The submitted proposal stipulates the construction of one urban waste treatment facility in Tan Hung commune, Tan Chau district in the southern province of Tay Ninh, and one rural waste treatment facility in Tu Son commune, Hien Thuy district in Hai Phong city in the northern key economic region.

The Tay Ninh facility will cover 10ha of land, with a capital of 138 billion VND (6.49 million USD). The plant will process all kinds of solid waste with a daily capacity of 150-300 tonnes. It will apply bio-technology that has high speed aerobic fermentation and processes the end products into compost fertiliser.

The facility in Hai Phong covers 2,000m2 with a total capital of 5.5 billion VND (250,000 USD). It will process general rural waste with a capacity of 5-10 tonnes a day.

According to the Deputy Minister for Construction, Phan Thi My Linh, the implementation of the pilot projects is crucial for carrying out the national solid waste treatment programme in 2011-2020, in a bid to contribute to Vietnam’s environmental protection and sustainable development efforts.-VNA
