On June 25, Ningbo Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau released the province's first district and county-level "waste free index".

It is estimated that the top three "waste free" districts or counties in the first quarter of 2023 are Beilun District (78.74 points), Fenghua District (77.30 points) and Jiangbei District (76.75 points).

As a major reform task in the domain of ecological civilization construction, the construction of a holistic "waste free city" involves multiple aspects, including the reduction, resource utilization, and harmless treatment of urban solid waste.

Based on the research on the "waste free index" in Zhejiang Province and taking into account the actual local situation, Ningbo has formulated the "waste free index" work plan (trial) to regularly publish the index results.

By focusing on the key categories of solid waste generation, recycling, storage and disposal in the industrial, agricultural, and living sectors in the construction of a "waste free city", the "waste free index" of Ningbo covers 16 core indicators that meet the actual situation of the city, and then each indicator sub index is divided into five levels based on a full score of 100, the same as the provincial calculation method of waste free index
