RoK eyes waste treatment projects in Can Tho

During a working session with Vice Secretary of the municipal Can Tho Party Committee Pham Gia Tuc on October 10,  Gun Young Jung said his nation has new cutting edge and eco-friendly waste treatment technology suitable with the economic development orientation and climate change adaptation in the Mekong Delta.

Waste will be recycled and reused or changed into energy to serve daily activities, he said.

Tuc said he hopes Can Tho will join hand with the KITEC in this field, saying the city discharges 700 tonnes of waste on a day while the waste treatment system could handle only 400 tonnes per day.

Can Tho has available 15 hectares of land for building waste treatment plants and it is willing to welcome investors using modern and environmentally friendly technologies, Tuc said while asking the RoK to expand investment in medical and solid waste treatment.

He also pledged local authorities's possible support in terms of administrative procedures, tax incentives and land use.
