HANOI: The conversion of existing industrial zones into eco-industrial zones contributed to savings of nearly 70 billion dong (US$2.76mil) annually in Vietnam during 2020-2024, according to the Planning and Investment Ministry and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Unido).
A total of 603 projects have been implemented in industrial zones across the country to convert existing facilities to be greener and more resource-efficient during the period, which has helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 8,910 tonnes per year.
