In Hoa Binh province, 11 traditional craft villages with more than 400 small-scaled production households have put in place a clean and green production model, establishing new standards for sustainable development. Waste collection sites and wastewater treatment facilities have been meticulously managed by local residents.
Chieng Chau commune in Mai Chau district has paid due attention to building
green craft villages towards sustainable development.
Before
the concept of "green craft villages" emerged, many craft zones in
the province suffered from pollution caused by smoke, dust, chemical odours,
and waste from workshop operations. The conflict between economic development
and environmental protection had been a difficult puzzle to solve for years in
traditional craft villages.
In
recent years, many rural areas have stopped waste burning. Stone processing
workshops now spray materials with water before cutting to prevent dust, and
debris is collected rather than dumped into streams. Meanwhile, brick kilns that
once released thick smoke have been upgraded, with many facilities switching
entirely to non-fired brick production
Raising
public awareness is the key to environmental protection. In 2020-2022, the
province organised more than 180 workshops and training sessions on
environmental protection, along with more than 100 drives for collection of
pesticide packaging, attracting over 4,000 participants.
Furthermore,
environmental protection messaging has been integrated into the spiritual and
cultural life of communities through four theatrical exchanges, drawing
competitions, contests, and many more.
Rather
than top-down directives, local citizens have been empowered through grassroots
initiatives like "residential areas of self-managed environmental protection".
Village-based teams now enforce regular cleaning schedules, while small
workshops have invested in wastewater treatment systems, dust barriers, and
proper safety equipment.
Many
of Hoa Binh's craft villages now serve as models for sustainable production. In
Tan My commune, once severely polluted, residents have implemented biogas
systems, waste separation, and strategic greenery. These efforts have
revitalised formerly contaminated rice fields and restored clean air.
