Abstract

This paper provides a systematic summary of the construction of urban recycling resources in China from an industrial ecology perspective. Firstly, it analyzes the development history and trends of urban recycling resources in China and compares traditional recycling resource treatment paths to highlight problems such as resource loss and irregular construction. Additionally, the paper proposes a closed-loop path for the utilization of China's urban recycling resources, which can serve as a reference for addressing current recycling resource challenges. This closed-loop path of recycling resource utilization, characterized by the principles of reduction, reuse, and resourcefulness, involves the participation of various stakeholders such as government, enterprises, and producers, and offers valuable suggestions to further enhance the development of urban recycling resources in China.
