Vietnam – a country of 95 million – is facing the challenge of trying to keep pace with increasing environmental pollution associated with rapid urbanization, especially in the larger cities. Over the past 20 years, the Government of Vietnam has made considerable efforts to develop urban sanitation policies, legislations, and regulations, and to invest in urban sanitation including waste water treatment systems.
With more than 60% of the population connected to a sewage network but only 10% of that waste water being treated, the country offers tremendous growth opportunities for Organica in the coming years.
Organica Water has over two decades of experience in the waste water treatment industry and 118 plants built or under construction worldwide. The company’s mission is to provide products and services which enable customers around the world world to build and operate space and energy-efficient biological waste water treatment plants that blend harmoniously into urban and residential population centers, ultimately lowering infrastructure costs and facilitating reuse and recycling of treated waste water.

The role of nanoplastic in marine pollution is greater than assumed
Nanoplastic particles are less than one micrometre in size, but by mass, their share in marine pollution is comparable to that of microplastic. This is the result of a study conducted by scientists from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
