40,000 to 80,000 yuan to sell a woman, a criminal organization that trafficked Vietnamese women for a long time was wiped out.

  CCTV News:Recently, under the unified command and coordination of the Railway Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Kunming Railway Public Security Bureau in Yunnan destroyed a criminal gang that had been abducting Vietnamese women for a long time, arrested 23 suspects and rescued 11 abducted Vietnamese women.

  Real-name registration system routinely inspected and seized trafficking clues.

  In February, 2018, the police of Kaiyuan Public Security Department of Kunming Railway Public Security Bureau checked the real-name registration system information of the train tickets of the inbound passengers at Hekou Railway Station, and found that the ticket information held by a woman did not match the information of the identity documents. During the cross-examination by the police, the female passenger never spoke, and her eyes revealed a sense of fear. The man standing next to her looked very anxious and tried to interrupt the police’s question many times. In order to find out the truth, the police took the two to the police station for further inquiry.

  Kunming Railway Public Security Bureau Kaiyuan Public Security Bureau police Chen Wengong: "Through our investigation, the man came from Wuhu, Anhui Province, and the woman in the same company was a Vietnamese woman who he bought from his two Anhui villagers in Hekou County at a price of 30,000 yuan and was going to take back to his hometown as a wife. The ticket was bought with someone else’s ID card, and the Vietnamese woman bought by the man could not speak Chinese."

  Tracing and discovering major cases of transnational trafficking

  According to the clues given by the man, the Kaiyuan Railway Police immediately investigated two suspects who abducted women and quickly found a new suspect, Ma. Ma has been living between Yunnan and Henan for a long time, and has contacts with many unmarried young men from other provinces in Yunnan Province. There are various indications that Ma is suspected of being involved in trafficking. After the case was reported, the Kunming Railway Public Security Bureau set up a task force, and the Ministry of Public Security listed the case as a case supervised by the national special action on abduction.

  Kunming Railway Public Security Bureau Kaiyuan Public Security Bureau Police Liu Shengfeng: "In order to rescue the abducted Vietnamese women and arrest the suspects as soon as possible, we issued an early warning notice to the police stations along the Kunyuhe Railway, demanding that the station vehicles be strengthened to find and intercept the abducted suspects and abducted women in time. At the same time, the task force increased online investigations to find and collect criminal clues and evidence, and carried out all-round verification and verification of the obtained clues and evidence. "

  The evidence of thunder attacking crime is solid

  In order to further verify the criminal facts of the gang. The task force sent a verification team to Henan to verify the men who bought Vietnamese women one by one.

  With the promotion of offline verification, the crimes of criminal gangs have gradually been mastered and the case has gradually become clear. Subsequently, the task force assembled the police force and quickly went to Kunming to successfully arrest the suspect Ma. Subsequently, under the unified organization and command of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security organs in Yunnan and Henan simultaneously carried out the network collection work. Up to now, the task force has arrested 23 suspects and rescued 11 Vietnamese women who have been trafficked.

  After investigation, the gang was abducted by Vietnamese criminal suspects and domestic criminal suspects, and then trafficked to Henan at a price of 40,000 to 80,000 yuan per woman through Ma. At present, the Kaiyuan Railway police have handed over 11 abducted Vietnamese women to the Vietnamese police, and the case is under further investigation.

Adjust the deposit base of provident fund in many places and implement the "height limit order" of deposit ratio

  Since July 1st, many places have adjusted the deposit base of housing provident fund. For example, the upper limit of the monthly deposit base of Beijing housing provident fund is raised to 5102 yuan, and the income of employees’ individual provident fund accounts will increase.

  Different from previous years, some areas have also adjusted the upper limit of the housing provident fund deposit ratio this year. According to the Notice on Appropriately Reducing the Deposit Ratio of Housing Provident Fund in Phases issued by the State Council in April, it is required that the deposit ratio of housing provident fund shall not exceed 12%. The reporter from Zhongxin. com found that Guangdong, Anhui, Tianjin, Chongqing and other places have successively issued notices to reduce the maximum deposit ratio of housing provident fund from 20% and 15% to 12%.

  The provident fund deposit base began to implement new standards and was raised more.

  From July 1st, many places began to implement the newly approved standard for the deposit base of provident fund. The newly set monthly deposit amount and lower limit of housing provident fund are based on the average monthly salary and minimum wage of local employees in 2015 respectively. Judging from the adjustment range, the upper limit of monthly deposit in Beijing, Nanjing and other places has been raised above 400 yuan.

  The Office of the Beijing Housing Provident Fund Management Committee issued a notice on June 21, saying that according to the calculation, the upper limit of the monthly contribution of the housing provident fund in 2016 was 5,102 yuan, and the upper limit of the monthly contribution of employees and units was 2,551 yuan. In 2015, the upper limit of the monthly deposit of Beijing housing provident fund was 4,654 yuan, compared with 448 yuan this year.

  Nanjing requires that the maximum deposit base of housing provident fund in 2016 should not exceed three times (20,200 yuan) of the monthly per capita salary of employees in Nanjing in 2015, breaking the "2" prefix for the first time; At the same time, the upper limit of monthly deposit is 4,848 yuan, which is higher than 4,368 yuan in 2015 in 480 yuan.

  The relevant notice of Shanghai to adjust the deposit base of housing provident fund shows that the monthly deposit limit of housing provident fund in 2016 is 2494 yuan, which is 204 yuan higher than the monthly deposit limit of 2290 yuan in 2015.

  The reporter noted that in areas where the average monthly salary and minimum wage standard of employees in 2015 have not yet been published, there is a "temporary shortage" of the deposit limit. For example, because the minimum wage in 2015 has not been announced in Nanjing, it is temporarily impossible to calculate the minimum monthly deposit.

  After adjustment, under the condition that the deposit ratio remains unchanged, the employee’s salary may be slightly reduced, but the unit’s simultaneous deposit amount will increase, and the employee’s personal housing provident fund account income will increase. From the perspective of buying a house and finally withdrawing income, it is actually good.

  We will implement the deposit ratio "height limit order" and "guarantee the bottom" in many places.

  In April this year, the State Council issued the Notice on Standardizing and Appropriately Decreasing the Deposit Ratio of Housing Provident Fund in Stages, requiring that all regions should strictly implement the relevant regulations within two years from May 1, 2016, and all housing provident fund deposit ratios above 12% shall be standardized and adjusted, and shall not exceed 12%.

  Based on this provision, Guangdong, Jilin, Anhui and other places will adjust the upper limit of the proportion of housing provident fund units from 20% to 12%; Fujian, Chongqing, Tianjin and other places reduced the maximum deposit ratio from 15% to 12%.

  Previously, the website of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province published a series of plans for supply-side reform in 2016-2018, which mentioned that Guangdong would reduce the proportion of housing provident fund deposit, and the upper limit of deposit would be reduced from 20% to 12%. At the beginning of July, Guangzhou, Dongguan and other cities also officially adjusted the upper limit of housing provident fund deposit ratio to 12%.

  At the same time, the deposit ratio is "limited", and the work of "guaranteeing the bottom" is promoted simultaneously. According to Article 18 of the Regulations on the Management of Housing Provident Fund, "the deposit ratio of housing provident fund for employees and units shall not be less than 5% of the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year; Cities with conditions can appropriately increase the deposit ratio. "

  To this end, Qinghai proposed that the contribution of housing provident fund units can be determined by themselves according to the operating conditions of enterprises, and shall not be less than 5%.

  The minimum deposit ratio implemented by Nanjing Provident Fund Management Center is 8%; Changchun stipulates that except for some enterprises with insufficient funds, they can apply for a phased reduction of the deposit ratio, and the deposit ratio of units and employees is not less than 7%.

  Set and adjust the "timetable" in many places. Enterprises with operational difficulties can pay back or postpone payment.

  The adjustment of the deposit base of housing provident fund has been implemented since July 1. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work, many places have also set a "timetable" for adjustment.

  Chengdu requires that all units can adjust the deposit base of employee housing provident fund through the online government affairs hall of Chengdu housing provident fund or the windows of various outlets. In principle, the adjustment should be completed before July 30; Dongguan said that if the depositor fails to go through the relevant procedures on time, it will be enforced from August; The approval time for Fujian is July 5-August 5.

  In addition, according to the Regulations on the Management of Housing Provident Funds, enterprises with operational difficulties can enjoy the corresponding "relaxation" policy. That is, after passing the corresponding audit, it is allowed to pay back or postpone the provident fund, and there are different management regulations and audit conditions in different places.

  Chongqing puts forward two conditions for the identification of enterprises with production and operation difficulties: continuous losses for more than three years, and the average monthly salary of employees is lower than 50% of the average monthly salary of employees in urban non-private units in the city last year; Or stop production or business, and stop paying wages for more than half a year. In principle, the suspension of deposit shall not exceed one year at a time.

  Guangzhou proposed that units with difficulties in deposit can apply for reducing the deposit ratio (less than 5%) or delaying payment according to the current regulations. However, there is no specific holdover period. (zhong Qing)

The loss of retail car revenue of 16.75 billion yuan in 2023 has narrowed.

  On March 25th, Zero Run disclosed its financial report for 2023, and it was still in a loss state for the whole year, with a net loss of 4.216 billion yuan and a gross profit margin of only 0.5%, which was still far behind LI and Weilai Automobile. At present, the price war of automobile enterprises has entered a white-hot stage, and the price band competition of zero-running automobile positioning is extremely fierce. With the listing of the second brands of Tucki and Weilai, and the price reduction of products of enterprises such as (), the zero-run cars will face more intense market competition.

  Sustained loss

  In 2023, the revenue of zero-running cars reached 16.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.2%; The net loss was 4.216 billion yuan, and the net loss in 2022 was 5.11 billion yuan, which narrowed the loss. Among the new car companies, LI has turned losses into profits, with a net profit of 11.81 billion yuan in 2023.

  From the perspective of revenue, the zero-running car is the lowest among the four new power companies in Hong Kong. In 2023, the revenues of Ideality, Weilai, Tucki and Zero Run were 123.85 billion yuan, 55.618 billion yuan, 30.68 billion yuan and 16.75 billion yuan respectively.

  Market participants believe that "to become a new energy car company that stays at the’ poker table’, it needs at least hundreds of billions of yuan in income, and the head car company will reach trillions of yuan." Obviously, the zero-running car is still a long way from this goal.

  In 2023, the gross profit margin of zero-run cars turned positive for the first time, with a gross profit margin of only 0.5%, which is still far behind that of LI and Weilai cars. Li Xiang, CEO of LI, once said that only when the gross profit margin of new energy vehicle enterprises exceeds 20% can they achieve stable operation.

  It is worth noting that by the end of 2023, the restricted deposits pledged by retail cars were 3.92 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55.5%. According to the financial report, the company took some financial assets, land use rights and property, plant and equipment at fair value through profit or loss as collateral to obtain loans.

  In terms of R&D expenditure, in 2023, the R&D expenditure of zero-run vehicles was 1.92 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.1%. The zero-run car said that it was mainly due to the increase in investment in R&D activities and the increase in the number of R&D personnel.

  Zhu Jiangming, founder, chairman and CEO of Zero Run Automobile, said: "Although there is still a long way to success, we have taken another big step forward in 2023."

  Sales have not improved.

  In 2023, a total of 144,200 zero-running cars were delivered, only 72% of the annual sales target of 200,000 vehicles was completed. It is reported that the sales target of zero-running cars will double in 2024, reaching 300,000 to 400,000.

  However, in 2024, the sales of zero-running cars did not improve, and 12,277 vehicles were delivered in January, down 34% from the previous month. 6,566 vehicles were delivered in February, down 46.5% from the previous month, and 18,843 vehicles were delivered in the first two months of this year. There is a big gap between the ideal and the world of the first camp.

  The retail car is positioned in the market of "100,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan", while the price band of mainstream models is in the market of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, and the competition is extremely fierce.

  It is worth noting that since 2023, zero-running cars have turned to pure electric+extended-range dual-power layout. At the beginning of February 2023, Zero Run launched the first extended-range model C11, with a price of 149,800 to 185,800 yuan. At the same time, the company accelerated the expansion of the international market. Zero-run cars and overseas markets are regarded by the industry as "self-help" behavior under the fierce price war. In 2023, C11 delivered 80,700 vehicles, the scale was still small, and the company’s gross profit margin was only 0.5%.

  After the Spring Festival, BYD took the lead in launching the "first shot" of the price war of new energy vehicles in the Year of the Loong, bringing new energy vehicles into the era of 70,000 yuan, and shouting the slogan "Electricity is lower than oil". On February 19th, BYD announced that its two plug-in hybrid models, Qin PLUS Glory Edition and Destroyer 05 Glory Edition, were listed, with a starting price of 79,800 yuan. Compared with the old models, the prices of the two new models both dropped by 20,000 yuan. With the intensification of the elimination of the new energy vehicle market, the competition in the price band of the zero-run vehicle is more intense. Whether it can break through and achieve the sales target in 2024 as scheduled can only be expected by the market performance.

  Price war continuation

  This year, the auto market will usher in more intense competition. Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Car Association, said that the price war in the national passenger car market will remain fierce in 2024.

  LI lowered its delivery target in the first quarter, reflecting the fierce competition in the current new energy vehicle market. On March 21st, LI lowered its delivery guideline for the first quarter. Due to the sales orders falling short of expectations, Ideal now predicts that the delivery volume of vehicles in the first quarter of 2024 will be 76,000 to 78,000, which is about 24% lower than the previously released 100,000 to 103,000 vehicles.

  In addition, china securities journal reporter noted that Tucki and Weilai are aiming at the mainstream price band in the market and will launch new brands.

  A few days ago, Xpeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng revealed in the earnings conference call that during the Beijing Auto Show, Xpeng Motors will officially launch a brand-new brand for 100,000 to 150,000 yuan. The first model of the brand-new brand will be launched and delivered in the third quarter. In addition, Tucki’s main brand will deliver a brand-new model in the second half of the year.

  Li Bin, chairman of Weilai, said recently that Weilai’s second brand was named "Ledao" and positioned as a family car. "Ledao" brand will be officially released in mid-May. It is reported that the price is 150,000 to 250,000 yuan.

  Li Bin said that the first model of "Ledao" brand will be released in the third quarter, and mass delivery will begin in the fourth quarter. The second car under the new brand is an SUV for large families, which has entered the mold opening stage and will be introduced to the market in 2025.

  Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of China Automobile Association, said in an interview with china securities journal: "If the new energy automobile market is as fierce as it was in 2023, there will be a lot of new energy automobile enterprises in 2024, which will be difficult to operate because they lose too much money."

  Ping An Securities believes that the growth rate of head new energy vehicle enterprises will be under pressure in 2024, and the price war led by head new energy vehicle enterprises will continue, especially in the mainstream price band of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, while the battery cost provides room for further price reduction of car enterprises.

The hype that "the first stage agreement of Sino-US trade is not implemented effectively" is too low-level.

  Recently, many American media reported that according to the first-stage trade agreement between China and the United States, China should purchase 173.1 billion US dollars of agriculture, manufacturing, energy and other related products in 2020, but in fact China only imported 100 billion US dollars of the above products. Therefore, the US and Western media have been speculating that "China has failed to fulfill its agreement commitments", which seems to put pressure on Biden’s government and expect Sino-US economic and trade relations to be turbulent again.

  But the fact is that, taking the latest statistics of the US Department of Commerce as an example, in the first three quarters of 2020, US goods exports amounted to 1.049 trillion US dollars. Compared with the export scale of $1.24 trillion in the first three quarters of 2019, it declined by 15.44%. During this period, US exports to Europe, Japan and Canada declined by 14.35%, 13.10% and 15.94% respectively.

  However, in the first three quarters of 2020, US exports of goods to China reached US$ 81.509 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.23%.

  In the context of the global economic recession and the spread of the epidemic, the total export volume of American goods to China has risen against the trend, and it is a certain event to maintain positive growth throughout the year. This means that China is a positive force to pull the United States out of the quagmire of economic recession, not an enemy and opponent to push the United States into the abyss. However, American public opinion has once again been blind and biased, ignoring objective factors, deliberately amplifying the implementation of the agreement and deliberately ignoring the positive development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.

  More importantly, China has always made firm efforts to implement the first phase agreement. The implementation dilemma in 2020 is caused by dual factors.

  On the one hand, the global epidemic has brought severe challenges to the implementation of the first phase of Sino-US economic and trade agreement. From the supply side, in 2020, the US economy will decline by 5% and 31.4% respectively in the first and second quarters, and the annual recession is inevitable. At present, the number of people infected by the epidemic in the United States exceeds 25.27 million, and the death rate exceeds 420,000. The haze of "economic blockade" brought by the epidemic has never been dispersed, which has restricted the production and supply capacity of the United States. From the demand side, China’s economy also suffered a severe impact due to the epidemic in early 2020, and the total demand was severely weakened. The epidemic hit both ends of supply and demand, which had a destructive impact on the implementation of the agreement throughout the year. Wright Heze, a former US trade representative, also said that when considering the implementation of the agreement in China, it would be quite unfair if the epidemic did not occur.

  On the other hand, the high tariffs imposed by China and the United States have increased the difficulty of implementing the agreement in reality. Although the first stage of Sino-US economic and trade agreement has entered the stage of implementation, and the Sino-US trade war is "truce", the United States still maintains a 25% tariff on products worth $250 billion in China, and a 7.5% tariff on goods exceeding $100 billion. As a passive response, China also maintains a certain high tariff on American goods. To some extent, this has affected the competitiveness of American goods in the China market. After all, the final determinant of Sino-US economic and trade relations is the market.

  In the past year, the major economies in the world were very difficult, but China took the lead in stabilizing its position, taking the lead in controlling the epidemic and taking the lead in economic rebound, playing the role of a major contributor to global economic growth. At the same time, it also made every effort to firmly implement the first-phase agreement and maintain close communication with the corresponding economic and trade departments of the United States. China has not only failed to activate the "Clause 7.6" in the first phase agreement between China and the United States (due to natural disasters or unpredictable and uncontrollable circumstances, one party cannot fulfill its promise in time, and both parties can renegotiate), but has increased the intensity and speed of implementing the agreement since the summer of 2020. At the same time, China has further increased its market access in the financial sector. At a time when western countries are "closing the gates and pulling the suspension bridge", China has once again fulfilled its solemn commitment to deepen reform and opening up.

  China’s efforts and responsible actions have also created a good atmosphere for further economic and trade interaction between China and the United States after Biden took office. At present, China and the United States urgently need to move in the same direction from three aspects:

  First, the United States should completely abandon the Trump administration’s protectionist and trade bullying thinking. What the United States needs to recognize is that the unresolved high tariffs are not Trump’s legacy and negotiating "weights" left to the new US government, but a "stumbling block" that hinders the further benign interaction between China and the United States. Only by completely abandoning tariff weapons can we accelerate the trade flow between China and the United States and enhance the competitiveness of American products in the China market, which is a win-win result.

  Second, restore channels and mechanisms for multi-level economic and trade dialogue and exchange between China and the United States. By building a variety of dialogue platforms and increasing understanding and interaction, we can accumulate mutual trust and promote the sound development of Sino-US economic and trade relations.

  Third, restart the follow-up economic and trade negotiations as soon as possible. A series of key issues, such as the follow-up objectives of the first-stage agreement, mutual tariff reduction, audit and supervision cooperation, will be re-evaluated and incorporated into the follow-up economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States to promote the revitalization of economic and trade relations between the two countries and establish a new course.

The first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Ada Modu" started a new voyage of completion verification.

  Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, September 7th (Reporter Jia Yuankun) On September 7th, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida Modu" slowly left Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Terminal 4 under the tug, and started a new voyage of completion verification. This is the first trial successfully completed on July 24th. After a lapse of 45 days, we set sail again and fully implemented the final trial plan, which is also the last trial before delivery.

  On September 7th, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Ada Modu" started a new voyage of completion verification, and fully implemented the final completion trial plan, which was also the last trial before delivery. (Photo courtesy of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding)

  The completed sea trial will test and inspect more than 90 sea trial items of 31 debugging procedures, including regional vibration and noise test, waste gas washing, desulfurization, general broadcast alarm sound pressure, etc., and will focus on diesel-heavy oil conversion, testing speed and durability tests under heavy oil conditions, unmanned engine room and other projects.

  In order to ensure the success of the trial, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. specially set up a trial completion working group, with Chen Gang, the general manager and chief designer of the large-scale cruise project as the chief commander, and a maritime command center and a shore-based support center. The two centers have a navigation test group, a logistics support group and 13 professional groups, each of which performs its own duties to form a joint force and solidly promote the various tasks of the trial completion. More than 1,300 ship owners, ship inspectors, contractors, service providers and Waigaoqiao shipbuilding engineers and technicians participated in the completion trial.

  Chen Gang introduced that the first trial was mainly to preliminarily verify the functions of the system, and to test the related overall performance, vibration and noise indicators, etc. The completed trial will comprehensively verify the navigation system, propulsion system, power station management system, fire alarm system and broadcasting system of the whole ship, as well as the functions of the automated smart grid, vibration and noise, and safe return to Hong Kong.

  Large-scale cruise ships, together with large-scale LNG carriers and aircraft carriers, are called the "three pearls in the crown" of shipbuilding industry. It is extremely difficult to design and build, and it is a landmark project that reflects a country’s industrial strength and scientific and technological level. The trial verification of the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida Modu" is advanced as scheduled, and it is planned to be named and delivered at the end of this year. China’s shipbuilding industry will soon officially gather these "three pearls", and the high-quality development level of shipbuilding industry will be further improved.

Summary: Garbage classification makes "misplaced resources" return to their place.

  Garbage is called "misplaced resources". How to put these resources back in place? The experience of various countries shows that sorting garbage from the source can help to recycle resources to the maximum extent, solve the "besieged city" of garbage and promote sustainable development.

  America: Classification brings transformation.

  When it comes to new york, it is difficult to associate this attractive international metropolis with a garbage city with sewage and stinking air. In fact, before the end of 19th century, new york was one of the dirtiest cities in the world. At that time, the streets of new york were littered with garbage, mosquitoes and flies danced wildly, and the foul smell made many residents never dare to open the window. Poor sanitary conditions became a hotbed of various diseases.

  It was not until the appearance of health engineer George Welling that new york saw hope. In 1895, as the street sanitation commander, Wei Lin established the first garbage recycling and sorting system in new york history, put forward a series of regulations and specific measures for producing soap and agricultural fertilizer from food waste, and called on the whole people to pick up brooms to clean the streets.

  Thanks to the joint efforts of the whole people, new york has gradually got rid of the dirty environment and established a more systematic and perfect method of garbage sorting and recycling. According to the latest law in 1989, new york residents must sort their garbage before they throw it away. Recyclable garbage is divided into two categories, paper and cardboard are one category, and metal, glass and plastic products are another category, which must be put into garbage bins of different colors respectively.

  In recent years, new york has been exploring more detailed waste sorting methods, trying to recycle food waste separately and use it for biogas power generation and composting. The local government believes that increasing garbage recycling will not only help to purify the environment, but also save a lot of government expenses.

  Japan: Close to the Extreme Classification

  As a densely populated city, Tokyo, Japan, was once plagued by garbage siege and environmental pollution. At the end of 1970, the Japanese parliament completely revised the Cleaning Law and enacted the Waste Disposal Law to curb waste discharge and properly classify, keep, collect, transport, regenerate and dispose of waste.

  With the long-term efforts of all walks of life, the urban environment in Tokyo has been greatly improved, and the garbage classification has become more detailed and complicated. Combustible garbage, noncombustible garbage, kitchen waste, metal garbage and plastic garbage … … The fine classification makes it not so simple to throw garbage.

  For example, a cigarette box needs to be discarded in three categories: the plastic film wrapped outside is plastic garbage, the box is combustible garbage, and the aluminum foil at the seal is metal garbage.

  Many garbage collection points can be seen in the streets and residential areas of Tokyo. These collection points are all posted with delivery instructions, which introduce the classification method and collection time of garbage in the form of pictures and texts, such as when to discard what garbage seven days a week. If you miss the specified time, you can only wait until the next collection day to lose it. If you want to throw away large pieces of garbage such as bicycles and wardrobes, you need to apply by phone in advance and buy treatment vouchers. The price of each piece ranges from several hundred yen to thousands of yen. If you throw away garbage at random, you will be fined or even imprisoned.

  Germany: the details are constantly optimized

  In Germany, domestic waste is roughly divided into non-recyclable waste, packaging waste, paper waste, biological waste, electronic waste, glass waste and so on, and their destination is trash cans with different colors.

  Germany also promotes the recycling of beverage bottles by setting a deposit. For example, a 1.5-liter bottle of ordinary mineral water costs 0.19 euros, but an additional deposit of 0.25 euros is required for plastic bottles filled with water. You can only get the deposit back after the bottle is returned by the bottle collector in the supermarket.

  With the participation of families, schools and other sectors of society, German children learn the method of garbage classification from an early age and take it as a natural thing. The waste treatment plant will also let people know more about waste sorting and its importance by organizing visits.

  Garbage sorting and recycling has also spawned new business models, such as garbage management companies. Different kinds of garbage have different disposal fees. If recyclable garbage such as plastic packaging and paper products is put into a bucket of non-recyclable garbage, higher disposal fees will be paid. Garbage management companies can help people reduce the cost of garbage disposal as much as possible.

  For example, entrusted by the community manager, the staff of the garbage management company will go to the community every three to five times to reclassify some misclassified garbage, and provide regular consultation activities to popularize the knowledge of garbage recycling to residents and help people classify garbage more accurately. Although residents have to pay part of the expenses of the management company, with the sharp reduction of garbage disposal fees, residents have not only saved money, but also contributed to environmental protection.
