Turning waste into resources with sorting
Under Vietnam’s 202 Environmental Protection Law, from January 1, 2025, household solid waste must be sorted at each household before being collected, gathered and transported. This is considered a breakthrough towards turning waste into resources while reducing pressure on solid waste treatment processes.
For these regulations to be implemented effectively, specialised agencies and local authorities need to continue improving guidance documents, investing in technical infrastructure and human resources, and organising campaigns to enhance community awareness.
