Hanoi faces a ‘waste crisis’
Landfills in Hanoi have become overloaded as progress on waste treatment projects continues slowly.
In order to treat the increasingly high volume of domestic waste, Hanoi has put some waste treatment plants into operation, including Nedo incineration plant (75 tons a day), belonging to Nam Son Complex, and Son Tay (700 tons a day), Xuan Son (150 tons), Phuong Dinh – Dan Phuong (200 tons). However, some plants have been operating ineffectively because of inadequate technologies and degraded equipment. The plants often have to stop operation for maintenance.
