Abstract
This chapter will provide an overview of waste management in Vietnam, including drivers, the current waste management situation, impacts, an institutional framework, issues, and challenges. There have been improvements in the last 10 years. However, waste management in Vietnam continues to face issues and constraints related to inefficient waste reduction, a national level efforts to implement separation at the source, environmental pollution caused by informal sector recycling efforts, and 70% to 75% of municipal solid waste in landfills. These issues are caused by incomplete legislation, inadequate financial resources, weak enforcement and implementation efforts, and low stakeholder awareness. Based on the analysis, several recommendations are provided for future improvement.
