Abstract

Objective: This study aims to present publicly available data from the 2011-2020 China Statistical Yearbook, analyze the status of domestic waste management in China, and create a prognostic model based on the data analysis. Methods: By consulting the 2011-2020 China Statistical Yearbook results, this paper analyzes the domestic waste collection and disposal in the recent ten years. A prognostic model is established to study and identify the development trend of China’s domestic waste collection gap and disposal capacity gap in the next five years. Results: China’s domestic waste output increased gradually from 2010 to 2019. In 2019, the domestic waste output increased by 508.9 million tons compared with 2010, with an increased rate of 147%. In 2019, China’s domestic waste collection gap was 612.8 million tons, with an increased rate of 144.9% compared with 2010. In 2010 and 2019, China’s harmless disposal capacity gaps were 56.0 tons/day and 147.2 tons/day, respectively. Through the establishment of the prognostic model, the domestic waste collection gap and harmless disposal capacity gaps in China are expected to reach 823.7 million tons and 196.2 tons/day by 2024. Conclusion: The annual increase of waste output in China is related to the increase of per capita GDP. The waste collection and harmless disposal capacity gaps in China may continue to grow.
