Vietnam’s solid waste up 46 pct in decade: report
The amount of domestic solid waste in Vietnam has increased by 46 percent from 2010 to 2019, according to a recent national report on solid waste management.
Several challenges remain in the management of domestic solid waste, including a lack of waste sorting facilities and insufficient focus on daily waste reduction. Waste recycling efforts are still limited, while the dominant method of waste burial takes up space and may hurt the surrounding environment.
