Resistance to energy-from-waste incineration has been overcome

The resistance to energy-from-waste incineration in 2009 and 2010 led to concerns on the part of local governments and the public regarding the environmental effect of energy-from-waste plants in China, which delayed various government approvals as well as the construction progress of ongoing energy-from-waste projects at ZhongDe. However, as a result of PR activities on the part of ZhongDe and the Chinese central government in various professional arenas, TV reporting, and other government relations and media activities, the concerns and fears were dispelled and investment in energy-from-waste plants and construction projects can now continue.
