Sorting waste into 2 types is difficult, 3 types is even more difficult

Theo Luat Bao ve moi truong 2020 va Nghi dinh 45/2022 co hieu luc tu ngay 1.1.2025, nguoi dan phai phan loai rac tai nguon (PLRTN) thanh 3 nhom: Rac tai su dung, tai che; rac thuc pham; rac sinh hoat khac.

According to the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and Decree 45/2022 effective from January 1, 2025, people must classify waste at source into 3 groups: Reusable and recyclable waste; food waste; other household waste.

Tuy nhien, hien nay, van con nhieu bat cap de thuc hien theo quy dinh moi. Dac biet la thieu co so ha tang va y thuc cua nguoi dan.

However, at present, there are still many shortcomings in implementing the new regulations, especially the lack of infrastructure and awareness of the people. According to many people, classifying waste into 3 types is still difficult because in reality, so far, few people have been able to classify waste into 2 types.

Du da duoc thi diem va dua vao su dung tu cuoi nam 2019, he thong thung rac cong nghe duoc ky vong la mot giai phap nham nang cao nhan thuc nguoi dan trong viec phan loai rac thai. Tuy nhien, sau 5 nam, khi da ap dung phan loai rac theo quy dinh moi (phan loai rac thanh 3 loai), nhung thung rac cong nghe nay cung chua phat huy het hieu qua.

Although it was piloted and put into use since the end of 2019, the technology trash bin system is expected to be a solution to raise people's awareness of waste classification. However, after 5 years, when applying waste classification according to new regulations (classifying waste into 3 types), these technology trash bins have not yet fully demonstrated their effectiveness.

Ngoai rac thai sinh hoat, nhung rac thai cong kenh nhu ban, tu bi vat ngay ben canh thung rac cong nghe.

In addition to household waste, bulky waste such as tables and cabinets are also thrown right next to the technological trash bin.

Despite a list of suitable types of trash to put in the "recyclable trash" bin, a trash bin on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street (Dong Da, Hanoi) is still filled with mixed, unsorted trash bags.

Cach do khong xa, mot thung rac cong nghe tren duong Nguyen Chi Thanh cung bi vut day rac thai ben ngoai. Anh Quoc Hung (Dong Da, Ha Noi) to ra ngan ngam voi tinh trang nay boi thung rac phan loai “co cung nhu khong“.

Not far away, a technology trash bin on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street was also filled with trash outside. Mr. Quoc Hung (Dong Da, Hanoi) expressed his disappointment with this situation because the classified trash bin was “as good as non-existent”.

Mot thung rac tren duong Lieu Giai (Ba Dinh, Ha Noi) bi hong, mat kha nang chu rac.

The trash bin on Lieu Giai Street (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) only has a frame left, losing its ability to hold trash, so the trash bags can only be left outside.

Tren khu vuc Ho Tay (Tay Ho, Ha Noi) nhieu thung rac cung bi hong, lam mat my quan do thi.

In the West Lake area (Tay Ho, Hanoi), many trash bins are also broken, spoiling the urban beauty.

Co nhung thung rac trong tinh trang “ben co ben khong“, co nap thi khong ruot dung rac.

There are trash cans that are "one side has one side and one side has no trash inside", the bin has a lid but no trash can inside.

Ngoai viec dam bao co so vat chat, y thuc cua nguoi dan la mot yeu to rat quan trong de quyet dinh viec thanh, bai cua cac quy dinh, thi diem phan loai rac thai. Ghi nhan tai mot diem thu gom chat thai ran tren dia ban quan Ba Dinh, thay vi de rac cong kenh vao dung noi chua rac, nguoi dan da bo no ngay ben ngoai bien tiep nhan rac.

In addition to ensuring infrastructure, people's awareness is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of regulations and pilot waste classification. At a solid waste collection point in Ba Dinh district, instead of putting bulky waste in the right place, people left it right outside the garbage receiving sign.

From January 1, 2025, individuals and households must classify household solid waste into three groups: recyclable, food and other, or they will be fined from VND500,000 to VND1 million.
