Abstract

Governments at all levels have gradually begun to focus on domestic waste classification as an effective waste management strategy. Nevertheless, there are still many obstacles to overcome in order to apply the current domestic waste classification policies, which leads to less-than-ideal policy results. In order to identify the institutional components and problems in the domestic waste classification policy texts from eight cities in Sichuan Province, this research uses the institutional grammar tool to methodically code and analyse the policy documents. The results show that normative statements make up the majority of the policies of the local governments, with strategic and rule-based statements serving as a supplement. The analysis identifies shortcomings such a lack of incentive systems, insufficient accountability mechanisms, and insufficient behavioural limitations on autotrophs. In order to increase the efficacy and sustainability of policy implementation, this study makes recommendations for policy optimization that include improving rule-based statements, balancing the roles of various stakeholders, and increasing incentive systems.
