Vegetables are grown with water extracted from kitchen waste in Jiuxian sub-district, Tonglu county, East China’s Zhejiang province. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]<\/em><\/p>\n Garbage sorting is just one of many ways to help the earth become greener.<\/p>\n In the Jiuxian sub-district in Tonglu county, East China’s Zhejiang province, this initiative has literally yielded greener results – water extracted from waste is being used to grow vegetables.<\/p>\n According to a local official named Wang Fen, perishables collected were previously turned into fertilizer. But only a small group of people were using the fertilizer.<\/p>\n To address this issue, Hangzhou<\/a> Nanda Environmental Protection Technology Co Ltd and China Jiliang University built a special facility that decomposes perishables into water and air.<\/p>\n The authorities are currently experimenting with growing vegetables using the water extracted by the facility. This method of planting vegetables will be implemented on a large scale if it passes the tests conducted by professional institutions, according to Huang Yong, deputy head of operation and maintenance at Nanda Environmental Technology.<\/p>\n According to local authorities, Tonglu county saw a decrease in domestic garbage in 2021.<\/p>\n Tonglu’s household garbage volume edged down 0.02 percent in the past year thanks to sustained efforts by the local government to promote garbage classification, recycling and harmless disposal.<\/p>\n Jiuxian sub-district was a standout performer in the campaign. In 2021, domestic garbage in the sub-district dropped by 12 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n Wang noted that Jiuxian has also established several shops where residents can exchange recyclable garbage for daily necessities like tissue, toothpaste and notebooks.<\/p>\n Five such shops and a mobile facility have been set up in the sub-district to date.<\/p>\n In addition, 163 stations that recycle renewable resources have been built in Tonglu, among which 99 have started operation. The county has also established seven perishable waste disposal stations.<\/p>\n Media Contact<\/span>
