Updating trends and new requirements for sustainable development

In the context where requirements for greenhouse gas emission reduction, efficient resource use, ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance), Net Zero, and circular economy are increasingly becoming key criteria for business operations, the workshop was organized to help enterprises stay updated on new regulations, green development trends, and practical solutions to enhance their competitiveness.

This is also one of the activities contributing to the transition roadmap of the Amata IP toward an eco-IP model, in line with the Government’s sustainable development policy and Vietnam’s Green Growth strategy.

Practical topics tailored for businesses

The workshop program featured a range of in-depth content presented by partner organizations and leading industry experts.

Experts provided a wealth of in-depth and practical knowledge for businesses

Key topics included:

  • Roadmap for transforming existing IP into green and eco-IPs in Dong Nai;
  • Co-processing technology and environmentally friendly waste treatment solutions;
  • New regulations on greenhouse gas emission reduction, ozone layer protection, and refrigerant management;
  • Energy management and chiller system optimization in enterprises;
  • Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) – solutions for enhancing production capacity and sustainable development.

Through presentations by representatives from INSEE Vietnam, MZ VINA, Long Khang Engineering, and the Vietnam Cleaner Production Center Co. Ltd. (VNCPC), enterprises gained access to practical experience and proven solutions from implementations in industrial parks and manufacturing facilities.

RECP – The key to improving production efficiency and reducing emissions

At the workshop, VNCPC’s representative delivered a session on “RECP: The key to enhancing production capacity and sustainable development.” The content focused on challenges that enterprises are currently facing, including rising energy costs, increasing pressure to comply with stricter environmental regulations, and market demands for green products.

Mr. Dinh Manh Thang, senior expert from VNCPC, presenting RECP approaches

Expert Dinh Manh Thang introduced the RECP approach as a comprehensive preventive strategy aimed at improving the efficiency of raw material, water, and energy use; reducing waste generation; and minimizing environmental impacts at the source. RECP not only helps enterprises reduce production costs but also enhances their competitiveness, improves corporate image, and meets future sustainable development requirements.

In addition, real-world examples of energy savings, compressed air loss reduction, production system optimization, efficient water use, and industrial symbiosis were shared to help enterprises better visualize opportunities for improvement that can be applied directly at their facilities.

Lively discussions and sharing of practical experience

One of the highlights of the program was the direct Q&A session between enterprises and experts. Many questions relating to energy management, greenhouse gas inventory, water conservation, new legal requirements, and emission reduction solutions were discussed actively.

Business representatives raised numerous questions for the experts

Through practical exchanges, enterprises gained additional information, experience, and direction to gradually implement activities aimed at improving resource efficiency, reducing emissions, and enhancing production performance at their own facilities.

Implementation of eco-industrial parks in Vietnam according to the approach from the Global Eco-Industrial Park Program – New opportunities for businesses

/in /by

On the afternoon of July 15, in Hanoi, an online workshop was held to introduce the project “Implementation of eco-industrial parks in Vietnam according to the approach from the Global Eco-Industrial Park Program”.

This is a project funded by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in developing and transitioning countries.

The project is aligned with the goals of the Global Eco-Industrial Park Program (GEIPP), demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of eco-industrial approaches in improving resource efficiency and economic efficiency, environment, and society at enterprises, thereby contributing to the sustainable and comprehensive industrial development in Vietnam.

The conference was held online but has attracted many participants from enterprises.

In Vietnam, the project is implemented by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) in collaboration with UNIDO during the period from 2020 to 2023. The main beneficiaries of the project include Amata Industrial Park (Dong Nai), Dinh Vu Industrial Park (Deep C – Hai Phong), Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park (HCMC). In addition, the project continues to support the development of industrial symbiosis (IS) opportunities at the enterprise and industrial levesl that were identified from the previous phase of the project.

To implement the project, Vietnam Cleaner Production Center Co. Ltd (VNCPC – under BK Holdings – Hanoi University of Science and Technology) and Sofies (Switzerland) were selected to implement the component ” Provision of Services to identify resource efficiency and industrial symbiosis interventions, and to provide related training in Deep C (Hai Phong) and Amata (Dong Nai) industrial parks in Vietnam “. The experience in these industrial zones will be a model to replicate and develop the eco-industrial park model all over the country.

What benefits do enterprises get from participating in the project?

According to Ms. Vuong Thi Minh Hieu – Department of Management of Economic Zones (MPI), Deputy Director of the project: In the process of developing industrial zones, environmental impacts cannot be avoided.

Agreeing with the above opinion, Mr. Dinh Manh Thang – a senior expert on efficient use of resources and cleaner production of VNCPC said: According to calculations, it takes 2 piles of earth to meet the needs the current needs of more than 7 billion people. Therefore, the development of eco-industrial parks is an indispensable requirement for economic development to be less dependent on resources, thereby reducing pressure on the environment…

“There are many financial mechanisms for cleaner production and industrial activities from domestic banks such as BIDV, Agribank, Vietcombank, Sacombank, etc. through loans and credit guarantees. In addition, there are financial mechanisms from foreign banks/organizations, and support programs on capacity building and technology implemented by domestic and foreign organizations”, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tinh – Sen 26 Trading Consulting Co., Ltd. shared.

Mr. Le Xuan Thinh, Director of VNCPC – the consulting unit said: The project will focus on training on resource efficiency and cleaner production (RECP), IS and knowledge about ecological industrial zones; Quick assessment of RECP and guidance to identify wastes in the production process, improvement opportunities to optimize profits, reduce production costs, save raw materials, energy, water…; Evaluating the feasibility and building industrial infrastructure solutions towards the eco-industrial park model; Support access to financial resources to implement IS solutions.

On July 27-28, VNCPC will organize a 2-day training program to improve the capacity of the RECP and IS for enterprises in Deep C Industrial Park (Hai Phong). However, enterprises outside DeepC can still participate in workshops.
