| Abstract | According to decision no. 491/QD-TTg signed in 2018 by the Vietnamese Prime Minister approving adjustments to the national strategy for the general management of solid waste until 2025 with a vision toward 2050, Vietnam has committed itself to move toward collecting, transporting, and treating 100% of non-household waste by 2025 and 85% of waste discharged by households by 2025. This paper aims to determine which is the best sustainable solid waste management system out of those that have been formulated by World Bank experts for Hanoi until 2030 for implementing the national strategy. The paper compares four distinct solid waste management enhancement alternatives, namely, "Improving the current system for waste collection and transportation"; "Reducing, reusing, and recycling waste at source"; "Mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) plants for classifying, composting, and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for the cement industry"; and "MBT plants for classifying, composting, and RDF for waste-to-energy/incineration plants". The comparison was made using an analytic hierarchy process. As a result, the research indicated that "MBT plants for classifying, composting, and RDF for waste-to-energy/incineration plants" has the highest ranking in terms of a sustainable solution for the municipal solid waste management system. Therefore, it should be applied for managing the current situation in Hanoi. At the same time, the sustainable development of the system must seek to decrease the waste-to-energy ratio continuously and significantly through the planned reuse of materials that can be recycled to industry. According to the literature, in major cities in Asia and Africa, development programs are moving toward waste-to-energy solutions. The EU's circular innovation programs and action plan may be in the opposite direction to this trend. |
