As a senior graduate of China Agricultural University majoring in environment, this little problem can not be difficult to defeat me Oh!

I heard that the leftover zongzi leaves from the recent zongzi festival caused a lot of discussion, zongzi leaves belong to dry garbage or wet garbage?

First of all, I'm afraid this is the first time we've heard of the concept of dry garbage and wet garbage. The vast majority of people in China only think of the words "garbage dump", "garbage classification", "white trash" and so on, but this is the first time they have heard of dry garbage and wet garbage. Many people may associate wet and dry garbage with the amount of water contained in the garbage, and some people have even asked the question, "Is a half-drunk mineral water bottle considered dry garbage or wet garbage? (Laughing) Some children are also asking their parents whether banana peels are dry or wet garbage, and so on and so forth, and the emergence of these questions shows that the country and the government still need to popularize the knowledge of garbage classification.

Recently, many provinces in China have implemented a four-part garbage classification system, which refers to recyclables, items suitable for recovery and recycling, including waste paper, plastics, glass, metal, etc.; kitchen waste, food waste, waste cooking oil and grease, household food waste, as well as discarded vegetables, melons and fruits and other organic perishable garbage; hazardous waste, direct or potential harm to human health or the natural environment. or the natural environment, including waste fluorescent tubes, waste silver thermometers, waste batteries, waste paint buckets, expired medicines, expired cosmetics, etc.; other garbage, in addition to the first three items of domestic garbage, including discarded paper towels, plastic wrap (bags), snack bags or ultra-thin plastic bags, discarded bottles and cans, cigarette butts, sweeping sludge, etc..

Simply put, dry garbage means incinerable garbage and wet garbage means compostable garbage. A half-drunk mineral water bottle like this should be classified as dry waste because it can't be composted. Similarly, banana peels are wet garbage, and dumpling leaves are also wet garbage. So I now ask you, wet paper towels belong to dry garbage or wet garbage? The answer is obvious, wet paper towels belong to dry garbage.

Specifically, dry garbage includes lunch boxes, various kinds of paper (specifically including disposable paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, etc.), and plastic bags. Wet garbage is mostly organic waste that can undergo a chemical process, specifically including a variety of fruit and vegetable peels.

Dry garbage and wet garbage is equivalent to the classification of garbage continue to refine the implementation of garbage classification from the source, not only to facilitate the follow-up will be different garbage? The fact that they are being used in different ways is a great protection of our living environment.

I hope that after reading my answer, you can distinguish between wet and dry garbage, and do garbage classification in your daily life.
