From the Chinese press Make kitchen waste disposal safe

With the rapid development of the catering industry, the amount of garbage generated in big cities has increased, adding to the problem of waste disposal. And with "reused cooking oil" and "garbage pigs" threatening food safety, the authorities need to take immediate action to ensure public health, says an article on xinhuanet.com. Excerpts:

On Aug 2, several ministries announced the establishment of a special fund of 630 million yuan ($98.58 million) for the development of circular economy to support recycling and bio-safe disposal of garbage, including kitchen waste, and help ensure scientific disposal of garbage.

But even before the fund and measures were announced, regulations to properly dispose kitchen waste were in place. It's only that legal recycling companies could not compete with illegal ones because of lack of proper mechanism and interest at the local execution level. With illegal recycling companies in the business, many unsafe wastes have found their way back to dining tables.
