5. The analysis of management policy of construction waste in Beijing
Under the analysis of the current management regulations of construction waste in Beijing and the
experience in the developed countries, the problems in the construction waste management in Beijing are
followed:
5.1Lack of effective management policy
Up to now there isn’t a special local regulation to construction waste in Beijing, and there are some
incomplete aspects in current management regulation. In terms of the environmental hazards, the whole
proceeding of the headstream, transport, disposal should all be contained in the management. In terms of
natural resources and environment management, develop and management about reclamation should also
be contained. In present, the management in Beijing is just from the standpoint of appearance environment
to solve the illegal behavior such as transport by stealth and pouring at random, it isn’t enough extremely.
5.2Lack of producer responsibility
“Producer responsibility” means that developer or building units are responsible for the construction
waste produced during the productive activities. For example, builders must enhance the management level, reduce the construction waste. The discharge norm of construction waste, charge on the excess part and recovery rate construction waste of are also defined. Waste packing material account for 25%-30% in
construction waste, so if the “Producer responsibility” is followed severely the production can be reduced
dramatically.
5.3The low charge of construction waste
At present the charge standard of construction waste in Beijing 1.5 RMB per ton. The aim is to
encourage the construction waste reusing and enhance the comprehensive utilization rate and reduce the
final disposal quantity. But such low charge standard is hard to reach the aims of encourage the
construction waste reusing and enhance the comprehensive utilization rate, so the pressing matter of the
moment is to increase the charge standard of construction waste.
5.4Lack of discharge standard of construction waste
Currently, there hasn’t been statistics and analysis of construction waste quantity produced by different
structure buildings and discharge standard of construction waste. To reduce construction waste quantity
relevant departments are supposed to make a general investigation to ascertain the output of construction
waste to establish discharge standard of construction waste. On the basis of the discharge standard, the
pollution discharge fees of the total waste quantity and the exceeded part.
5.5Lack of reusing policy of construction waste
Currently, our country is carrying out the work of reclamation successively. But up to now, there hasn’tbeen special regulation about “reclamation of construction waste” and induct from policy to reuse
construction waste. With the speed up of the city construction, require of construction materials and output of construction waste both showed upward trend. Either in terms of resource using or in terms of
environmental protection, the government is supposed to carry out this work to take a step on construction
waste management to go ahead the country.
Firstly, investment of scientific research is insufficient. For a long time the investment of scientific
research on reclamation of construction waste is always insufficient, which make the corresponding
technical standards and index factors can’t be set up, such as performance index about structure, intensity
and dynamics which are to induct the reusing of construction waste and factors about technology, method
and security of raw materials used to replace for construction waste.
Secondly, all kinds of preferential measure is too insufficient to encourage and support development of the enterprises which are engaged in management and reclamation of construction waste. The government should set up policy support system. On one hand, the tax on the all activities and reclamation investment about waste should be eliminated to enhance the viability of the waste reclamation enterprises; on the other hand, to the enterprises engaged in investment and operating activities on waste reclamation the government should offer subsidies on interest payment of loan.
