Through a series of policies and marketing measures, we build
a long term system of promoting waste recycling (venous)
industries and bring the plan of building a eco-friendly city in
Shenyang into reality.

1. Strategic measures to build an eco-friendly city
(1) Based on the idea of building a conservation-oriented society and developing circular
economy, we fully standardize, integrate and utilize the existing channels of collecting
renewable resources. The community collection sites as basic units, the distribution market
as the operation center, and with the purpose of recycling, processing and utilizing waste
resources - through the integration of those three elements, we establish the network systemof collecting recycling resources in Shenyang.

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city
(1) Focusing on developing resources-recycling industry
Build community
collection network

We establish community
waste collection sites
based on therequirements of "sevenunifications and onestandard", namely theunified planning,identification, clothes,prices, metrology, carsand management as wellas the operation standard.

Newly build and transform
renewable resources collection
stations in communities

Based on the principles of
optimal arrangement andconvenient transit, we set
up recycling transfer
stations as a whole.
Distributed recycling
resources are collected ata fixed time at thecommunity recycling sites
every day.

Build the network platform
for waste material collection
and trading

The exchange ofrecycling resource
information, online
dealing and service canbe carried out over theinternet, which isfavorable for all citizens
in knowing the prices ofrecycled resources,
selling channels, andrecycling conditions. At
the same time, theenterprises of utilizing
recycling resources canuse the platform for
publicizing companies,exhibiting products anddealing online.

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city
(2) Developing the classified disposal of solid waste
Taking the food waste classification as a breakthrough, we have carried out the classification
pilot projects and made phased advancement by gradual steps . First of all, we have chosen thecommunities where good-quality citizens live and and the level of property management isrelatively high, and carried out the household waste classification pilot projects. And then step bystep, we have improved the accuracy of classification of waste into four types: food waste,
recyclable waste, dangerous waste, and other waste.

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city(3) Regulating the dismantling industry in Shenyang
1. Waste car dismantling industry
We strengthen the overall control on the scrapped car dismantling industry andimplement the "demonstration project of upgrading scrapped car dismantlingenterprises".

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city(3) Regulating the dismantling industry in Shenyang
2. Waste household electric appliances dismantling industry
We formulate the regulations on the production, sales, use, and repairs of household electric
appliances and electronic products as well as on the collection and disposal of waste household
electric appliances in Shenyang. We establish the standard system of collecting waste household
electric appliances step by step, and focus on the recycling and disposing engineering for waste
household electric appliances.

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city
(4) Developing tire reproducing industry
Introduce large-scale enterprises that comprehensively use waste tire and plastic rubber withadvanced technology; establish the cooperation platform among universities, research institutes,
and enterprises and encourage enterprises to utilize new technology and develop new products,
such as hot melt and cold quenching technology by reusing waste tires, which makes theefficiency of recycling reach over 70%.

2. Strategies for building an eco-friendly city(5) Developing the industry for harmless treatment of solid waste
Solid waste
harmless treatment
Sludge treatment andcomprehensive utilizationindustry
Establish the collecting,transporting, handling anddisposal system for the sludge
produced from sewage
treatment plants; transform
existing production technology
or introduce producing lines andestablish the sludge disposal
demonstration projects; thesludge after treatment can beused as aggregate of concrete,
brick and tile products and roadembankment, and filling forconstruction projects.

Household waste landfill gas
power generation industry andhousehold waste incineration
power generation industry
Build the landfill gas power
generation industry to generate
electricity from household wastegas. The Shenyang Laohuchonglandfill gas power generation
project was completed and started
the operation in April 2008. And
next, Shenyang will start thehousehold waste incineration
power generation according to theplan.

3. The functions of local government in building
an eco-friendly city
(1) Establish the laws and regulations system

Renewable
resources
collection

We introduced the"Renewable Resources
Recycling Regulations inShenyang" to manage
resource recycling industries
in Shenyang from theperspective of standard
market development. At thesame time, we control theoutflow of renewable
resources in quantity from
Shenyang from theperspective of protecting
industrial raw materials.

Solidwaste
classified
collection

We introduced the"Household Waste
Management Regulationsin Shenyang", which
include the contents suchas household waste
classification, waste fees
estimate, andconstruction of waste
disposal plant.
