Table 1 presents a list of HHW generation research results. The
HHW generation rate (g/person/day) in Suzhou was significantly
higher than other regions, both in terms of generation amount
and in terms of the proportion of HSW (with the exception of Mexicali,
Mexico). Some differences were very large. For instance, order
of magnitude differences in both the generation amount and percentage
composition were found among Suzhou and the Mekong
Delta of Vietnam. The differences in HHW yield among various
regions can be explained in several ways. First, the high rate of
HHW generation may stem from Chinese consumers’ wasteful
behavior (Wei, 2012)
