| Summary: | Along with economic growth and improved
living standards, waste from households, industries, and
commercial or service establishments is expected to increase
rapidly over the next years. Managing this waste is a hard
challenge for the Government of Vietnam because of its
substantial cost and lack of awareness and participation of
people and businesses. Wastes can be classified according
to: their form (wastewater, solid waste); their origin
(industrial wastes, agricultural wastes, urban (municipal)
wastes); and their hazardous nature (non-hazardous or hazardous). |
