Cambodia’s environment minister led a delegation to a waste-to-energy plant in China and discussed cooperation on waste recovery and clean-energy use.

To deepen China–Cambodia cooperation on green development, Cambodian Environment Minister Eang Sophalleth recently led a delegation to Huzhou in China’s Zhejiang Province. They visited the Nantaihu environmental energy waste-to-power plant operated by Wangneng Environment Co., Ltd. and held detailed discussions on cooperation in waste resource recovery and clean energy.
The project belongs to the Mizuda Group and uses artificial-intelligence monitoring and automated operations to efficiently convert municipal household waste into electricity, delivering emissions-reduction and environmental benefits. After the visit, Eang Sophalleth said China’s experience in waste-to-energy treatment and the circular economy offered lessons for Cambodia. He encouraged the Wangneng group to invest in waste treatment and recycling projects in Cambodia and jointly advance modern waste management and resource-recovery industries.
The visit also aligns with Cambodia’s Circular Strategy on Environment 2023–2028. Led by Prime Minister Hun Manet, the strategy aims to improve waste and plastic management comprehensively by combining policy, technology and social action. Waste management is reportedly one of the six priority sectors in Cambodia’s third nationally determined contribution, which sets a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2035.
The minister also said more than 14 million Cambodians had joined the nationwide clean-up campaign, actively sorting waste, reducing plastic-bag use and monitoring community environments to make a practical contribution to environmental improvements.
At the Belt and Road Green Innovation Conference 2025, Eang Sophalleth further said Cambodia was making sustainable development its focus and striving to become a green, clean and carbon-neutral country by 2050. The ministry would continue strengthening environmental impact assessment, advancing a circular economy, encouraging industry to reuse waste, and improving landfill and resource-recovery systems.
China’s leading technologies in waste-to-energy, plastics recycling and modern waste management systems provide Cambodia with important lessons and opportunities for cooperation. The visit is seen as an important step in deepening practical cooperation between the two countries on green energy and environmental governance.
