The northern province of Phu Tho aims to apply modern waste treatmenttechnologies in urban and rural zones in a bid to improve the quality ofliving conditions and protect the environment.
By the end of this year, the locality targets to have all new localproduction facilities and hospitals equipped with clean water and wastetreatment technologies.
Domestic and industrialwaste is expected to be classified in 30 percent of local households and70 percent of businesses while industrial zones deploy waste treatmentsystems that meet environmental requirements.
Rain water and domestic waste water sewage facilities will also beupgraded in urban areas and industrial clusters and adequate supply ofclean water will be ensured for all urban residents and almost all ruralareas.
Efforts will also be made to restorelocal mining areas and develop and protect forests, ensuring forestcoverage exceeds 50 percent.
Publicity campaignswill be organised to raise community awareness of environmentalprotection in residential and industrial areas and in trade villages.
Management and supervision have been strengthenedto restrict the import and use of old vehicles and machines whilemobilising domestic and international resources to protecting theenvironment.

The province has deployed a number of cooperatives, businesses and projects to address local pollution hotspots.
Medical waste from local hospitals has also been collected,classified and treated safely at the facilities, Doanh added.
