Piloting Japanese-style waste burial model in Hanoi

Japan has completed construction of a pilot model of waste burial compartments according to Fukuoka aerobic burial technology in Hanoi.

The shortage of waste treatment areas is becoming a serious problem of Hanoi. Along with that, there are issues on sanitation and public sanitation such as bad smell and waste water due to improper treatment method, garbage dumping .

According to the study of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), waste is constantly increasing year by year in terms of both quantity and quality due to increasing population in the capital and rapid economic growth.

In this situation, JICA Vietnam has cooperated with Hanoi leaders to build a pilot model of waste burial compartments according to Fukuoka aerobic burial technology in Xuan Son commune (Tay Son, Hanoi).

This is a waste treatment method that enhances the decomposition of waste by installing straws at the bottom of the landfill and activating soil microorganisms. Garbage will be decomposed by semi-aerobic, which makes the layers of garbage sink lower than traditional burial sites (anaerobic) at the same time.

As a result, the burial time of the landfill will be longer. In addition, compared to the completely open burial method (only dumping garbage into pits and no treatment), the Japanese side affirmed that the Fukuoka method will help landfills almost without the typical odor of the yards. trash.

"The experience gained through the Project will be widely disseminated in other provinces and cities in accordance with the characteristics, conditions and needs of the city," JICA said.
