Impacts of a municipal solid waste classification policy on carbon emissions: case study of Beijing, China
2024
Overview
National and local governments implement municipal solid waste classification policies to reduce waste disposal and minimize environmental pollution. Beijing started implementing its classification of municipal solid waste policy in May 2020. This study evaluates the impact of Beijing’s household waste classification policy on carbon emissions during collection, transportation, and treatment. The policy’s introduction reduced the number of trash bins, influenced transportation modes, and altered waste treatment emissions. We found a notable reduction in average net carbon emissions post-policy implementation (2403 kg CO2eq per metric ton of waste) compared with pre-policy (3584 kg CO2eq per metric ton of waste). If Beijing reaches its 2025 waste target, these emissions will decrease further to 1760 kg CO2eq per metric ton of waste. Translating these findings into monetary terms confirms this policy’s environmental and economic efficacy.
