A waste treatment and recycling plant was inaugurated in Cao Lanh District, the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, on Wednesday.

The Dap Da plant has total investment capital of VND270 billion, covering an area of 10ha and with designed capacity of 240 tonnes of waste per day.

A representative of investor Cuu Long Environment Joint Stock Company said the plant uses Dano technology, which can classify waste components by both automatic and manual systems.

Waste is then recycled into plastic seeds, organic fertiliser, smoke-free coal and bricks.

The project will benefit and help solve environmental issues of Cao Lanh City and the districts of Cao Lanh, Thap Muoi and Thanh Binh.

Nguyen Thanh Hung, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, praised the investor for completing the project ahead of schedule and asked it to effectively run the plant. In the near future, the company will install several plants to raise the daily capacity to 500 tonnes and treat part of the waste from Lap Vo District. — VNS
