Update news waste classification at source
Although the programme of classifying household solid waste at its source has been piloted and implemented for many years in HCM City, it has not been highly effective, because most people are not aware of the importance of waste classification.
There are about 60,000 tonnes of waste disposed of each day in Vietnam, only 15 percent of which is collected, recycled, or reused.
A workshop was held in the central city of Da Nang on August 2 to kick off the second phase of a project on waste classification at source and waste recycling funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in the locality.
Households, agencies and businesses in Tan An City's Ward 3 started sorting their waste for collection on Thursday.
