Invested at a total cost of 120 billion VND (5.4 million USD), the 22-hectare plant becomes the first high-tech waste treatment plant in the region. Along with protecting the environment, it plays a crucial role in building Pho Yen town into a new industrial zone in the region.
The plant includes a hazardous waste incinerator, an oil recycling facility, an electrical and electronic waste treatment system and a battery treating system. It also has a warehouse system to classify and store the waste, as well as a cold storage facility for medical waste.
Upon stable operation, the plant will create jobs for 400 local labourers.
The Viet Xuan Moi Joint Stock Company is planning to build the second phase of the plant to treat domestic waste and increase recycling capacity.-VNA
