Provinces in Vietnam's Mekong Delta struggle with waste management

Provinces in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta are seemingly trapped against a rock and a hard place, with waste piling up across the region and waste treatment plants unable to remedy the situation as they sit idle due to sanctions for causing pollution themselves. The plant later failed to meet waste treatment standards, leaving 100,000 metric tons of waste unburied and causing environmental pollution. Vinh Long Province had a waste treatment plant meeting European standards that was able to treat 200-300 metric tons of waste per day.
