He affirmed that as for projects to be implemented after 2021, the city’s authority will also apply advanced technologies for waste treatment.
However, still over 80% of daily waste in Hanoi are treated by burying, while burning treatment accounts for over 10%. Waste incineration has not been favored because it is still polluting, Quan said.
On the city’s investment in waste treatment technology and the supervisory role of the Hanoi People's Council regarding Hanoi’s sanitation, Quan pointed out that the Hanoi People's Council has recently supervised solid waste treatment in the city, focusing on environmental sanitation, waste collection and treatment, building waste treatment zones and factories.
According to the city’s waste treatment policy, from April 2019, 100% of waste in rural to urban areas must be collected and moved out of downtown within the day, Quan stressed.
