The Gaoan Tun plant will deal with 533,000 tonnes of household rubbish every year: half the rubbish produced in the Chaoyang district. The waste heat will generate 220 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and will connect to the state grid.

Rubbish will be burnt without being separated. The remaining slag, 20% of the original rubbish, will be formed into bricks and used in roads and dams, the report said.
