The construction of “zero-waste city” in China proposed the targets of urban solid waste management，which contains minimizing waste generation amounts，realizing sufficient resource utilization，and safe disposal of waste. To achieve these goals，it is necessary to integrate the effective treatment，disposal，and resource recovery of multiple types of urban solid waste，and build optimal cyclic metabolic pathways for urban resources. However，currently many types of urban solid waste in China are treated by their respective technologies isolatedly，lacking effective combination of material and energy flows among different technology chains. This situation has remarkably restricted the potential of resource recycling in urban solid waste management. Therefore，the optimization of urban resource metabolism should plan the effective co-processing of multiple types of solid waste as a whole，to promote the transformation from traditional linear metabolic mode of “resource-waste” to circular metabolic mode of “resource-waste-renewable resource”. It is recommended to enhance the park-building strategy of solid waste management，which contains the management processes from source classification and reduction to final treatment and disposal. The symbiosis among solid waste treatment facilities can realize orderly material cycling and cascaded utilization of energy，which is beneficial for establishing the green and circular development mode for cities，and can provide scientific support for the overall planning of “zero-waste city” and reform of sustainable management of urban solid waste.
