Gu Kaiwen is very clear that environmental protection projects require long-term continuous burning of money.

It is precisely for this reason that there are very few environmental protection projects to protect the natural environment, and even official support is very limited, let alone profit-seeking business groups?

Faced with Gu Kaiwen's inquiry, Wei Jianmin became silent. He thought secretly about the cost of garbage sorting and treatment plans.

Wei Jianmin has worked in the field of environmental protection for more than 20 years. He has also been planning for garbage sorting and treatment plans for more than five years. He knows very well about the details of the garbage sorting and treatment plans.

It is precisely because he knows the garbage classification and treatment plan in detail that Wei Jianmin carefully considered how to explain the relevant costs of garbage classification and treatment to Gu Kaiwen.

After all, even if the pilot is only carried out in Shafu District, a lot of money is required.

If the quotation is too high, Wei Jianmin is worried that Gu Kaiwen will give up the garbage sorting and treatment project; but if the quotation is too low, it is impossible, because every transaction in the garbage sorting and treatment plan requires actual money and expenses to be handled.

Gu Kaiwen looked at the silent Wei Jianmin, and he guessed Wei Jianmin's concerns more or less, "Mr. Wei, you don't have to worry about the investment in garbage sorting and disposal, so that I can give up this project."

"Huh?" Wei Jianmin looked at Gu Kaiwen hesitantly. He was unable to tell for a moment whether Gu Kaiwen was telling the truth or was advancing or retreating.

After thinking for a few seconds, Wei Jianmin sighed in his heart, and he said, "Mr. Gu, the investment in garbage sorting and treatment plans is indeed a bit large!"

"Tell me what you want?" Gu Kaiwen signaled Wei Jianmin to explain in detail.

Wei Jianmin explained, "We use Shafu District as a pilot. Before launching the garbage classification and treatment project, we must first promote the specific matters of garbage classification and treatment. For example, we must tell the public how to distinguish the types of garbage, and then throw different types of garbage into different trash cans."

Gu Kaiwen nodded slightly, promoting the detailed content of the garbage sorting and treatment plan is indeed the first step to do.

Otherwise, ordinary people don’t know how to sort garbage, and how can they consciously classify and discard it?

"When I promote garbage sorting and disposal, I can place advertisements on Shengqing TV Station, and I can also place advertisements on bus body, site advertisements, and printing promotional brochures, and free distribution, etc.," Gu Kaiwen explained.

Wei Jianmin breathed a sigh of relief. From Gu Kaiwen's answer, he heard that Gu Kaiwen really wanted to promote the implementation of garbage sorting and treatment plans, rather than just investing in environmental protection projects to make profits.

"When we publicize garbage sorting to ordinary people, we also need to train environmental protection practitioners to learn how to sort and treat garbage. At the same time, we also need to replace the corresponding recycling equipment, including the garbage collection bins installed by recycling vehicles and the garbage cans in residential areas." Wei Jianmin explained.

He continued to add, "We need to have at least four garbage bins in residential areas, namely recyclable bins, organic bins, non-recyclable bins, and toxic and harmful bins. In order to promote ordinary people to sort and discard garbage according to our settings, at least a reminder billboard should be set up in the garbage bin stacking area to remind the public of the benefits of garbage sorting and disposal."

"There is no problem with these." Gu Kaiwen said affirmatively.

"In addition, we also need to establish a garbage sorting and storage center to sort and store the already classified garbage, and then carry out the next step of treatment. If we have enough funds, we can refer to Baodao Province to establish corresponding organic fertilizer treatment plants, non-recyclable crushing plants, and toxic and harmful substances without pollution incineration plants." Wei Jianmin looked at Gu Kaiwen with luxury.

Gu Kaiwen coughed and responded, "The road must be taken step by step, and the food must be eaten at a bite. The factories you mentioned must be built in the future, but not now."

Wei Jianmin sighed regretfully.

Gu Kaiwen said curiously, "I'll ask first, how much does it cost to build those factories?"

"The investment amount must be determined based on the treatment scale of the factory. For example, the investment amount of organic fertilizer factories that treat 100,000 tons of organic waste a day requires about 200 million to 300 million." Wei Jianming responded.

He then added, "Although the investment amount of organic fertilizer factories is relatively high, it can produce organic fertilizers and has broad prospects in terms of profits. Especially in combination with the organic ecological planting industry, it can create more value."

Gu Kaiwen was speechless.

An organic fertilizer factory costs 200 million to 300 million. He was complacent for his net worth over 10 million. It felt toxic!

"Where is the crushing factory for non-recyclables?" Gu Kaiwen asked again.

"This one is very cheap!" Wei Jianmin said quickly, "because only some non-recyclable substances need to be processed, and the processing method is only crushed. Therefore, if it is a treatment scale of 100,000 tons, the investment amount is only 30 million, and most of the investment is to purchase crushing equipment."

Gu Kaiwen asked back, "But this factory has no profitability, right?"

Wei Jianmin sneered awkwardly.

The crushing factory for non-recyclables does not have any profitability. After all, according to the current policy, the official treatment plan for non-recyclables is only landfill, so how can an additional amount of money be spent on crushing?

"The pollution-free incineration plant of toxic and hazardous waste should not have a source of profit." Gu Kaiwen explained first.

Wei Jianmin retorted, "No! Pollutant and harmful waste incineration plants have profits. Mr. Gu, we can cooperate with medical institutions to help them destroy medicines that exceed the shelf life and medical equipment garbage."

Gu Kaiwen sneered, "Will they hand over the expired medicines from medical institutions to us to destroy?"

"As long as we increase our scale, as long as we achieve results, as long as we gain the support of the people, medical institutions can only accept it with their noses!" Wei Jianmin said confidently.

Gu Kaiwen waved his hand, "Forget it, just pay for it! However, I can't invest in the three factories you mentioned now. How do you plan to solve this problem?"

"The cost of the garbage sorting and storage center is not high, it is equivalent to a garbage storage warehouse. We can hand over the recyclable garbage to the corresponding enterprises for processing. As for the non-recyclable garbage, we can only choose to landfill for the time being, but we stripped away other garbage and just landfills with non-recyclable objects, which is much better than the current treatment method." Wei Jianmin explained.

"As for organic waste, we can refer to the current treatment method and still leave it to the official. Although the official treatment is just a simple treatment and will not be used again, it will at least not cause more pollution." Wei Jianmin added.

"The official treatment method for the last remaining toxic and harmful waste is mostly to turn a blind eye. If there is a large-scale toxic and harmful waste, it will be concentrated and burned. If it is a small-scale, it will be mixed in non-recyclable substances and directly choose to be filled with landfill." Wei Jianmin sighed.

This treatment method is very polluted to the natural environment!
