In the wave of environmental protection and sustainable development, Qingpu District of Shanghai has set a new benchmark for the resource utilization of construction waste with its forward-thinking approach and practical actions. The Qingpu Construction Waste Resource Utilization Center, as a microcosm of this green cycle, not only solves the problem of construction waste disposal but also injects new vitality into the city's sustainable development.

I. Background and Challenges

With the acceleration of urbanization, the amount of construction waste is increasing daily. How to effectively handle this waste has become a major challenge for city managers. Qingpu District, as an important area of Shanghai, also faces the same problem. To solve this issue, the Qingpu District Committee and Government decided to explore new ways to utilize construction waste.

II. Innovative Practices

With the support of the Qingpu District Committee and Government, Shanghai Chengtou Environment (Group) Co., Ltd. and the Qingpu District Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau jointly established the Qingpu Construction Waste Resource Utilization Center. The center uses construction waste as its main raw material and achieves volume reduction and resource utilization of construction waste through scientific pretreatment and reprocessing processes.

The center has a powerful processing capacity, designed to process up to 500,000 tons of construction waste annually. The production line is divided into a construction waste production line and a demolition waste production line, with daily processing capacities of 1000 tons and 500 tons respectively. The center is equipped with advanced equipment such as chain feeders, stepped screens, tension screens, and crushers, ensuring efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent production.

III. Significant Achievements

Through careful processing, construction waste is transformed into recycled sand and aggregates with specifications of 0-5-10-31.5mm. These recycled materials are widely used in the production of recycled bricks, recycled concrete, and recycled water-stabilized materials, truly achieving a closed-loop cycle from construction to construction.

Testing data shows that all finished materials meet industry and national standards. This achievement not only demonstrates the technical strength of the Qingpu Construction Waste Resource Utilization Center but also makes a positive contribution to the city's environmental protection and sustainable development.

IV. Summary and Outlook

The successful practice of the Qingpu Construction Waste Resource Utilization Center provides new ideas and methods for urban construction waste treatment. It not only solves the problem of construction waste disposal but also promotes resource recycling and environmental protection. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the promotion of its application, it is believed that the Qingpu Construction Waste Resource Utilization Center will play an even more important role in the sustainable development of the city.
