoting the use of big data to discover hazardous waste violations.
(9) Seventhly, it proposes the promotion of fine management of hazardous waste. This includes promoting the division of hazardous waste management into different levels and categories, establishing a hazardous waste risk control "bottom map," and strengthening the management of hazardous waste in key regions and industries.
(10) Eighthly, it proposes the strengthening of organizational implementation. This includes strengthening the organization and mechanisms of local environmental protection departments, refining work measures, strengthening departmental cooperation, and guiding and supervising enterprises to strictly implement hazardous waste environmental management systems.
(11) Ninthly, it proposes the deepening of scientific support. This includes strengthening hazardous waste basic scientific research, promoting the development of hazardous waste risk control and utilization and disposal technologies, and promoting the application of advanced hazardous waste utilization and disposal technologies.
(12) Finally, it proposes the strengthening of supervision and law enforcement. This includes strengthening supervision, monitoring, and law enforcement coordination, and continuing to severely punish environmental violations related to hazardous waste.
