The transformation from the linear economy model into the circular economy (CE) model is a major policy of the Communist Party that has been reflected in the 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy for the period of 2021 - 2030 and specified in Article 142 of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and concretized in the Government’s Decree No. 08/NĐ-CP dated 10th January 2022. At the same time, along with the implementation of the provisions of the related legislation, the national master plan, sectoral master plans, provincial master plans for the period of 2021 - 2030 with a vision to 2050, the CE content has also been incorporated in these master plans. From that landscape, the National Action Plan on CE is a policy that needs to be implemented soon.
