📋 Tender Overview
To find new solutions for plastic recycling in Vietnam, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is implementing a pilot project to turn plastic waste into useful wood products. Plastic waste is combined with raw materials to create products such as doors, floor panels and construction materials, interior and exterior decoration... The project Integrating climate change resilience and environmental protection to develop green cities is a cooperative activity between the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the Asian Development Bank (ADB), implemented in the period 2020-2025 to strengthen institutional and construction capacity. and improve protection policy environment, improving resilience to climate change. The project has 4 components, including: Building a national policy framework to protect the environment and withstand climate change; piloting sustainable urban development solutions in Ha Giang, Hue and Vinh Yen (old); Develop new financial solutions to prevent climate risks in Hue and strengthen and support integrated environmental planning and climate adaptation at the provincial/city level. To find new solutions for plastic recycling in Vietnam, the Project has piloted a technology model for producing composite plastic wood using the extrusion method. The pilot was implemented with advanced technology using recycled plastic granules combined with wood powder and suitable additives to produce composite plastic wood for projects. products such as doors, floor tiles and construction materials, interior and exterior decoration. According to Mr. Le Hoai Nam, Deputy Director of the Department of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the application of technology to produce composite plastic wood from recycled plastic pellets not only brings economic benefits but also contributes to solving the problem of plastic waste, in line with the trend of cleaner production and circular economy. Success in the pilot model is an important premise to encourage replication of this model in many localities, contributing to solving one of the most painful environmental problems today, which is waste. plastic, Mr. Nam said. The results show that the production process operates stably, the product meets physical and mechanical standards with a technical standard compliance rate of up to 95% and is positively received by the domestic market. The highlight is that all waste products and scraps generated are recovered, crushed and reused right at the factory, contributing to saving raw materials and reducing waste. On average, each month, the pilot plant used about 17.3 tons of recycled plastic, equivalent to more than 200 tons per year - a volume of plastic that was at risk of becoming difficult-to-treat waste in the environment, but is now recycled into useful materials. Combining wood powder and stone powder also helps significantly reduce the need for virgin plastic, thereby saving fossil resources and reducing carbon emissions. In the case that the line is operated at maximum capacity, the output of wood plastic composite is estimated at 120,000 meters per year, equivalent to recycling and using about 400 tons of plastic scrap.Thu CucSee moreSee moreSee moreSee moreSee more
