Abstract

In order to analyze the common people's understanding and altitude about kitchen waste related issues, 4 questionnaires with totally 55 questions were designed and investigated in Hangzhou during 2014 to 2016. Fourteen core questions summarized from the questionnaires, as well as the corresponding responsions were presented and discussed here. Investigation in common people showed that they paid less attention to kitchen waste related problems than those employed in food industry. Most people get knowledge of kitchen waste via such modern media as TV or internet. Investigations in catering industry showed that the recycling of kitchen waste was still poorly understood and conducted. The awareness of environmental protection in people was related to their certain work position even in catering industry. Garbage classification has not been conducted ideally in Hangzhou. Most people believed that they are willing to cooperate to improve disposal of kitchen waste, while it seemed not so easy to put it into action because of tedious daily operations. It is necessary for the government to make more operational measures.
