Waste sorting becomes intelligent in Hefei

Intelligent garbage classification is being piloted at the community of Lancuiyuan in Anhui's provincial capital, Hefei, as of July 16, 2017. Every household in the community receives a QR code card, with which they can use to earn credits by correctly sorting their domestic waste. The credits can be exchanged for daily goods. [Photo: IC]
