Increased awareness The Hanoi Urban Environment Limited Company (URENCO) is cooperating with related departments and sectors to continue implementing a program to recover recyclable waste and batteries, and has received positive support from the public. The program aims to raise awareness and prompt action on waste classification at the source, recycling and reuse of waste, minimizing impacts on the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Originally scheduled to begin operation in 2017, the plant in Viet Hung Commune in the outlying district of Dong Anh now has weeds covering many parts of the incinerator. Thanh Quang Investment JSC planned to build it at a cost of more than VND768 billion ($33.86 million) using plasma arc gasification (PAG), a technology that uses a combination of electricity and high temperatures to turn waste into usable by-products without combustion. It helps reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills while also generating electricity.

If calculated according to the history of thousands of years, then a hundred occupations’ is not enough, the right number but much higher.” A mechanical repair shop in Hanoi in the 2000s. File Photo Indeed, Hanoi is the place where many odd jobs have been practiced, from ancient times to the present. There are trades that have existed for hundreds of years while many others have completely disappeared.
