Currently, these 122 factories and enterprises are preparing to install self-monitoring equipment and waste management data systems in compliance with Cambodian laws.

The Ministry of Environment shared this information on October 23, 2024.

According to the Ministry of Environment, five factories have already been equipped with and are operating automatic control equipment and a liquid waste data management system. Additionally, 10 other factories among the 122 have contracted for these installations and are being equipped.

His Excellency Khvay Atiya, Spokesman for the Ministry of Environment, noted that the equipped factories include laundry facilities and semi-finished product factories located in special economic zones, primarily in Svay Rieng province, as well as Kandal, Battambang, and Phnom Penh.

The Ministry of Environment emphasizes that the installation of self-monitoring equipment and a data management system for liquid waste discharge in factories and enterprises provides several benefits:

1. It allows for remote monitoring of the liquid waste treatment process and ensures the quality of the discharged liquid without needing on-site inspections by officials.
2. It effectively prevents the discharge of liquid waste from factories that exceed established standards and addresses issues such as leaks or unauthorized disposal.
3. The data on quantity and pollution levels provided by this system is scientifically accurate and acceptable to all stakeholders.
4. Based on the data provided, the Ministry can take timely and effective measures to prevent pollution by notifying or ordering factories to address deficiencies or temporarily halt the release of harmful liquid waste.
