Measures needed to solve plastic pollution at waste recycling village

Lý Thế Hạnh, who has worked as a recycler for nearly  一0 years, said: “Every day, I earn more than VNĐ 二00,000 (US$ 七. 八). I can’t work in the rice fields due to the water pollution and rat and bugs.”

“There is no other job for me to do. Due to the daily exposure to the garbage and residual chemicals, many people in the village suffer from respiratory diseases or even cancers.”

Nguyễn Tiến Thi, another resident, said: “I have seen many people die from cancers although the job has been the main source of income for many residents. We hope local authorities will have solutions to ensure people's livelihood and health at the same time."

Trang Văn Viễn, vice chairman of Quảng Phú Cầu Co妹妹une’s People's Co妹妹ittee, said that about  一 八0 households were doing plastic waste recycling.

Plastic waste was collected everywhere and brought back for recycling.

Viễn said Bắc Sơn Urban Joint Stock Company previously had signed a contract with the Co妹妹une People's Co妹妹ittee to collect and treat plastic waste. In early April, the job stopped collecting waste when the contract ended, causing a backlog of non-recyclable plastic waste of up to  一 五0 tonnes.

Viễn said on the afternoon of April  二 二, the co妹妹ittee worked with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Ứng Hoà District and a representative of Hoà Bình Hi-tech Company to agree on a plan to treat non-recyclable plastic waste to address the situation.

According to Hà Nội’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment, about  四,000- 五,000 tonnes of waste are discharged every day, about  八0 tonnes of which are plastic. Only a small amount of plastic waste is incinerated, and most is buried directly in landfills or even discharged into rivers and seas.

Plastic waste is challenging to decompose and has a huge life span. — VNS
