Producers’s extending reponsibility of discharing waste. Advantages and disadvantages

Abstract

Today, the problem of waste is a top concern in the world in general and in Vietnam in particular. However, how to reduce, recycle and reuse this source of hazardous waste. This is a matter of concern for all businesses, authorities and people in polluted areas. Approximately 4.8 to 12.7 million tonnes of plastics are entering the oceans yearly, of which the vast majority leaks into the Indian Ocean and Pacific where many coastal-lands and countries are located. These leakages are caused by a lack of a sound waste collection and treatment system. Especially low- and middle-income countries often face budget shortfalls for waste management[2]. Starting from that urgent problem, we conducted research and discussed:“Producers’s extending reponsibility of discharing waste. Advantages and disadvantages.” with the aim of protecting the environment, contributing to reducing hazardous waste, recycling waste products to save raw material costs, contributing to reducing costs, ... helping to accelerate the transition to an economy that complies with more sustainable standards.
