Up to now, there are 20 industrial parks in operation with 248 enterprises in production and business. Of which, 04 FDI enterprises are relatively large in scale operating in the garment sector, the rest are small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the fields of mineral processing, forestry products, mechanical processing, metal recycling, plastic product recycling and manufacturing, and packaging manufacturing.

According to Mr. Thai Van Nong - Deputy Director of Department of Natural Resources and EnvironmentIn the school, among the 8 industrial parks with wastewater treatment systems, only Thap Hong Ky Industrial Park (Dien Chau) has a centralized treatment system, the remaining 7 industrial parks only have biological lake systems.

In addition, 4/20 industrial parks only have wastewater and rainwater separation systems, 7/20 industrial parks do not have a centralized wastewater treatment system. One industrial park is building a wastewater treatment system. Thus, compared to 2017, the rate of industrial parks with wastewater treatment systems has not changed, although the Provincial People's Committee has assigned the responsibility to the District People's Committee to implement.

For general solid waste, domestic solid waste, hazardous waste and basic industrial waste are collected by facilities and contracted with qualified enterprises for transportation and treatment. However, the collection and treatment of solid waste at industrial parks still has some limitations: Some facilities with small amounts of industrial waste still collect and treat domestic waste.
