Shanghai Mingdong Container Terminals & Shanghai Pudong International Container Terminals

On 27 September, SMCT and SPICT took 40 students from their dock school Tonggang Primary to visit a waste disposal centre. The school is located in the Waigaoqiao Port Zone and most of the students are the children of migrant labourers working in the zone. The centre is the biggest municipal solid waste treatment facility in China, handling 70% of Shanghai’s solid waste. During the tour, the students were given an overview of the waste incineration process and taught about the importance of sorting household waste.
