The entire city of Shanghai is now mobilized to sort garbage. Of the 26,000 tons of trash produced each day in the city, the majority is food and residual waste. So where does it all go? CGTN visited a facility called Liming Resource Recovery Center. It takes in about a 10th of Shanghai's total food and residual waste each day. The place used to be a landfill but in 2014 the company in charge closed it down and started to use more modern waste processing methods like incineration and fermentation. The plant makes money by receiving fees from the municipal government, and also by selling electricity, mostly generated by burning trash in five incinerators.
