Starting from January 1, 2024, Vietnam officially implemented the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy, marking a significant milestone in waste management and the promotion of a circular economy. Among the first product groups subject to EPR are rubber tires, presenting both opportunities and challenges for the recycling industry.
What is EPR? – Overview of Vietnam's EPR Policy
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that requires manufacturers and importers to take responsibility for their products throughout the entire lifecycle, especially after disposal. In Vietnam, EPR is regulated under the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and came into effect in 2024 for specific product categories including batteries, accumulators, lubricants, tires, and commercial packaging.
From January 1, 2024, Vietnam’s EPR policy officially came into force, requiring producers and importers to collect, recycle, or dispose of post-consumer waste. This is a key step toward promoting a sustainable circular economy and environmental protection.
Product categories subject to EPR in Vietnam:
- Commercial packaging
- Batteries
- Accumulators
- Lubricating oil
- Rubber tubes and tires
- Electrical and electronic equipment
Tire Recycling – Meeting EPR Obligations in the Rubber Industry
According to Decree No. 08/2022/NĐ-CP, from 2024 onward, businesses manufacturing or importing automobile and motorcycle tires must recycle a minimum of 5% of the total quantity, with the required rate increasing over time.
Improper disposal of scrap tires leads to serious environmental pollution. Therefore, complying with EPR is not only a legal obligation but also a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
