Large Medium Small BEIJING - Four Chinese cities, including Qingdao, Guiyang, Xining, and Jiaxing, are planning to test an urban-waste recycling program with the help of Japan over the next four years.
China will learn from the advanced urban waste collection, classification and recycling practices of its neighbor in the coming years in order to build a safe and efficient waste recycling system of its own, Chinese government officials agreed at a launch ceremony of the cooperative scheme between the two countries held in Beijing Thursday.Related readings:
Kitchen waste recycling rules are key ingredient
New regulations on e-waste recycling to be enforced
Where there's muck there's brass
Recycle the old for a new lifeThe recycling system would target three kinds of urban waste, including kitchen garbage, used tires, and packaging, under the cooperative scheme jointly-initiated by China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The cooperation will last until February 2015.
"China produces 28 million tonnes of kitchen garbage each year, most of which is buried at dump sites. This not only pollutes the environment, but also occupies valuable land resources," said Nie Yongfeng, a professor with Tsinghua University.
"Some tiny kitchen waste is also dumped through sewage pipes in cities, which can cause blockage of the pipes and increase the difficulty of sewage treatment," Nie said.
China discards 120 million wasted tires each year, but the country's companies lack the capacity to fully recycle them.
NDRC officials said by facilitating advanced technologies for waste disposal, kitchen garbage can become an array of valuable resources such as bio-diesel, bio-gas and useful manure, instead of harmful rubbish.
The JICA China Office also said Japanese experts would start the cooperation with China as soon as possible and would go to these four cities for initial research.

伊勢神宮外宮 - Geku of Ise Grand Shrine // 2010.02.10 - 1
Ise Grand Shrine (伊勢神宮 Ise Jingū) is a Shinto shrine dedicated to goddess Amaterasu-�mikami, located in the city of Ise in Mie prefecture, Japan. Officially known simply as Jingū (神宮), Ise Jingū is in fact a shrine complex composed of a large number of Shinto shrines centered on two main shrines, Naikū (内宮) and Gekū (外宮).
The Inner Shrine, Naikū (also officially known as "Kotai Jingu"), is located in the town of Uji-tachi, south of central Ise City, and is dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu-�mikami. The Outer Shrine, Gekū (also officially known as "Toyouke Daijingu"), is located about six kilometers from Naikū and dedicated to Toyouke no �mikami, the deity of agriculture and industry. Besides Naikū and Gekū, there are an additional 123 Shinto shrines in Ise City and the surrounding areas, 91 of them connected to Naikū and 32 to Gekū.
Purportedly the home of the Sacred Mirror, the shrine is arguably one of Shinto's holiest and most important sites. Access to both sites is strictly limited, with the common public allowed to see little more than the thatched roofs of the central structures, hidden behind four tall wooden fences. The High Priest or Priestess of Ise Shrine must come from the Japanese Imperial Family, and is responsible for watching over the Shrine.
The two main shrines of Ise are joined by a pilgrimage road that passes through the old entertainment district of Furuichi. The region around the shrines consists of the Ise-Shima National Park and numerous other holy and historic sites including the 'wedded rocks' Meoto Iwa, and the Saiku (the site of the Heian period imperial residence).
