BEIJING, Nov. 2 -- Chinese lawmakers have called for high awareness and prompt action to control solid waste which they believed to be a very serious problem.
Members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), headed by Chairman Zhang Dejiang, held an inquiry with officials of the State Council on the enforcement of the Solid Waste Control Law on Thursday afternoon, following panel discussions on the same topic in the morning.
Solid waste control should be high on the environmental protection agenda, said Zhang at the inquiry, calling for overall coordination in the enforcement of the law and other relevant laws, regulations and policies.
Improving solid waste processing and control can be an effective way for green development, promoting eco-friendly industrial development and lifestyles, he added.
"We should have the strictest standards of environmental protection," he said.
On Wednesday lawmakers heard a report from the NPC Standing Committee on the enforcement of the Solid Waste Control Law.
Each year, the country generates nearly 4 billion tonnes of waste from livestock and poultry, around 1 billion tonnes of crop straw, around 3.3 billion tonnes of general industrial solid waste and around 200 million tonnes of household waste in large and medium-sized cities, according to the report.
During the inquiry, lawmakers highlighted problems of hazardous waste control, domestic garbage processing in rural areas, waste sorting, recycling of construction and agricultural waste and pollution associated with electronic waste.
