Project Overview

案例概述

The "Chengyang District Classification Low-Carbon Circular Demonstration and Education Base" has been established. In 2023, aligned with waste classification education and the demand for horticultural waste disposal at the Olympic Sculpture Cultural Park (with a total area of 430,000 square meters), the horticultural waste storage area was transformed into three functional zones: a compost courtyard, a leaf composting area, and a zero-waste habitat garden. These zones include 26 compost bins, with a total compost pile capacity exceeding 70 cubic meters and a total area of 1,000 square meters. By empowering the landscaping management team, the sustainable operation of green spaces is ensured, achieving the on-site reduction and resource utilization of 120-150 cubic meters of organic waste annually.

建成“城阳区垃圾分类低碳循环示范教育基地”。2023年结合垃圾分类宣教和奥林匹克雕塑文化园（总面积43万平方米）园林垃圾处置需求，进行园林垃圾堆放区改造，包含堆肥小院、落叶堆肥区、零废弃生境园三个区域，共有26个堆肥筐，堆体容量超70m³，总面积1000㎡。通过赋能园林管理队伍，保障可持续绿色空间运行，实现每年120m³-150m³ 有机垃圾就地减量资源化。

The base plays a demonstrative and educational role. It carries out experiential research and learning activities on environmental education for waste classification and low-carbon circular practices, connecting with over 40 nearby schools and attracting over 4,000 participant-visits for participatory research and learning. Collaborating with competent authorities, it has demonstrated and guided over 40 parks, communities, and schools to embed an organic composting low-carbon circular model into their waste classification systems, reaching over 120,000 people.

发挥基地的示范宣教作用。开展垃圾分类低碳循环环境教育的体验式研学，联结周边40多个学校，实现4000多人次参与式研学。协同主管部门示范带动指导40多个公园、社区和学校在垃圾分类体系中嵌入有机堆肥低碳循环模式，覆盖12万余人。

The project has generated diverse social impacts. In August 2024, CCTV-1 featured the base in its summer "Practical Lesson" program, showcasing green living through waste sorting. In December 2024, four CCTV programs reported on the initiative under the theme "Journey of Leaf Regeneration: On-Site Composting of Fallen Leaves and Dry Branches in Qingdao and the Circular Utilization of 'Green Waste.'" From 2023 to 2025, the project was included in the "Collaborative Innovation Practice Project for Low-Carbon Schools and Low-Carbon Parks" under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/Global Environment Facility (GEF)/Small Grants Programme (SGP). The organization’s director was honored as a "Qingdao Top Talent," and the "Green Pioneer" project won the Silver Award at the National Volunteer Service Competition.

产生多元社会影响力。2024年8月CCTV-1暑期“实践课”体验垃圾分类绿色生活。12月CCTV4个栏目报道：落叶再生之旅 青岛落叶枯枝就地堆肥 “绿色垃圾”循环利用。（2023-2025）获得（UNDP/GEF/ SGP）低碳学校和低碳园区协同创新实践项目。机构主任获评“青岛拔尖人才”。“绿先锋”项目荣获志愿服务国赛银奖。

Project Implementation

项目实施

I. Implementation Plan and Process

一、实施方案与过程

1. Spatial Activation

A systematic transformation was carried out on the original horticultural waste storage areas and off-site disposal model of Aoyuan, redeveloping it into a "Classification Low-Carbon Circular Demonstration and Education Base." Leveraging existing spaces and horticultural waste, 26 standardized compost bins were installed, with a total compost pile capacity exceeding 70 cubic meters and a total area of 1,000 square meters. Three functional zones were formed: a compost courtyard, a leaf composting area, and a zero-waste habitat garden, enabling low-cost circular utilization of horticultural waste.

1. 空间活化：针对奥园原有园林垃圾堆放区和外运处置模式进行系统性改造，转型为“垃圾分类低碳循环示范教育基地”。充分利用既有空间和园林废弃物，设置26个标准化堆肥筐，堆体容量超70m³，总面积1000㎡，形成堆肥小院、落叶堆肥区、零废弃生境园三大功能区，实现园林废弃物低成本循环利用。

2. Composting Promotion

An incremental strategy of "starting with the easy and progressing to the difficult" was adopted. Initially, easily decomposable materials such as fallen leaves and grass clippings were prioritized for processing, establishing standardized composting procedures. Later, professional equipment was introduced to address the challenge of horticultural waste crushing. Meanwhile, community volunteers were mobilized to supplement raw materials with kitchen waste, forming a sustainable supply chain. Through two years of continuous operation, a cumulative total of 270 cubic meters of organic waste was processed on-site, yielding 21.6 tons of organic compost products.

2. 堆肥推进：采用先易后难的渐进策略，初期优先处理落叶、剪草等易腐物料，建立标准化堆肥流程；随后引入专业设备解决园林垃圾破碎难题；同时联动社区志愿者自带厨余垃圾补充原料，形成可持续供给链；通过两年持续运作，累计就地处理有机废弃物270m³，产生有机堆肥产物21.6吨。

3. Operational Support

The district-level competent authority invited "Chengyang Yi Qi Fen," an organization with rich composting experience, to provide integrated design and clarify responsibilities, ensuring sustainable operation. By empowering landscaping companies to integrate compost management into the daily maintenance system of parks; collaborating with Qingdao Agricultural University to conduct regular compost quality testing, ensuring product quality and safety; and inviting teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to carry out carbon emission monitoring and provide data support.

3. 运营保障：区级主管机构邀请有丰富堆肥经验的“城阳壹起分”提供整合设计，明确职责分工，保障可持续运营。通过赋能园林公司将堆肥管理纳入公园日常维护体系；联合青岛农业大学开展堆肥质量定期检测，确保质量和安全；同时邀请中国科学院团队进行碳排放监测，提供数据支持。

4. Demonstration and Promotion

Active collaboration was conducted with over 40 primary and secondary schools to carry out participatory research and learning activities. This effort successfully led 40 parks, communities, and schools to replicate this model, reaching over 120,000 people.

4. 示范推广：积极联动40余所中小学校开展参与式研学活动；成功带动40个公园、社区和学校复制该模式，覆盖12万人。

II. Comparison Between Pre- and Post-Implementation

二、实施前后对比

1. Role Positioning Transformation

The district waste classification office integrated waste classification with the national dual carbon goals (carbon peak and carbon neutrality), transforming its role into a leader in low-carbon circular integration. By inviting "Chengyang Yi Qi Fen" to operate the base and play a demonstration role, over 40 space managers from parks, communities, and schools were guided to undergo similar role transformations.

1. 角色定位转型：区垃圾分类办公室把垃圾分类与国家的“双碳”目标有机融合，角色转型为分类低碳循环融合的引领者。通过邀请“城阳壹起分”运营基地发挥示范引领作用，带动40多个公园社区学校空间管理者实现角色转型。

2. Upgraded Waste Disposal Model

The previous high-cost off-site disposal model was transformed into an on-site circular utilization system, reducing costs related to transportation and end disposal. Cumulatively, 39,000 yuan in costs was saved, while carbon emissions were also reduced.

2. 垃圾处理模式升级：从原先高成本外运处理模式，转变为就地循环利用系统，减少运输后端处置等费用，累计节省成本3.9万元，同时降低碳排放。

3. Enhanced Public Participation

Prior to implementation, public engagement was low, with skepticism prevalent. Post-implementation, over 4,000 participant-visits were attracted to participate in composting and low-carbon circular research activities. Skeptics were guided to actively become promoters of low-carbon circular practices, forming a positive feedback loop.

3. 带动公众参与：从项目实施前公众参与度低、存在质疑态度，转变为吸引4000多人次参与堆肥低碳循环研学活动，引导疑虑者主动成为低碳循环宣传志愿者，形成良性反馈循环。

III. Challenges and Support

三、挑战与支持

1. Addressing Public Concerns

To address concerns that "horticultural waste is flammable," 60% moisture control combined with compost temperature and humidity monitoring ensured safe operations. Open composting spaces and organized composting experience activities effectively dispelled the misconception that "composting must produce odor." The circular composting model enhanced public trust in waste classification.

1. 克服公众顾虑：面对“园林垃圾易燃”担忧，采用60%湿度控制结合堆肥温湿度监测，确保安全操作；通过开放堆肥空间和组织堆肥体验活动，有效破解“堆肥必臭”的误解；通过堆肥循环模式，提升公众对垃圾分类信任度。

2. Operational Support

Continuous commissioned operation and policy guidance support were received from the competent authority’s park demonstration base. The project was also included in the "Low-Carbon Schools and Low-Carbon Park Collaborative Innovation Practice Project" under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Small Grants Programme (SGP) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), facilitating effective alignment of low-carbon practices with global climate change goals.

2. 运营支持：获得主管部门公园示范基地的持续委托运营和政策引导支持。获得联合国开发计划署（UNDP）全球环境基金小额赠款计划（GEF/ SGP）低碳学校和低碳园区协同创新实践项目。助力低碳实践与全球气候变化目标有效联结。

3. Communication and Awards

The project received coverage in 5 CCTV news reports and dozens of provincial/municipal media outlets. It hosted over 100 domestic and foreign government officials, experts, and scholars for visits and exchanges, gaining widespread recognition and driving the promotion of its experience. In 2025, the organization’s director was honored as a "Qingdao Top Talent," and the "Green Pioneer" project won the Silver Award at the National Volunteer Service Competition.

3. 传播和评奖：获央视5次新闻及数十家省市媒体报道，接待100余位国内外政府官员和专家学者参访交流，获得广泛认可并推动经验推广。2025年机构主任获评“青岛拔尖人才”，“绿先锋”项目获志愿服务国赛银奖。
