China`s rapid stage of economic growth runs almost parallel to the burgeoning amount of refuse it produces. The rate of consumption is on the rise and will continue to grow. Consumption, in turn, creates waste that must be effectively managed--China is, indeed, experiencing increased growth in municipal and industrial solid waste. And, while the country still lacks sufficient infrastructure in many areas such as solid waste management, some of the more prosperous provinces hold opportunities for environmental companies. One such province, Jiangsu, is on the east coast of China and has benefited from China`s economic reforms.
