Binh Dinh: Boat-to-shore plastic waste collection proves effective

05/15/2024 08:40 | TTXVN

A boat-to-shore plastic waste collection model, implemented by the central province of Binh Thuan since late 2023, has so far attracted the participation of 200 fishing vessels, yielding a series of positive outcomes. Carried out as part of a 2022-2024 project on solid waste and fishery waste management in Quy Nhon city, funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), it required participating boat owners to sign a commitment to not discharge plastic waste into the sea but instead collect the waste generated on their vessels to bring ashore. According to statistics, more than four months after the launch of the model, the authorities have collected about one tonne of waste at the Quy Nhon fishing port, of which approximately 600 kg is recyclable. In the future, Binh Dinh will expand the model to other fishing ports in the area and increase the number of participating boats. VNA/Photo by courtesy
