Utilization　of　recyclable　resources　not　only　contributes　to　resource　conservation,　but　also　to　the　reduction　of　environmental　pollution.　The　statistics　on　recyclable　resources　provides　effective　data　support　for　the　promotion　of　waste　recycling　and　utilization.　However,　the　research　and　practice　concerning　recyclable　resources　statistics　are　still　at　initial　stage.　By　investigating　and　analysing　the　statistical　status　quo　of　Beijing＇s　recyclable　resources　production　and　recycling,　this　study　pointed　out　problems　such　as　undefined　statistical　types,　incomplete　statistical　scope,　nonstandard　statistical　methods,　absence　of　supervision,　and　low　integration　of　statistical　resources　among　different　departments.　Based　on　the　problems　mentioned　above,　the　implications　for　recyclable　resources　management　were　discussed.　Establishing　and　issuing　recycling　catalogue,　standardizing　the　statistical　methods　and　process,　building　a　sharing　mechanism　for　the　data　monitoring,　innovating　the　data　collection　method,　and　establishing　statistical　supervision　system　and　appraisal　mechanism　are　suggested　to　improve　the　recyclable　resources　management.　©　2018　Published　under　licence　by　IOP　Publishing　Ltd.
