JICA and the Hanoi People’s Committee on October 5 signed the Records of Discussion on supporting the 3R (reduce-reuse-recycle) initiative for a sound material-cycle society in Hanoi.

The project aims to promote citizens’ practice of separating domestic waste at its source into organic and inorganic waste for environment companies to collect. Under the project, various means such as mass media and community meetings will be employed to raise Hanoians’ awareness of economic and environmental benefits from this practice.

The three-year project will start in November this year.
