The work on Ho Chi Minh City’s first plant to process solid industrial and hazardous waste has begun and the plant is expected to become operational in September 2021. The plant will recycle and treat waste from factories, laboratories, health facilities, animal farms, etc., with thermal technology. It covers an area of 17 hectares in the Da Phuoc Solid Waste Treatment Complex in Binh Chanh district. The city currently produces nearly 2,500 tonnes of industrial waste per day, of which hazardous waste makes up 400 tonnes. The large-scale industrial and hazardous waste treatment plant in Da Phuoc is expected to expand the scale and capacity to treat waste in Ho Chi Minh City.
