Nowadays, the waste disposal problem is one of the most difficult problems for most of countries all over the world. There are many methods recommended to solve this problem, of which zero waste and landfilling are regarded as two efficient methods that have been favoured by quite a few government.

Zero waste and landfilling have some common characteristics. They are both considered as acceptable waste disposal methods which can be applied in the world. They play important roles in preventing people from the pollution caused by household rubbish. Zero waste help people reuse as much waste as possible while well-designed landfills, additionally install extra protective features like a drainage system can get rid of all waste.

However, there are many basic differences between these two methods. Firstly, in terms of saving material, obviously zero waste is the best way. Collins (2002) noted that British people were able to recycle more than 50% of the waste by following zero waste methods. Nonetheless, landfilling prevails against zero waste in terms of financial matters. It is firmly believed that using landfilling method can help developing countries save a lot of money. While most of such developing countries have still concentrated on economic growth, they don’t have enough funds to cover the waste disposal problems. And, also another advantage of landfilling compared with zero waste is about technique. In terms of technological application, landfilling is much simpler to apply. There is wide variety of waste suitable for landfills. Furthermore, as long as people don’t open burn and do pretty steady maintenance, they won’t have to come up against any emergency situations. Above all, a landfill is clearly a more familiar, “low-tech” disposal method.

From all analyses above, it is undoubtedly true that landfilling method is the most expedient method to solve the waste disposal problem in Vietnam. The country is not prosperous enough to follow modern and luxurious methods like zerowaste. Moreover, a very large unused of landfill capacity has still remained in some areas. Thus, landfilling can be the best, compared with other disposal options.

In summary, it is understood that two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For a country, to choose which method is to consider carefully both its finance and its other conditions to find out whether the method is suitable or not.
