HCM City promotes digital transformation in waste management
HCM City is making efforts to promote digital transformation in the collection, treatment and management of the huge volume of domestic solid waste discharged daily. The city generates about 9,700 tonnes of solid waste daily with complicated composition and characteristics, putting great pressure on domestic waste management, collection, transportation and treatment units.
The ‘Grac’ app developed by GRAC Technology Joint Stock Company on two platforms, including web for authorities and mobile for residents, is being used by waste collectors in the city to digitise waste management. Users can download and install this app on their iOS or Android devices to interact with the app’s waste services such as registering for waste collection, paying fees and monitoring garbage truck routes.
