The green technologies that were used at the competition, including intelligent harvesting machines and eco-friendly transport, have been transferred to public utilities. They continue to serve the coastal area and urban facilities. The authorities note that environmental standards have been organically integrated into the city's management system.
Special attention is paid to waste recycling and low-carbon solutions. The city is developing the recycling of household and food waste, medical materials. Hotels and tourist sites are gradually abandoning single-use plastic. In 2026, the air quality in the city remained in the "good and excellent" category, and Sanya Bay received the status of a national "beautiful bay".
The city is implementing projects to clean up the seabed and preserve coral reefs. Tourists are invited to participate in environmental actions. Thanks to the concept of a "waste-free city", Sanya is included by the United Nations in the list of participants in the "Towards Zero Waste" program. The authorities believe that this experience will become an example of sustainable development for other coastal cities in China.
