Packaging and Environmental Protection (1)

In recent years, with the urbanization of industrialized countries and rising levels of resident consumption, the growth of urban waste has been very rapid. The growth rate of garbage in developed countries is 3.2%-4.5%, and that of developing countries is 2%-3%. The annual global garbage production is about 10 billion tons, which is equivalent to 6 times of the world's total annual grain output. The environmental pollution caused by a large amount of garbage has become a worldwide problem. Therefore, garbage disposal has become a global hot topic accordingly, and related garbage disposal equipment and technologies are also of concern to people. In China, with the development of the economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, the production of solid waste is also increasing rapidly. At present, urban waste is increasing at a rate of 10% per year. It is predicted that in the next ten years, the production of urban waste will reach 150 million tons and the area will reach 60,000 hectares. For this reason, the problem of waste disposal and recycling has become a problem faced by the development of human society. So, how to solve this problem? From the point of view of many waste disposal methods abroad, the developed countries have come to the front. Through the following interesting stories, we can appreciate the importance of foreign countries in waste disposal and environmental protection.

Therefore, the city is clean all the year round, even if there are sporadic garbage occasionally, it will also be "missing."
Garbage Watching Contest: The Italian environmental protection department often holds a "Garbage Watcher" contest.
