HCM City seeks approval for solid-waste treatment plan
The People’s Committee of HCM City has submitted a solid-waste treatment plan to 2025 to the Ministry of Construction, which will seek approval from the central Government. The plan calls for re-use and recycling of waste by using advanced waste treatment technologies instead of the burying of waste. Such advanced technology will save land use and construction costs for new waste treatment facilities. The plan creates an inter-district network of entrepots using advanced technologies to meet demand for collection, transport and treatment of solid waste.
