CCTV News:In order to promote green development and stable economic growth, in 2024, the National People’s Congress proposed to promote the trade-in of consumer goods and boost service consumption. How to make it easier for people to get rid of the old and be more willing to change? Lin ‘an District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province has launched a small online recycling program for all kinds of goods.


It is the staff of renewable resources network who are teaching Ms. Chen how to use the online recycling applet. Because old electrical appliances are too heavy and the distribution of outlets is uneven, it used to be difficult for many citizens, especially the elderly, to deal with them. Now, as long as you click on your mobile phone, professionals will come to your door within half an hour.

It is understood that at present, Lin ‘an has set up a total of 406 renewable resource outlets, relying on the digital platform to improve the efficiency of resource recycling and continue to accelerate the pace of trade-in.
