Hanoi applies Fukuoka waste treatment technology

Hanoi is revamping its Xuan Son solid waste treatment zone in Son Tay town utilizing “The Fukuoka Method” proven to be more environmentally friendly.

The zone encompasses the western region of the capital city, including districts and towns along Thang Long Boulevard.  It will apply the advanced Fukuoka technology to reduce sludge, better stabilize the sites, and improve the quality of the environment at Xuan Son village and adjacent areas.
 

 

Hanoi will expand its model in the future based on its results, official sources report.

The cooperative project between Hanoi and Fukuoka will be built on more than 3.3ha at a cost of more than VND49 billion.

Once completed within the next 8 months, the plant is expected to treat around 100 tonnes of waste per day.
