E-waste legal framework in Vietnam (1)
• Vietnam does not have specific regulations on e-waste management. Instead, all e-waste are managed under hazardous waste (HW) legal framework
• Circular 23/2006/QD-BTN&MT on issuing the list of hazardous waste (2 kinds): – Wastes that are always HW – Wastes that are suspicious for HW: Need to
analyze the concentration to identify • National Technical Standards for Hazardous
Waste thresholds QCVN 07: 2009/BTNMT: used to identify that wastes that are suspicious for HW.

E-waste legal framework in Vietnam (2)
• Circular 12/2006/QD-BTNMT of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) requires: – Generators of HW must register with provincial
Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE) and must transfer waste to licensed collectors, transporters, and treatment facility operators
– HW collectors, transporters, and treatment facility operators (including recyclers) must apply for professional license. • Within one province: license issued by DONRE
• Inter-provinces: license issued by MONRE

E-waste legal framework in Vietnam (3)
• Vietnam is drafting a Decision to be issued by Prime Minister which requires the manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) to have responsibility on collection of their products
![Page 6: INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAMgec.jp/gec/en/Activities/ietc/fy2011/e-waste/Vietnam.pdf · INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAM Vietnam Environment Administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070607/5aaa1b157f8b9a90188dac12/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
E-waste legal framework in Vietnam (3)
• The draft decision of the Prime Minister's regulations on the collection and disposal of discarded products have been thoroughly understand the following guidelines:
- Avoid overlap, conflict with the current regulations on waste management;
- Collection of waste products is the responsibility of manufacturers and importers
- There should be a roadmap for manufacturers and importers made responsible for collection and treatment discarded products.
- Requires the participation of organizations and individuals related to action for collection discarded products efficiently.
• This decision is expected to be issued at the end of this year

Current Management systems Enforcement of regulation is strengthened by
establishment of Environment Police in 2006 and Environment Inspectorate under Vietnam Environment
Administration in 2008

Current Management systems (2)
• Inspections made by MONRE, DONRE (regularlly) and Environment Police (irregularlly) makes sure e-waste generators, collectors, transporters, and treatment facility operators comply with the regulation. If not, penalty will be made.
![Page 9: INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAMgec.jp/gec/en/Activities/ietc/fy2011/e-waste/Vietnam.pdf · INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAM Vietnam Environment Administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070607/5aaa1b157f8b9a90188dac12/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Actual barriers to the effective
implementation of regulations • Small generators and household don’t
register for their e-waste and transfer their waste to un-licensed collectors and transporters (get higher payment)
• Some licensed transporters still break the regulations: discard HW to environment without treatment (MONRE considers to stop issuing licenses)
![Page 10: INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAMgec.jp/gec/en/Activities/ietc/fy2011/e-waste/Vietnam.pdf · INTRODUCTION ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAM Vietnam Environment Administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070607/5aaa1b157f8b9a90188dac12/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Current practices of E-waste Management (1)
• Until now, e-waste generation rate is still low because Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are mostly in reuse
• WEEE in Vietnam is mostly discarded by selling to the collectors for dismantlement
• Different collection systems for e-waste in Vietnam operated by collectors, transporters (licensed or not licensed). – Big generators usually transfer e-waste to licensed
transporter and treatment facilities – Household and small generators who do no register
usually transfer waste to unlicensed collectors and transporters

Current practices of E-waste Management-measures taken
by authorities • Set-up of licensing system for hazardous waste collection,
transport and disposal: Around 60 facilities are licensed by MONRE (treatment and collection, transportation facilities) in addition with those licensed by DONRE
• Developing an e-manifest system for hazardous wastes for more effective management
• Based on registration of e-waste generators, MONRE/DONRE require them to transfer waste to the licensed collectors, transporters and treatment facility operators. Those generators, collectors and treatment operator will need to reports to MONRE, DONRE every 6 months.
• Environment Police strengthen the implementation of the regulation by irregulaly checks and inspections

Role of informal sector in collection of e-waste
• Un-licensed collectors usually collect waste from household and small generators
• Impacts:
– Positive: collect almost e-waste generated from household and small generators
– Negative: pollute environment (discard residues and invaluable parts to landfills) and affect the worker’s health

Future activities of Vietnam
• Continue implement the Circular 12/2006 on registration and licensing system for generators, collectors, transporters and treatment facility operators
• Very soon issuing and implement the Decision on responsibility of EEE manufacturers and importer on collection of their products
• Organize awareness raising programs to encourage the generators to transfer waste to licensed transporters and treatment facility operators.
• Through licensed collectors, transporters and treatment facility operators, the generators was encouraged and forced to register with DONRE.
• Formulate mechanism and policies to strongly encourage for establishment of service units to collect, transport, handling e-waste, persistent
