Waste that can no longer be ignored
Laos, located between Thailand and Vietnam, is facing a rapidly growing volume of waste. This is a nationwide issue affecting both urban and rural areas. Landfill capacities are insufficient, and the country lacks the necessary data and technical background to address the situation systematically.
This is why international support is essential. Both local authorities and the public are aware of the problem, but they need expertise and experience to establish a sustainable waste management system.
