The circular economy development achieves the
consensus of the international community, is seen as a means to harmoniously
address the relationship between economic growth and development and
environmental protection, and serves as a pathway towards a green economy and
sustainable development. Many countries and regions have issued or are in the
process of developing strategies, plans, and visions, establishing legal
frameworks to promote the circular economy implementation in accordance with
the characteristics and conditions of each country or region. CE framework for
the ASEAN Economic Community was approved in 2021 with an aim of making ASEAN a
center for innovation and mobilizing investment for CE development, high
competitiveness, economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and social equity.
In the recent period, Vietnam has achieved many
important accomplishments in socio-economic development, with the
transformation of the growth model linked to the restructuring of the economy
towards green growth and sustainable development yielding many positive
results. Climate change response, resource management and environmental
protection are initially placed at the epicenter of development decisions in
order to achieve better uniformity, effectiveness and proactivity. The
resources are planned, managed, exploited and used rationally, economically,
effectively, and sustainably. The production and consumption in the economy
show positive signals, with several initiatives and models for sustainable
production and consumption, models for effectively using resources, recycling
and reusing waste being established, popularized, and developed. The
environmental protection is emphasized and innovated strongly with a consistent
policy of not sacrificing the environment for mere economic growth and gradually
shifting from a reactive response to proactive prevention, control, and
restoration. However, the management of resources is still limited; the
efficiency of resource exploitation and utilization is low compared to the
world and the region; the level of waste and wastewater generation continues to
increase; sorting, collecting, recycling, reusing and treating waste face many
difficulties; pollution and environmental degradation are still ongoing issues.
CE development in Vietnam has early received the attention,
orientation, and unified direction of the CPV and the State in many documents
such as: The strategy for socio-economic development for the 10 years from 2021
to 2030 and many relevant resolutions promulgated by the central government on
energy, industrialization, modernization, urbanization, agriculture, rural
areas, farmers, sustainable development of socio-economic regions, resource
management, environmental protection, and climate change response. Schemes for
CE development of Vietnam have been issued, and CE is gradually being
integrated into the development strategies, programs, schemes, planning and
plans of various sectors, fields, and local areas. Environmental protection
laws have institutionalized the CE, put forward regulations on criteria,
measures, responsibility and mechanisms for promoting CE. In reality, certain
sectors, fields, local areas, enterprises and cooperatives have taken the
initiative to actively apply measures for CE implementation in their
management, production, business, and service provision. However, alongside the
achieved results, CE development still faces many limitations, is spontaneous,
lacks synchronization, and fails to meet the requirements set in the context of
national resource capacity being limited, deteriorating and being depleted; raw
materials, fuels, and materials are becoming increasingly scarce; waste
generation is on the rise; the environment is deteriorating, biodiversity is
declining, and the impacts of climate change continue to escalate.
The National Action Plan for CE development by 2035
specifies the roadmap for implementing CE in accordance with the 2020
Environmental Protection Law, Decree No. 08/2022/ND-CP dated January 10, 2022
of the Government elaborating certain articles of the Environmental Protection
Law (hereinafter referred to as “Decree No. 08/2022/ND-CP”), and the guidelines
and policies of the CPV and State on CE development with perspectives,
objectives, tasks, solutions, and prioritized sectors and fields for
implementing CE nationwide; it serves as a basis for ministries, central

within their assigned functions, tasks, scope and areas of management.
