Can Tho is now home to four solid waste treatment sites in suburban Co Do and
Thoi Lai districts, and urban O Mon and Thot Not districts.
About 70 percent of the city’s daily household waste, or nearly 350 tonnes, are
burned using international-standard technology by China Everbright Group.
The plant is operated by Can Tho EB Environmental Energy Co. Ltd, a subsidiary
of the investor – the China Everbright Group.
General Director of the Can Tho EB Environmental Energy Co. Ltd Chen Wei said
the project is the first in Vietnam invested by the China Everbright Group to
receive an environment protection certificate.
The municipal Department of Natural Resources and Environment reported that as
of late 2020, 98 percent of household waste in urban areas were collected, 75
percent of them were classified in households.
Deputy Director of the department Nguyen Chi Kien said the department will
continue working with the Can Tho EB Environmental Energy, and the districts of
Co Do, Thoi Lai, O Mon and Thot Not to collect, transport and treat wastes. It
will also periodically review and update the master plan on household solid
waste transportation in the city till 2025 with a vision to 2050.
At a conference to launch the department’s tasks in 2021, Vice Chairman of the
municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thuc Hien asked the department to continue
inspecting waste treatment plants to raise their sense of responsibility and
deal with problems at the O Mon and Co Do landfills.
