China needs to introduce more incentives for enterprises and the public to promote waste classification and recycling, according to international experts.

Much attention also needs to be paid to public advocacy to enable attitudes toward production and consumption to change to help with implementation of management policies and measures, they said.

Agi Veres, country director of the United Nations Development Programme in China, said the country imported 45 million metric tons of solid waste in 2017. One of the reasons for these imports is that the waste brought in from developed countries is better classified, she said.
