EPR – a motive for Vietnam’s circular economic development: Norwegian diplomat
The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is among the solutions that will help Vietnam realise its ambition of boosting the circular economy and green transition, according to Deputy Head of Mission at the Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam Mette Moglestue.
Among the first Southeast Asian countries applying the tool, Vietnam requires producers and importers of electronic products, lubricants and various types of packaging to recycle or pay fees to support waste recycling activities from January 1, 2024. Meanwhile, they are required to implement recycling from January 1, 2025, and manufacturers and importers of transportation vehicles from January 1, 2027.
