Zero Waste in the Palace Museum
In January 2020, the Palace Museum joined hands with the Vanke Foundation to launch a zero-waste campaign, aiming to build a world-leading waste-free museum through adopting a science- based and meticulous approach to waste management, maximizing resource utilization efficiency and increasing public awareness of the response to climate change.
The campaign was divided into two stages: zero-waste office and zero-waste tours, which have been proceeding in a phased manner to promote waste reduction, recycling, and pollution-free treatment.
Internally, the Palace Museum has optimized the locations and appearances of trash bins based on analysis of data on visitors' environmental behavior, built eco-friendly composts for flower beds according to the landscape layout of the Forbidden City, and strengthened relevant training of staff members.
Externally, the museum advocates environmental protection among visitors through presenting zero-waste cultural and creative products as well as environmental brochures and videos and launching the "empty plate" campaign, zero-waste guided tours, and other activities.
In 2023, the zero-waste campaign of the Palace Museum was exhibited as an innovative practice at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference, vividly showcasing the contributions made by China's culture, tourism, and museum sectors to green, low-carbon development worldwide.
The zero-waste campaign is an important measure of the Palace Museum to practice a green development philosophy. It has helped tell green development stories of Chinese museums, create a new calling card for the Palace Museum featuring "red walls and a green environment", and promote concepts of energy conservation and emission reduction throughout society.

故宮零廢棄
2020年1月，故宮博物院與萬(wàn)科公益基金會(huì)聯(lián)合發(fā)起“故宮零廢棄”項(xiàng)目，旨在通過(guò)科學(xué)精細(xì)的廢棄物管理方式，提高資源利用效率，倡導(dǎo)公眾響應(yīng)氣候變化行動(dòng)，將故宮博物院建設(shè)為國(guó)際領(lǐng)先的零廢棄博物館。
該項(xiàng)目分為“零廢棄辦公”和“零廢棄游覽”兩個(gè)階段，以減量化、資源化、無(wú)害化為原則，按階段推進(jìn)。對(duì)內(nèi)建設(shè)階段，采集并分析觀眾環(huán)境行為數(shù)據(jù)，完成垃圾桶點(diǎn)位優(yōu)化及外觀升級(jí)，結(jié)合故宮景觀建設(shè)生態(tài)堆肥花壇，并向故宮員工進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)。對(duì)外倡導(dǎo)階段，展示由故宮回收廢棄物創(chuàng)作而成的雕塑作品，推出零廢棄文創(chuàng)產(chǎn)品、科普?qǐng)D文及視頻，開(kāi)展光盤行動(dòng)、零廢棄導(dǎo)覽等公眾活動(dòng)。2023年，該項(xiàng)目亮相于第二十八屆聯(lián)合國(guó)氣候變化大會(huì)，向世界生動(dòng)展示中國(guó)文旅文博行業(yè)綠色低碳發(fā)展成果。
“故宮零廢棄”是故宮博物院踐行綠色發(fā)展理念的重要舉措，將會(huì)有助于講好中國(guó)博物館綠色故事，打造“紅墻綠景”新名片，在節(jié)能減排、理念倡導(dǎo)方面為社會(huì)做出積極貢獻(xiàn)。
