Environmental Technology, Environmental Regulation and Whole Process Management—Evidence from Comparison between 10th and 11th FYP

Since the "11th Five-Year Plan(FYP)",Chinese government puts forward to promote the transformation from end governance to source and whole process management in the field of manufacturing industry. From the perspective of whole process management, the study divides industrial dust emission intensity into source prevention, process control and end treatment of three parts by the Logarithmic Mean Di's Decomposition method(LMDI),and examined the implementation effect of the whole process management from the 10th to the 11th FYP. The study found that, China is undergoing the transformation from end governance to whole process management from the 10th to the 11th FYP, and the areas that have implemented whole process management increased from 8 during the period of the 10th FYP to 18 during the 11th, whose effectiveness can be attributed to different reasons. Especially, the contribution of source prevention increased significantly. Unlike the 10th FYP period, the effectiveness of industrial dust whole process management is primarily attributable to the increase in environmental technology transfer and the strengthening of environmental law enforcement, its effectiveness in the 11th FYP period is mainly attributable to the implementation of the independent innovation of environmental technology. Therefore, it is necessary to play the leading role of environmental technology and promote the transformation of pollution control from end governance to whole process management.
