  • Hanoi is implementing a plan to recycle construction waste into materials for public investment projects.
  • A company, Toan Cau Production Service JSC, is processing large volumes of construction debris daily.
  • The company is increasing night shifts and adding new crushing machines to meet demand.

Hanoi is set to recycle construction waste, transforming it into usable materials for public investment projects, including those funded by private and non-budgetary sources. This initiative aims to manage the growing volume of debris generated by the city's numerous development projects.

Để đáp ứng nhu cầu thực tế chúng tôi đã bổ sung nhiều máy nghiền, tăng thêm ca kíp để vận hành cả đêm, tiếp nhận tối đa lượng rác thải xây dựng chuyển về

— Bùi Công NguyênDeputy director of Toan Cau Production Service, explaining efforts to increase processing capacity.

Toan Cau Production Service Joint Stock Company is at the forefront of this effort, operating facilities in Yen So and Phuc Loi wards. Despite running crushing and recycling machinery at full capacity, the company is struggling to keep pace with the influx of construction waste. Currently, they receive 3,000-5,000 cubic meters (approximately 5,000-7,000 tons) of debris daily, but their system can only process about 900-1,000 tons per day.

Bui Cong Nguyen, deputy director of Toan Cau, stated that Hanoi is undertaking many urgent and key projects, such as Ring Road 1, Ring Road 2.5, and several bridges over the Red River. This surge in construction has led to a significant increase in construction waste compared to previous years. To address this, the company has added more crushing machines and extended working hours, including night shifts, to maximize intake.

Chúng tôi đang vận hành công nghệ di động nên không cần diện tích lớn mà có thể lắp đặt ngay tại công trường phá dỡ. Máy sẽ biến rác to cồng kềnh thành vật liệu có thể san lấp luôn, giảm cước vận chuyển, tiết kiện chi phí cho chủ đầu tư. Ngoài ra, nguồn vật liệu sau khi tái chế dồi dào sẽ được sử dụng vào công trình khác, không phải mang về nơi tập kết

— Bùi Công NguyênDescribing the proposed mobile crushing technology to process waste at demolition sites.

Beyond crushing, the company's sorting and screening process yields over 2,000 tons of material daily that can be used directly for land reclamation. Nguyen also mentioned that soil waste from flood control projects is being collected for processing. To further tackle the backlog, the company has proposed bringing mobile crushing technology directly to demolition sites. This would reduce transportation costs and allow immediate use of the processed material, minimizing the need for centralized collection points.

Sau khi lãnh đạo UBND TP Hà Nội có chỉ đạo, theo ông Quý, Sở Nông nghiệp và Môi trường đã có văn bản gửi Sở Xây dựng, UBND các xã phường và một số đơn vị có liên quan tập trung xử lý, tập kết đất đào, rác t
