from 2016 to early 2017，garbage management in China started entering a new stage. It was in this period of time that garbage management-relevant regulations and policies were released，and that classification of wastes，in particular，became a national policy for environmental protection. In the meantime，however，waste pollution was worsening；efforts in treating wastes and turning them into resources were facing an unprecedented crisis. When it comes to responding to the waste crisis，participation by companies，NGOs and the public is as important as government action. Based on a review of the evolution of China’s garbage issue and relevant measures，this Report offers an overview of new trends，signs and experience in China’s garbage management described in the Green Book of Environment this year.
