THE POLLUTED SITUATION AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS TO MINIMIZE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC WASTE IN QUAN TRIEU WARD - THAI NGUYEN CITY - THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE, VIETNAM
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2022, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The survey results show that: In Quan Trieu ward, the amount of disposable plastic waste accounts for about 35-40% of the total daily-life waste and tends to increase. The rapid plastic waste classification includes plastic bags, styrofoam boxes, plastic bottles, and other plastic products. There are two leading causes of this situation: People's awareness is not high, and the management of single-use plastic wastes is fragile. The other issue is no appropriate treatment mechanism. Most local people know and understand this issue, but they do not have the habit of separating wastes at sources and limiting single-use plastic waste. Single-use plastic waste management is a challenge for local environmental protection. This research proposes two solutions to reduce single-use plastic waste for two groups: local people and managers and local authorities. The most important solution is building models such as the model neighborhood in environmental protection, business start-up models that do not use disposable plastic waste, and collection and recycling of plastic waste.
