Hanoi (VNA) – A webinar on measures to optimise the exploitation of solidwaste potential in Vietnam in order to turn waste into resources,  was held by the Vietnam Initiative for Energy Transition (VIETSE) on July 19, bringing together experts, andrepresentatives from environment organisations and development partners.

Accordingto Tran Hoang Anh, an energy analyst at the VIETSE, his agency isconducting researches on solutions to optimise the country's solid wastepotential and one of the important tools being developed by this centre is thedaily solid waste map at urban and industrial scale.

Thismap is developed based on survey data on the amount of daily solid waste released per capita in provinces and cities, and the commune-level populationsurvey data. The analysis results are visualised on the geographic information system(GIS).

Themap’s information system displays data on solid waste management in medical, construction and industrial sectors; management of waste treatment facilities; collectionand treatment activities of garbage and domestic solid waste.

In addition to high security, this system also easily shares data with users onGoogle's cloud computing platform, easily updates data remotely, provides the possibilityfor many users at the same time to co-edit, providing data analysis andsynthesis tools in accordance with different topics.

The map is expected to help identify the future potential of this field in the energytransition process towards reducing environmental pollution and protecting theclimate, Anh said.

It will alsosupport the decision-making process of investment in solid waste treatmentprojects, as well as develop effective waste management and treatment policies,contributing to the energy and environmental protection sectors’ development,he added.

Sharing international experience, Hans Breukelman, Directorof BreAd company - a member of the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) of the Netherlands, underlined theimportance for cooperation among parties, including governments, businesses,communities and people, for waste treatment, saying that public-privatecooperation will play an essential role in this scheme.

Participants discussed waste treatment experience and technologies, and theability to apply those in Vietnam in the most effective way in order to turnwaste into a resource, contributing to helping the country develop a circulareconomy, reduce environmental pollution towards releasing the goal of net-zero-emissionby 2050.

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, thevolume of collected solid waste doubled between 2015 and 2019, from 32,400tonnes per day to 65,000 tonnes per day, in which 35.600 tonnes per day (over50%) came from urban areas although the rural population is twice as high asurban areas.

🦂 In 2019, only 85% of the collected solid waste was treated in the waymeeting the national technical standards, up 10% compared to the figure in2015. The Government aims to increase the ratio to 90% for urban waste and 85% forrural waste by 2025, and reach 100% by 2050./.
