Decoupling Economic Growth And Zero Pollution Through Industrial Waste Recycling

The correlation between EKC and recycling potential indicated a downward trend, showing China is moving toward decoupling. By expanding holistic utilization, the Chinese vision for 2030 advocates for decoupling economic growth and zero pollution (Circular Economy). Consequently, panel data from East Asian nations (such as China) can be utilized to evaluate the generalizability of the results. Again, governments should establish Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance to find efficient, cost-effective, and investment-worthy waste utilization sources. Along with technological advancements, this will cut waste emissions and stimulate economic growth. This approach has increased industrial resource efficiency, resulting in a 50% reduction in industrial energy intensity throughout the 1990s. Most cities should develop a centralized industrial solid waste management system to combat the inevitable reduction in decoupling efficiency.
