Vietnam is refining its Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies by shifting from a financial contribution approach to requiring producers and importers to directly manage waste collection and recycling. The amendment to the Law on Environmental Protection aims to incentivize market-based circular economy solutions, reduce landfill waste substantially by 2030, and enhance transparency and operational efficiency in waste management.

Vietnam's shift to making producers directly responsible for recycling opens a clear market opportunity for founders building recycling and circular economy services. You need to engage regulators and investors now as this policy will reshape waste management and product lifecycle responsibilities.
