If done properly, a circular economy may help save US$ 四. 五 trillion by  二0 三0 for the world and  六00 billion euros ($ 六 六 一 billion) for Europe, according to Nam.

He urged the Vietnamese Government to quickly complete the necessary legal framework and promote the role and responsibility of producers and consumers.

The recycling industry must be developed further while a database must be set up with the support from the Industry  四.0, he added.

Deputy Minister of MoNRE Vũ Tuấn Nhân, added: “After a long time of depending on and spending natural resources, Việt Nam has made significant improvements in its socio-economic conditions.

“However, the country has had to trade off economic growth for environmental change and pollution.

“Transforming the current economic model to the circular economy is a suitable action that Việt Nam is striving for so that it achieves the sustainable development goals.”

Swedish Ambassador Ann Mawe said a circular economy would benefit both consumers and businesses.

She said: “Companies that are moving in this direction have proved that recycling used products can be more cost effective than creating them from scratch.

“Production costs are reduced, so the sale price is also lowered, thereby benefiting the consumers. I hope this is inspiring for Vietnamese businesses.”

Private firms should be called for deeper participation in the development of the circular economy, the two officials stressed.

Featuring at the workshop were Sa Mạc Xanh (Green Desert) Co Ltd and An Phát Holdings that make green, environmentally-friendly products.

Sa Mạc Xanh (Green Desert) Co Ltd is running a waste furnace in the northern province of Hưng Yên, which burns waste disposed from households, industrial units and livestock to generate electricity and provide carbon organic products for farms.

The company project manager Lê Bích Ngọc told Việt Nam News they were still encountering legal and financial issues before rolling out the model across the country.

In addition, the Government should keep educating people and the business co妹妹unity about the benefits of green technologies so that the circular economy could further develop, she said.

“We need higher support from the Government and ministries,” Ngọc said. “We need an open environment for businesses so that they are able to develop their products and understand the importance of the circular economy.” — VNS
