Page 83. THE ORY AND METHODSThe study of municipalsolid waste is crucial in the efforts to achieve a sustainablesociety. Municipal solid waste is relevant to many other environmental aspects,including utilities of natural resources, land lise, human health, surface and groundwater pollution, air pollution and so on. Successful management is important to avoidthe occurrence of other environmental problems. Municipal solid waste managementas a key role in the development towards a sustainable society must be recognized.Waste is produced after using natural resources by human being. People have to closethe loop which they made for living in order to mitigate the depletion of naturalresources and to protect our environment. The sustainable solutions will be highlyappreciated in the solutions of Jingshan municipal solid waste management.3.1 Basic PrincipleTo achieve the sustainable municipal solid waste management, the sustainability isconsidered the basic princip le in this study. The specific application of sustainabilityin handling municipal solid waste could be waste reuse, recycling, energy recover,nutrition recover and rationalland lise through decreasing landfills. By using biogas toproduce e1ectricity or heat which is come ITom organic contents of municipal solidwaste is a very good example of sustainable solution, because on the one hand, itsolves waste problem and it's corresponding negative effects, on the other, it savesnon-renewable energy recourses.Besides, the minimizing environmental effect and ITom source to solve problem couldbe the basic requirements of handling municipal solid waste. So when to choose thedifferent approaches, which one is the best one with the minimizing environmentaleffect should be considered. Source reduction and sorting waste at source can avoidmixing all kinds of waste and bringing a lot of trouble in the further treatmentprocesses.In the analysis and results chapter, the above princip le of sustainability and its specificrequirements in handling municipal solid waste will be applied to choose the priorsolution.3.2 MethodsThe below methods are adopted comprehensively in this study:. Literature search and study. Relevant important literature and data are ITom LundUniversity Library, Tyrens InITakonsult AB Library, The Library of the
Page 9International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics at Lund Universityand LUMES (Lund University International Master' s Prograrnrne inEnvironmental Science) Library. And also very relevant literature and data aregiven by my supervisor, Per Lundgren. Latest data and material about wastemanagement in Jingshan are obtained from Solid Waste Division of ChineseSPEA and Jingshan Municipility.. Study visit and interview. In order to acquire general information about municipalsolid waste management, study visit and interview local VIP in Jingshan havebeen carried out. Study visit to Kristianstad Biogas Plant which is one of mostsuccessful operating integrated digestion and composting plants in Sweden, themunicipal solid waste department of Kristianstad Municipality, and MalmöIncinerator Waste Treatrnent Plant. Some consultants in waste treatrnent field havebeen interviewed while facing the technical problems. The interview to theengineer of Solid Waste & Toxic Chemicals Management Division of ChineseSEPA has been done and obtained the general situation about China wastemanagement.. Joining the Swedish Environmental Delegation for China which is led bySwedish Environmental Minister, Mr. Kjell Larsson from Ser. 13 to Ser. 20,1999. I have followed the whole activities of this delegation including twonational seminars on municipal solid waste management and technologies, and thevisiting to Hongkong household waste collecting systern. Discussions with theexperts of waste treatrnent field about the solutions of waste problems in Chinahave done during the conference.. System analysis. Systern analysis has been applied to figure out inter-relationshipsamong the different main actors in Jingshan municipal solid waste managementcycle, the causalloop diagrams have been drawn to help the explanations.. Comprehensive analyses. That will be applied to conclude the results ofrespective analyzing methods in this study.4. PROBLEMS DEFINITION4.1 The Increasing of Waste GeneratedAccording to "Jingshan City Planning", its population is 110 thousand in 1999 andwill be170 thousands in 2005, the corresponding generation of municipal solid wasteis expected from approximate 94ton/day in 1999 to 145ton/day in 2005 if the
