上海启动为期三年的计划，以推动家庭垃圾分类运动 2026-06-02
Shanghai has launched a three-year action plan to advance its household waste-sorting campaign and accelerate the city's low-carbon transformation, lifting the wet waste separation rate to above 35 percent by 2028, local authorities announced on Tuesday.
Since the implementation of Shanghai's Household Waste Management Regulations in 2019, the city has made remarkable progress in waste classification, said Zhang Lixin, deputy director of the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau.
Resident sorting habits have been widely established, a full-process waste-sorting system has been set up, and the rate of resource utilization of domestic waste has continued to rise as waste-sorting becomes a popular eco-friendly trend among local residents, according to Zhang.
By 2028, Shanghai aims to further refine its full-process waste-sorting system. The city plans to raise the wet waste separation rate to above 35 percent compared with 35 percent by the end of 2025, maintain the purity of sorted wet waste at around 95 percent, and raise the household waste recycling rate above 48 percent, according to the plan.
To promote source reduction, Shanghai will ramp up control over single-use plastic products in key sectors, ban disposable amenities in the tourism and hospitality industry, and curb food waste. Authorities will tighten supervision on excessive product packaging, advance green transformation of express packaging and boost the use of recycled materials.
To foster low-carbon lifestyle, hotels and restaurants are prohibited from proactively providing disposable daily necessities and tableware. Green packaging reform will be accelerated in the express delivery sector, with a target of reusable packaging covering 14 percent of intra-city parcel deliveries.
Between 2025 and 2028, Shanghai plans to renovate over 300 outdated community waste collection sites annually. Upgrades will cover facility renewal, standardized signage, supporting equipment and public notice facilities to create cleaner and user-friendly sorting stations.
The city will establish a real-time early warning system for poor sorting performance in residential compounds, rural areas, public institutions, scenic spots, transportation hubs and commercial districts.
The upgraded recycling system will focus on securing stable recycling channels for low-value recyclables and building an incentive mechanism, including carbon credit incentives for public participation.
Authorities will optimize public waste bin layouts based on pedestrian flow and carry out refined sorting upgrades at 30 key public venues.
