Abstract
In China’s rapidly growing cities, urban waste management is becoming one of China’s most pressing concerns. Xin Tong, who has worked on developing new approaches to e-waste management in China, examines the social and economic facets of China’s waste problem, including the consumerist culture and marginalized manufacturing workers that support it. Tong presents a case study of Beijing’s ‘waste villages’, Bajia and Dongxiaokou, which have become urban centres of scavenging and recycling waste, while assessing the community-oriented strategies employed by municipal administrations since the implementation of the ‘urban circular economic system’ in 2000.
