Hanoi to classify craft villages to minimise pollution
Hanoi will conduct the investigation, statistic, inventory and classification of traditional craft villages in the city into eight groups to overcome and improve pollution.
The city's environment sector plans to conduct surveys from 2016-2017 and classify traditional craft villages into eight groups that process food, make handicraft products, recycle waste and slaughter animals and poultry.
The list includes traditional craft villages that specialise in processing farm produce in the districts of Hoai Duc, Thanh Oai and Tu Liem.
Based on the classification, the city will compile detailed programmes to minimise pollution caused by each type of traditional craft village.
According to the statistics from the capital Natural Resources and Environment Department, the city at present has up to 1,350 traditional craft villages.
In 2016, Hanoi's environment sector targets to finish a roadmap to remove polluters from residential areas by June.
In the period 2016 - 2020, the city will review environmental protection conditions for the craft villages which has been recognised.
