On May 22nd, a delegation of over 20 representatives from Kazakhstan, including government officials and local residents, visited SUS Gaoling Project in Xi¡¯an, China. Their goal was to witness firsthand how a waste-to-energy plant operates and to address their concerns about such facilities.
Traditionally, waste-to-energy plants are perceived as sources of odor, pollution, and health risks, often leading to the "Not In My Backyard" (NIMBY) effect. However, the delegation¡¯s visit to SUS Gaoling Project transform perceptions.
During their three-day tour, the delegation explored SUS Gaoling Project and other waste disposal facilities. At SUS Gaoling Project, they were amazed by the garden-style design of the plant. Inside, they noticed no waste smells, and the entire operation was managed efficiently through digital systems. Real-time emissions data was displayed publicly, ensuring full transparency.
One representative remarked, "This plant is cleaner and more organized than most factories we¡¯ve seen."
In a face-to-face discussion, the delegation learned SUS Gaoling's success comes from: 1) Cutting-edge flue gas technology exceeding EU Emission standards; 2) AI-powered digital management optimizing every aspect of management; 3) Open days and engagement fostering trust and transforming NIMBY to PIMBY. 4£©Garden-style plant design combining functionality with ecological aesthetics.
As a global leading comprehensive environmental service provider, SUS ENVIRONMENT¡¯s approach offers a replicable model for sustainable development worldwide. Through innovation and open dialogue, SUS ENVIRONMENT proves that waste management facilities can be both environmentally friendly and community-approved.
