“…1), and Shanghai is China's leading city in terms of SSR (Xiao et al, 2020). The compulsory classification provision since 2019 has been successful in Shanghai (Wang et al, 2021), its focus is on promoting the source separation of kitchen waste (Zhang et a., 2012). Current, these successes and pilot areas are being expanded.…”

“…(Chen et al, 2020 ; Tong et al, 2020 ). By June 2020, the sorting rate of household food waste had increased to 99.5% in Shanghai, basically forming a whole-process source separation, collection, and transportation system (Wang et al, 2021b ). Besides, rural areas in Hangzhou, China, proposed the ‘2 + T’ model (biodegradable waste, other waste, and toxic waste), which effectively separated the biodegradable waste for subsequent reduction and resource treatment (Li et al, 2019 ).…”

Shanghai is one of the world-leading megapolises facing the challenge of ecological sustainable development. The recyclable waste from households (RWH) generated in Shanghai has increased rapidly since the implementation of garbage classification in 2019. However, there are no rigorous data on the generation and collection of RWH, and the corresponding countermeasures are required to be studied. This paper attempted to investigate RWH generation and identify the effects of RWH recycling in Shanghai. We used questionnaires combined with a field survey to investigate the competent authorities and leading recycling enterprises to analyze the characteristics of RWH generation. We conducted a monthly survey of 52 leading recycling enterprises in 11 typical districts for 2020. We also identified the main influencing factors of RWH generation using a multiple linear regression model. In addition, we popularized the model to estimate Shanghai’s RWH generation rate. Results show that data from leading recycling enterprises surveys were more accurate and reached a maximum of 82,104.77 kg/cap/month in November 2020. Higher RWH generation was found in suburban districts at 36,396.20 kg/cap/month. Shanghai’s RWH generation rate was 6253.60 t/d through model calculation. The educational level of household managers, regional economic condition, resident population, and disposable income impact RWH generation. Based on the abovementioned results, the implications for RWH management were discussed. We propose to promote the combination of theoretical simulation and information data platform construction. Meanwhile, it is also necessary to improve the capacity of the collection and transport system and accelerate the construction of pre-treatment bases in Shanghai.
