Construction of a waste treatment factory under the build-operate-transfer formula began on Sept. 18 at the Nam Son waste treatment complex in Hanoi ’s outlying district of Soc Son.
The 140 million USD facility has been invested by AIC company, which plans to spend 40 million USD for the factory’s first phase and 100 million USD for the second phase.
Covering around 15 ha, the factory is expected to begin operating by the end of 2011, processing 2,000 tonnes of waste per day and it will be transferred to Hanoi for management in 2036.
AIC Director General Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan said the factory will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure its environmental compliance.
It will turn out compost fertilizers and recycled materials, which will be partly bought by the Vietnam Coal and Minerals Group and the Jacks group and partly exported to Malaysia , Nhan said.
At present, Hanoi is estimated to discharge around 5,000 tonnes of solid waste a day with 3,500 tonnes in urban areas and 1,500 tonnes in rural areas./.
