Licenses of 2 waste-handling firms suspended
Print Edition
THE licenses of two local companies involved in collecting and transporting kitchen wastes have been suspended after they were found illegally selling the wastes to pig farms.
A report on Sunday by a local TV station claimed Shanghai Sanyi Sanitation Co and Shanghai Zhongqi Environment Technology, which collected wastes from fast food chains in the city, sold them to pig farms as feed.
Fast food chains KFC, McDonalds and Ajisen Ramen will now not be allowed to sort their own garbage. Instead, it will be taken over by a so-called unified collection system. Under the system, the city government will assign selected companies to do the sorting.
About 1,100 tons of kitchen garbage is generated in the city every day, but less than 1,000 tons are actually collected, according to the Shanghai Garbage Management Office.
The incidence of contracting disease among pigs fed with kitchen waste is higher because of bacteria in the garbage. There is also the potential risk of autoploidy contamination, because these garbage contains pork, said Li Shuguang, a professor with the School of the Public Health at Fudan University.
