3. New trends in environmental protection treatment
Three innovative solutions that have been hotly discussed in the past week:

2.DIY Composting Tutorial: Xiaohongshu’s popular video shows that mixing tofu cat litter and vegetable and fruit waste can be made into safe fertilizer (it takes more than 60 days to ferment)
3.Intelligent processing equipment: A new product "Cat Litter Decomposer" on a crowdfunding platform claims to be able to degrade 2kg of cat litter in 3 hours, and has received support from nearly a thousand people.
4. Special reminder from experts
① Medical waste misunderstanding: Normal cat feces does not belong to medical waste unless an infectious disease is diagnosed
② Toilet flushing risk: It is not recommended to flush cat litter into old community pipes, which may cause blockage.
③ Odor control: sealed bags + baking soda can effectively reduce trash can odors
According to the latest data from the Academy of Environmental Sciences, correctly disposing 100g of cat litter is equivalent to reducing 15g of carbon emissions. It is recommended that families with cats choose degradable materials and refer to local garbage classification standards. At present, cities such as Hangzhou and Shenzhen have included cat litter disposal in pet management regulations, and it is expected that more cities will follow up on relevant environmental protection policies.
