#HCM, a city of 10 Mil ppl does not have a formal #recycling system, but generates nearly 10K tonnes of #municipal #SW per day. A ltd. group of emerging businesses operate to repurpose #plasticswaste into 'new' consumer items, #ISCs are not formally recognised by local govt., #landfill operations are expanded, but #WTE is an increasingly acceptable govt. option, and amended #environmentallaw is hampered by lack of compliance/enforcement. What's the solution? #SDG12, not.
