Expected to start construction of Ben Tre waste treatment plant in September 2025

Regarding the implementation of the construction of the Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant (Huu Dinh Commune, Chau Thanh District), speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper over the phone on the afternoon of April 14, Mr. Nguyen Minh Canh - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ben Tre Province - said that the construction is expected to start in early September 2025.

Currently, the authorities of Ben Tre province are moving the amount of waste from the factory of Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant to Phu Hung landfill, expected to be completed by the end of April 2025. As for site clearance at the Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant project, the province is directing the implementation of site clearance, which must be completed by early May 2025 at the latest. After completing the above two issues, the locality will hand over the site to the investor to start the above project.

According to the investigation of Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, in 2015, the Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant project was licensed on an area of nearly 5 hectares in Huu Dinh commune (Chau Thanh district). The project has a total investment of 200 billion VND, with a capacity of 200 tons of waste/day.

In early 2016, this project started construction but the investor has repeatedly asked for an extension of construction but the project is still sluggish. After issuing "ultimatum" many times but not resolving it, the People's Committee of Ben Tre province has suspended operations.

During the factory closure, waste from Ben Tre City and Chau Thanh District, Ba Tri District is required to be transported to An Hiep landfill (Ba Tri District, Ben Tre Province).

On July 21, 2023, the People's Committee of Ben Tre province issued Official Letter No. 4373/UBND-TCDT on the unification of the implementation of the restructuring and investment plan for Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant. Accordingly, AMACAO Group Joint Stock Company received the transfer of all shares of Ben Tre Waste Treatment Joint Stock Company according to current law.

On September 14, 2023, the Working Group on the construction of Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant of Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 5637/KH-TCT on the implementation of the restructuring and investment plan for Ben Tre Waste Treatment Plant. After that, the investor completed the procedures for changing the legal representative and increased the charter capital to 680 billion VND ( Initial capital was 87 billion VND).
