VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has drafted a new
circular regulating types of waste that can be imported to Viet Nam for
treatment and disposal.
The draft circular, which aims to prevent imports
of hazardous waste, is based on the amendment of the Ministry's Decision 12
issued in 2006.
The updated list included 37 types of waste that
can be imported to Viet Nam. The circular, which was made public last month for
public comment, also lists 43 types of waste that can be collected at border
economic zones, including waste paper, plastics, fabrics and scrap metal that
can be reused for production.
In addition, waste must be cleaned to ensure
hazardous and prohibited chemicals have been removed. Waste must also be
categorised before it is imported to ensure compliance with international
standards.
Nguyen Hoang Duc from the Environment
Administration's Department of Pollution Control said the circular would
encourage enterprises in border economic zones to recycle garbage created
during the manufacturing process, which would help save resources while
reducing environmental pollution.
Dozens of tonnes of waste are imported into Viet
Nam each day.
