Project Implementation

项目实施

I.Brief Implementation Plan and Process of the Project

Since 2019, our organization has taken "Zero Waste Development" as its core mission. Through a tripartite model of "concept promotion – practice cultivation – system building," we have systematically advanced the behavioral optimization and capacity building of green space users. The specific implementation process is as follows:

1. Concept Promotion and Foundational Cultivation (2019-2021)

(1) Promoted the concepts of waste reduction, resource recovery, and harmless treatment at the source through waste classification initiatives in universities and primary/secondary schools. Conducted practical activities such as kitchen waste and garden leaf composting, eco-enzyme production, and old clothes repurposing.

(2) Trained student volunteers through the "Firefly Environmental Promoter Training Program" to advance environmental practices on campuses.

(3) By being selected as a partner in the National Community Kitchen Waste Composting Platform project (jointly initiated by Nanjing University and the Vanke Foundation), dispatched volunteers to participate in professional training and obtained the first batch of National Composting Trainer Certifications.

2. Practice Base Construction and Scaling Up (2022-2023)

(1) Utilized waste materials to create environmental education and labor practice bases for 5 schools, establishing demonstration sites for "Zero Waste School" practice bases.

(2) Established zero-waste practice bases in parks, schools, and enterprises, including: two urban parks (for leaf composting), three primary/secondary schools (for kitchen waste composting and planting practices), one university (comprehensive practice base), and one enterprise (for fermenting and recycling chicken manure and waste mushroom residues). Cultivated 10 composting enthusiasts (covering university students, primary/secondary school teachers and students, returning youth, social organization volunteers, corporate party member volunteers, etc.).

3. Systematization and Regional Promotion (2024-Present)

Leveraging the professional guidance of the CCCP Community Composting Platform, we are building a localized evaluation system for green space users.

Invited to guide the establishment of new "Zero Waste Labor Practice Bases" on campuses, expanding the project's practice coverage.

一、实施方案与过程

自2019年起，本机构以“零废弃建设”为核心，通过“理念推广-实践培育-体系构建”三位一体模式，系统性推进绿色空间使用者的行为优化与能力建设。具体实施过程如下:

1.理念推广与基础培育(2019-2021年)

(1)在高校和中小学校推广垃圾分类源头减量化、资源化、无害化理念，开展厨余与园林落叶堆肥、环保酵素制作、旧衣改造等实践活动。

(2) 通过“萤火虫环保宣传员培育计划"培训学生志愿者，推动校园环保实践。

(3)通过入选全国cccp社区厨余堆肥平台伙伴项目(南京大学与万科公益基金会联合发起)，派出志愿者参与专业培训，获得首批全国堆肥培训师资格证。

2.实践基地建设与规模化拓展(2022-2023年)

(1)利用废弃物为5所学校打造环境教育与劳动实践基地，建立“零废弃学校"实践基地示范点。

(2)在公园、学校、企业落地零废弃实践基地，包括:两个城市公园(落叶堆肥处理)、

三所中小学校(厨余堆肥与种植实践)、一所高校(综合型实践基地)、一家企业(鸡粪与废弃菇渣等发酵资源化)。培养10名堆肥爱好者(覆盖高校学生、中小学师生、返乡青年、社会组织志愿者、企业党员志愿者等)。

3.体系化与区域推广(2024年至今)

借助 cccp社区堆肥平台专业指导，构建本土化绿色空间使用者评价体系。

受邀指导校园新建"零废弃劳动实践基地"，扩大项目实践覆盖范围。

II. Comparison Before and After Implementation

1. Pre-Implementation Status: Concepts of waste classification and resource recovery remained at the promotional level, lacking practical vehicles. Organic waste (kitchen waste, fallen leaves) from campuses and parks was directly transported away for disposal, resulting in significant resource waste. The public held cognitive biases about resource recovery technologies like composting (e.g., concerns about odor, flies, and mosquitoes).

2. Post-Implementation Results

Reduction and Resource Recovery: Significant reduction in the monthly volume of leaves transported from parks and kitchen waste from campuses. Compost products replaced commercial organic fertilizer, substantially reducing costs in base planting areas.

Capacity Building: Cultivated 10 composting enthusiasts with a certain level of professional competence (subsequent plans include collaborating with the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau to develop compost trainer certification training), supporting regional zero-waste practices. Established 7 zero-waste practice bases with significant results in treating organic waste.

Behavioral Change: Through park composting experience activities, alleviated residents' concerns about composting, promoting voluntary and proper waste classification among residents.

二、实施前后对比

1.实施前现状: 垃圾分类与资源化理念停留在宣传层面，缺乏实践载体。校园及公园的有机废弃物(厨余、落叶)直接外运处理，资源浪费严重。公众对堆肥等资源化技术存在认知偏差(如担心异味、蚊蝇)。

2.实施后成效

减量化与资源化: 公园月度落叶外运量和校园厨余垃圾减量明显。堆肥产物替代商用有机肥，显著降低基地种植区成本能力建设:培养具备一定专业素养的堆肥爱好者10名（后续拟与人社局、城管局合作开展堆肥师认证培训），支撑区域零废弃实践。建7个零废弃实践基地，处理有机废弃物成效显著。

行为改变: 通过公园堆肥体验活动，消除居民对堆肥的顾虑，推动居民自愿做好垃圾分类。

III. Challenges Overcome and Support Received

1. Major Challenges

Insufficient Funding: Addressed by recruiting volunteers to collect discarded materials and self-designing and building practice bases, avoiding material and design costs. Site Selection Difficulties: Prioritized establishing demonstration points in parks; demonstrated feasibility through two years of complaint-free operation, gradually securing sites in campuses and enterprises. Public Cognitive Barriers: Overcame misconceptions about compost odor and pollution through hands-on experience activities (e.g., composting operation demonstrations in parks).

2. Internal and External Support

Internal Support: 

The core team includes one professionally certified composting trainer and ten composting enthusiasts with two years of practical experience, possessing independent training and base construction capabilities. Developed standardized curriculum systems (kitchen waste composting, enzyme production, used-clothes upcycling).

External Support:

  (1) Policy Support: Obtained approval from local government and education departments to conduct composting practices in public spaces, and soon to be included in the "Carbon Inclusive Platform" of the China Carbon Metrology Center located in our institution's area (Yanping District, Nanping City, Fujian Province).

  (2) Professional Support: Collaborated with Nanjing University (Lishui) Ecological Environment Research Institute, participating in national-level composting training programs.

  (3) Social Resources: Selected as a partner in the National Community Kitchen Waste Composting Platform project, receiving professional technical guidance from the university, testing and certification support from authoritative institutions, and experience sharing from platform partners nationwide; multiple local schools and enterprises actively participated in the co-construction of bases, sharing resources.

三、克服的挑战与获得的支持

1.主要挑战

资金不足:通过招募志愿者收集废弃物料，自行设计建造实践基地，规避物料与设计成本。选址困难:优先在公园建立示范点，通过2年无投诉运营证明可行性,逐步争取校园及企业场地。公众认知障碍:通过实地体验活动(如公园堆肥操作示范)，逐步消除对堆肥异味与污染的误解。

2.内部支持:

核心团队包含一名专业认证堆肥培训师及2年实践经验的堆肥爱好者十名，具备自主培训与基地建设能力。开发标准化课程体系(厨余堆肥、酵素制作、旧物改造)。

3.外部支持:

1）政策支持:获得地方政府与教育部门批准，在公共空间开展堆肥实践，并即将纳入位于本机构所在地的中国碳计量中心（福建省南平市延平区）的“碳普惠平台"。

2）专业支持:与南京大学(溧水)生态环境研究院合作，参与国家级堆肥培训项目。

3）社会资源:入选全国社区厨余堆肥平台伙伴项目的高校专业技术指导和权威机构检测认证支持以及来至全国各地平台伙伴的经验分享;多所在地学校及企业主动参与基地共建，共享资源。

IV. Summary

Through five years of continuous practice, this project has validated the effectiveness of the three-tier promotion model of "Park – Campus – Enterprise." It has achieved a transition from concept promotion to behavioral change, and from individual participation to system building. Future plans include expanding the scale of practice bases, refining the green space user evaluation system, and providing grassroots practice examples for the construction of "Zero Waste Cities" and the achievement of the dual carbon goals.

四、总结

本项目通过持续5年的实践，验证了“公园-校园-企业”三级推广模式的有效性，实现了从理念宣传到行为改变、从个体参与到系统构建的转型。未来计划扩大实践基地规模，完善绿色空间使用者评价体系，并为“无废城市”建设及实现双碳目标提供基层实践范例。

Project Impact & Sustainability

项目影响力、可推广性与可持续性

1. Innovation in Waste Disposal Model: To address the issues of high disposal costs and low resource utilization rate for urban domestic waste, an on-site co-composting model for kitchen and green waste was proposed. This model enables the conversion of waste into resources within a small space, reducing disposal costs and improving resource utilization. The compost products can be used for soil improvement or sold externally, supporting the sustainable operation of the project.

2. Innovation in Common Key Technologies: A "sandwich-like" compost structure for kitchen waste and green waste was proposed to prevent the generation of leachate and odors, and a real-time monitoring and control system for temperature and humidity was integrated to achieve information-based management.

3. Promotion of Composting Technology in the Transportation Field: The project promoted the application of this composting technology in transportation scenarios such as airports, high-speed railway stations, passenger stations, and service areas through new media publicity, patent paper submission, and industry conferences, in order to enhance waste treatment efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

1. 废弃物处置模式创新: 针对城市生活垃圾处理成本高、资源化率低的问题，提出餐厨与绿化废弃物就地协同堆肥模式，实现在小空间内将废弃物转化为资源，降低处理成本并提高资源利用率。堆肥产品可用于土壤改良或外销，支撑项目可持续运营。

2. 共性关键技术创新: 提出餐厨垃圾、绿化废弃物“类三明治”式堆体结构，避免渗滤液和异味的产生，并集成温湿度实时监测与调控系统，实现信息化管理。

3. 推动堆肥技术在交通运输领域的应用: 项目通过新媒体宣传、专利论文申报及行业会议推广，积极推动该堆肥技术在机场、高铁站、客运站、服务区等交通运输场景的应用，以提升垃圾处理效能、减少碳排放。
