    Through discussion, Mr. Le Dinh Trong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Friendly Green Environment Joint Stock Company - the unit operating the plant, said that from July 2025 to present, the unit has not been paid for waste treatment costs. The reason is that the Bao Loc Construction Investment Project Management Board and the Company have not yet agreed on a unit price for waste treatment. Due to many months of not being paid for waste treatment costs, the Company has no funds to pay wages to employees.
