With the growth of population and the improvement of living standards, the amount of domestic garbage in China has surged. As far as the domestic waste treatment market is concerned, China's domestic waste removal and disposal capacity has grown rapidly in recent years. However, in terms of urban and rural performance, the current domestic waste treatment capacity in rural areas is still a shortcoming. The collection, removal and transportation of domestic waste in rural areas, as well as harmless treatment and resource utilization, need to be strengthened urgently. At present, the level of rural domestic waste disposal in China is uneven, and the disposal system equipment also has problems such as poor operation and idleness. The 2025 goal for rural domestic waste disposal is clear
In the "Five-Year Action Plan for the Improvement of Rural Human Settlements (2021-2025)", it is proposed that by 2025, the rural living environment will be significantly improved, the level of harmless treatment of rural domestic waste will be significantly improved, and villages with conditions will achieve domestic waste classification and source reduction. In the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Construction and Management of Rural Domestic Waste Collection, Transportation and Disposal System", it is required to promote the source classification and resource utilization of rural domestic waste, improve the rural domestic waste collection, transportation and disposal facilities, and improve the operation and management level of the rural domestic waste collection, transportation and disposal system. In the "Notice on Making Up for the Shortcomings of Public Health and Environmental Facilities and Carrying out Urban and Rural Environmental Sanitation Cleanup and Remediation", it is also required to speed up the completion of the shortcomings of domestic waste incineration and sewage treatment capacity in county-level areas, extend local garbage and sewage treatment facilities and services to towns and villages where conditions permit, and establish and improve the rural garbage collection, transportation and disposal system. The "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Domestic Waste Incineration Treatment Facilities in County-level Areas" makes it clear that by 2025, county-level areas across the country will basically form a domestic waste classification and treatment system that is compatible with economic and social development, especially in county-level areas with conditions in key areas, and basically achieve full coverage of domestic waste incineration treatment capacity. The "Notice on Accelerating the Implementation Plan for Filling the Weaknesses of Domestic Waste Incineration Treatment Facilities in County-level Areas" will further improve the domestic waste collection and transportation system in county-level areas across the country by 2025, and further improve the collection and transportation capacity. The "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Construction and Management of Domestic Sewage and Garbage Treatment Facilities in Organized Towns" proposes that by 2025, the built-up areas of organized towns will basically achieve full coverage of domestic waste collection, transfer and treatment capacity. Coordinate and improve the domestic waste collection, transportation and treatment systems of cities, counties and towns, and gradually promote the full coverage of the treatment capacity of towns. However, the current situation of rural domestic waste disposal is not optimistic
As far as most rural areas are concerned, the current garbage disposal is relatively simple, usually mainly centralized landfills, and even open stacking and other situations occur from time to time, and the problem of secondary pollution of garbage caused by this is particularly serious. According to relevant information, the overall operation of garbage removal and treatment facilities in rural areas of China is not stable, due to the influence of factors such as treatment environment and process technology, the actual life of garbage treatment equipment is 5 to 8 years. At present, many garbage disposal equipment has reached the end of its service life, and it cannot operate normally due to factors such as aging equipment. At the same time, the distribution of domestic waste in rural areas is scattered, the cost of collection and transfer is relatively high, and the volume is small, resulting in many waste treatment facilities that can be built but "cannot be used", and the operation and maintenance are not timely, or even idle. According to the data, in 2021, the harmless treatment rate of domestic waste in China's townships and organized towns will be respectively. 84%, while the harmless treatment rate of municipal solid waste in the same period was close to 100%. There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, garbage classification and collection in rural areas are still in their infancy due to various factors, and the awareness and participation of villagers are not high. On the other hand, there is a lack of money, as we mentioned earlier, the cost of garbage removal and transportation in rural areas is high, and the resulting financial pressure is self-evident, and the long-term management brought about by insufficient capital investment cannot keep up, resulting in the failure of the garbage removal and transportation system to operate normally. However, the public service attributes of rural domestic waste disposal can not really achieve "thirst quenching" by relying only on financial support, and diversified market participation is an important guarantee to promote the comprehensive development of domestic waste treatment in rural areas. At present, the state actively encourages social capital to participate in the development and construction of key agricultural and rural industries. As early as the Guidelines for Social Capital Investment in Agriculture and Rural Areas (2021), we supported the participation of social capital in the five-year action to improve the rural living environment. Encourage social capital to participate in the construction and operation of projects such as the rural toilet revolution, rural domestic waste treatment, and rural domestic sewage treatment, improve the rural domestic waste collection, transportation and disposal system, and build a number of comprehensive disposal and utilization facilities for organic waste. More and more enterprises have begun to shift their attention to the market of rural pollution prevention and control, especially domestic waste treatment, with the development of urban waste incineration power generation saturated, small waste incineration power generation in rural areas has become one of the directions. In addition, the important role of green finance in guiding the flow of social capital to pollution prevention and control in rural areas is also becoming more and more prominent. Through market-oriented operation, green finance has effectively provided financial support for the rural domestic waste treatment market and played an important supporting role.
