An international workshop on solid waste management and treatment was held on March 11 by the Can Tho City People’s Committee in coordination with the AKIA project ( Germany ) in Vietnam.

Burying the waste was supported by the guest experts, who said the measure is suitable for the region as it is low cost, helps reduce air pollution and is easy to implement.
Global advanced technologies to treat solid waste were also presented to the gathering.
