Survey to support USD8.1 million for sustainable waste treatment

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in Vietnam and Samsung Engineering Vietnam Company surveyed to build a sustainable waste management system in Thai Nguyen province to recover resources from waste.

Accordingly, the project has requested the locality create conditions to build a waste treatment plant with a scale of 200 tons per day, located in Yen Binh Industrial Zone (Pho Yen Town).

As designed, the project will be implemented from 2022 to 2025, with an investment capital of about USD8.3 million. In which KOICA supports USD8.1 million, Thai Nguyen province reciprocates USD0.2 million.

When the project is licensed to build and put into use, it will improve the efficiency of domestic waste treatment in the province through classification and collection, reducing landfilling and burning of household waste, strengthening solid waste management capacity.
