China has unveiled an ambitious environmental roadmap to transform every city across the nation into a waste-free zone by 2035. According to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the initiative represents a fundamental shift in urban management, moving away from traditional disposal toward a sophisticated system where waste is treated as a resource rather than a burden.

The plan sets clear milestones for the coming decade. By 2027, the government expects 60 percent of China’s cities to have met „waste-free” standards, with the goal of reaching full coverage by 2035.

This massive transition is already gaining momentum. Over the past five years, over 110 cities have launched 3,000 specific projects, supported by an investment of approximately 560 billion yuan (about $77 billion).
