China Plastic Waste Reduction Project (Shaanxi)

active

Prospective

The project is the second one in a program of World Bank lending to reduce plastic waste leakage in China, with an expansion of engagement to the under-served rural areas compared with the urban focus of phase one. The project will inform plastic waste management at the national level, strengthen subnational MSW institution towards better integrated rural-urban MSW management and service provision, through policy, technical, and knowledge assistance. The project will also invest in the improvements to below county-level MSW management systems (collection, transfer, sorting, recycling, treatment) in under-served rural areas, to enhance waste service delivery, plastic pollution control, and waste diversion from landfilling. Given the long-term demand and significant disparities in the China's vast rural areas, the success of the project will rely on the cross-departmental coordination by the provincial government, and the policy/technical dialogue between the national and subnational authorities to create an enabling and corrective environment for reform, experiment, and innovation.
