Developing a modern, standard waste collection, recycling and treatment system is key requirement to effectively implementing the EPR tool, helping businesses save on the cost.
The Environmental Protection Law 2020 introduces a new perspective on solid waste management as polluter-pays principle, reflected in policy instruments such as extended producer responsibility (EPR), waste charge by volume.
Coca-Cola Vietnam expects to eliminate 2,000 tonnes of new plastic in Vietnam annually by introducing bottles made from 100 per cent recycled PET plastic.
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) and carbon credits are market-based environmental protection tools that put financial returns as the engine for sustainable change.
