Swiss Contribution
IDE-E and its Swiss partners have many years of experience in development cooperation, renewable energy and spatial planning, as well as waste management and recycling.
Description
The rise of Vietnamese land-based marine litter is due to a combination of rising consumption and a lack of local capacity to effectively deal with steadily increasing amounts of litter.
The “Phu Yen for Zero Waste” Project is aimed to support the provincial efforts to drastically reduce and effectively manage solid waste. More specifically, its goal is to pave the way for the reduction and progressive elimination of single-use plastics in Phu Yen, to improve the cost-effectiveness, coverage and quality of waste collection in Tuy Hoa City, and to develop viable recycling solutions, including composting and animal feed production from organic waste.
Results
In order to set solid basis for the launch of the project, the partners have been dealing with various administrative and technical challenges with local actors, resulting in delays for the start of the activities in Vietnam.
