Project Outcome

项目成果

1. Waste Reduction and Resource Recovery: Systematic sorting, collection, and on-site processing of kitchen waste from residential compounds and local agritainments have been implemented. Weekly processing amounts reach approximately 150 kg during the off-season and 400 kg during the peak tourist period. Over 10 months of stable operation, a total of around 8,000 kg of kitchen waste has been converted into nutrient-rich humus soil.

废弃物减少与资源化：实现集中居住小区居民及周边农家乐产生的厨余垃圾分类投放、收集、就地资源化，旅游淡季每周约150斤厨余垃圾，旺季每周约400斤厨余垃圾。目前已稳定运行10个月，总共实现约8000公斤厨余垃圾转换为腐殖质营养土。

2. Environmental Benefits and Emission Reductions: CO₂e reduction - Using IPCC and other methodologies, aerobic composting of 1 ton of kitchen waste reduces greenhouse gas emissions by about 0.5–0.8 tons of CO₂e compared to landfilling—primarily by avoiding methane generation. Processing 1.95 tons of kitchen waste has thus mitigated an estimated 1.0–1.6 tons of CO₂e. The resulting compost returned to the soil enhances both fertility and carbon sequestration. Pollutant reduction - Effective waste classification and cleanup have significantly decreased risks of soil contamination, water pollution (via reduced leachate), and visual pollution (e.g., plastic waste), helping protect the sensitive ecosystem adjacent to the Giant Panda National Park.

环境效益与减排量：基于IPCC等方法学，好氧堆肥处理1吨厨余垃圾相比垃圾填埋可减少约0.5-0.8吨二氧化碳当量（CO₂e）的温室气体排放（主要避免填埋场产生的甲烷），据此估算处理1.95吨厨余垃圾可实现减排约1.0-1.6吨CO₂e；腐殖质回归土地，为土壤提供养料并增加碳储存能力。垃圾的有效分类和清理，显著减少了土壤污染、水体污染（减少渗滤液风险）和视觉污染（白色污染），保护了毗邻大熊猫国家公园的敏感生态环境。

3. Outreach and Public Engagement: Activity reach - The project has organized 9 educational events, 10 waste-for-rewards activities, 1 eco-fair, and 2 ecological experiences (22 activities in total). With average attendance of 50 people per event (including villagers and tourists), direct participant engagement reached over 750 people. Improved waste disposal facilities and panda-themed branding also indirectly raised awareness among an estimated 60,000 tourists during the two-month peak season, with daily visits averaging 1,000 people.

科普与公众参与：项目开展了9次教育普及、10次兑换活动、1次游园会和2次生态体验（共22场主要活动），每场活动平均覆盖50人（含村民和游客），直接参与及受教育人数预计超过750人次。投放点改造和熊猫IP形象间接影响所有过往游客，云华村旺季日均接待约1000人，旺季时间为2个月，间接影响60000人次。

4. Energy Savings: On-site composting eliminated long-distance transportation and end-processing of waste, saving an estimated 150–200 kWh of electricity equivalent per 1.95 tons of kitchen waste processed.

节能量：垃圾就地资源化（堆肥）避免了垃圾长距离运输和末端处理的能耗，处理1.95吨厨余垃圾，预计节约因运输和处理而产生的能耗约150-200 kWh（等效电耗）。
