Solid Waste Disposal
Waste-free Cities Empowered by a
Full Industrial Chain with Holistic &
Integrated Solid Waste Disposal
Services
Grandblue has established a comprehensive vertical chain
development model covering front-end sanitation
integration, middle-end transfer, and back-end treatment. Likewise, it has established horizontal synergistic integration
and resource utilization advantages in the treatment of
household waste, kitchen waste, sludge, industrial
hazardous waste, agricultural waste, garden waste, bulk
waste, and medical waste, and has consistently improved
the comprehensive environmental management service
capacity, enabling the building of a \"wastefree city.\"
Solid Waste Disposal
A Full Industrial Chain with Holistic & Integrated
Solid Waste Disposal
As of 2025, Grandblue has delivered high-quality solid waste disposal services to 77 counties of 54 cities in 20 provinces and
autonomous regions. Additionally, Grandblue is an equity holder in several waste incineration power generation projects in Bangkok,
Thailand. 77 Counties of 54 Cities in 20 Provinces

A Holistic & Integrated Solution for“Waste-free Cities”
The sharing of energy, resources and environmental protection facilities has enabled recycling across the entire industrial chain, addressing the
challenges of site selection, NIMBY syndrome, low resource utilization and secondary pollution caused by the scattered construction and lack of
synergy in the decentralized disposal of multi-source solid waste. The synergetic management of pollution & carbon reduction could slash carbon
by 700,000 tons/year. Less demand for
land resources Less difficulty of site selection
Less workload of EIA, safety and
stability assessment Less NIMBY
Less energy use
Less operating costs
More reuse More cut-down on waste
More efficiency and rigor in
regulating urban and rural solid waste collection, transportation and
tail-end disposal, etc
More efficient operation & management Less pollutant emissions Better city image
Back end: Multi-source solid waste 100% co-processing for pollution and carbon reduction & green recycling of resources
“Recycling 1.0” is featured by the dominance of power
generation through waste incineration to co-process
different solid wastes, thus producing green power for
preliminary comprehensive use of resources. ”Recycling 2.0”is marked by an all-round upgrade of
the intensive utilization of existing resources and
comprehensive recycling of secondary waste and by- products in order to form final products.

• Application technology:Developed the first waste sorting “cloud supervision” platform – Nanhai sorting cloud manager - to
create a smart cloud service platform covering smart sanitation, smart municipal works, smart building service, etc, to manage
people, vehicles, objects and things involved in urban environmental services in smart manner. • Efficiency improvement:
1. Timely adjust indicators to deal with problems by the needs of sanitation work, improving flexibility and adaptability. 2. Optimized the way environmental sanitation supervision works with better quality and efficiency.

l Application technology: Real-time and predictive route planning for waste collection and transport based on Grandblue’s indigenous route
optimization algorithm OmniRoute and industrial-grade map OmniMap
l Efficiency improvement:More efficient scheduling, collection and transport of food and kitchen waste, solving the problem of food and kitchen
waste collection from the source, achieving efficient garbage collection and transport, timely handling of emergency situations, fine business data
management, and real-time government regulation and social supervision. The system has been further modified and applied to agricultural
waste and industrial hazardous waste, forming an efficient closed-loop collection and transport system.
