Eastern Environment Solutions Corp. speaks up for "creating a recycling economy" in China

 

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eastern Environment Solutions Corp., a leading provider of municipal solid waste (MSW) processing and disposal services in northeast China, announced recently that the Company's Chairman and CEO, Ms. Feng Yan, was personally invited to attend and present on the issues of waste treatment and recycling before the PRC National People's Congress in Beijing. 

During the week of August 23 to 28, Ms. Feng attended meetings of the PRC National People's Congress in Beijing as a delegate and participated in a panel discussion on "The Implementation and Promotion of the Waste Treatment Law." Ms. Feng explained the importance of government support for the waste treatment industry, especially in the area of recycling. 

"Support should come from both the central government and local governments, with both subsidies and financing available to support the waste treatment industry," Ms. Feng explained. "I suggested that the government create economic zones focused on renewable resources. I also believe that the government should promote the separation of different types of garbage in order to promote deeper levels of garbage processing and to help develop the recycling economy. I emphasized the importance of converting waste into usable energy and renewable resources. It is absolutely critical that a nation of our size and population take these steps now."

Ms. Feng continued, "I am convinced that the government will back my idea of promoting the recycling economy and will further promote the conversion of waste into renewable resources. Currently, the issue of waste disposal and treatment is a hot topic among all levels of government, with much support and attention for curbing waste and promoting the recycling of resources. I believe that my promotion of these concepts will directly lead to greater government support for companies that focus on waste treatment and recycling."

Eastern Environment Solutions Corp. is the first regional environmental engineering company to operate under a Build-Operate-Transfer ("BOT") contract in China. The landfill is 17 km away from urban areas. The Harbin Municipal Urban Administrative Bureau, authorized by the Harbin Municipal Government, signed a franchise contract for 17 years with the company. The landfill can be used to dispose of 1,500 tons of MSW per day, or approximately 42 percent of the total municipal solid waste produced by the population of Harbin.
