What factors did push towards the Eco-Townproject?
(1)A sense of crisis was prevailing in 1990s because of the rapid down-turn of the
national and local economy.
(2)Private companies invested funds in technological development, management
innovations and environmental management to meet the requirement of new era
(especially 3R and CO2reduction). (3)The national and municipal government gave the highest priority environmental
issues (especially 3R and CO2reduction) .
Containers and Packaging Recycling Law1995

Three Rs
1. Reduce:
Decrease the emission of waste
by developing a new productive
process.
It includes reduction byincineration and dryness.
2. Reuse
Waste is used again as it is
without putting a hand on it.
Use them again after washing
collected glass bottle.
3. Recycle
Conversion waste to resource
again by using energy.
Build in the glass bottle again
after crushing the collected glassbottle, and use it as a road
pavement material.
Besides these three R, there are
also Refuse, Refine and Repair.
