| Title | Lesson for Vietnam from developed countries in Asia in solid waste segregation, collection and transportation policies |
| Summary | Solid waste management, including solid waste management practices (technology, infrastructure, and finance), is a severe issue in low-income and developing countries (Navarro, 2019). In these countries, 90% of the waste is often disposed of in landfills or treatment plants and burned openly without supplemental facilities (World Bank, 2019). The implementation of a proper solid waste sorting, collection, and transportation is one of the effective methods to tackle this issue. However, solid waste segregation, collection, and transportation are overshadowed in most literature regarding solid waste management. That is why the author would like to look at these first phases in the solid waste management process. The author also chose Vietnam as a case study and applied the theory of transfer developed by Dolowitz to test the policy models in two developed countries in Asia, South Korea, and Japan, then to figure out policies on solid waste segregation, collection, and transportation that could be used to address this issue in Vietnam. Finally, the findings suggest some policy recommendations for policymakers, especially competent authorities governing solid waste management regulations in Vietnam. |
