The EPR Toolbox is a collection of internationally relevant knowledge on the topic of EPR for packaging. It contains detailed training materials on EPR, practical country examples and a set of FAQs. Institutional and operational actors, among them public authorities, producers, collectors, operators or recyclers, can now enhance their knowledge about EPR for packaging with the Thai translation of the EPR Toolbox. The toolbox was developed by the PREVENT Waste Alliance and translated by ‘Rethinking Plastics’.

The manual for sustainable plastic recycling, developed by ‘Rethinking Plastics’ is an essential guide to provide a more in-depth understanding of the plastic recycling sector in Vietnam and also contributes to the implementation of Vietnam's National Action Plan on Sustainable Production and Consumption in the period of 2021-2030 (Decision 889/QD-TTg dated June 24, 2020). It includes information on plastics classification, standards, methods, equipment, technologies and technical guidelines as well as sustainable trends in the plastic recycling industry, information on legal compliance, environmental protection regulations and national and international policy frameworks, such as the recently issued EPR regulations in Vietnam

The Policy Paper shares insights about efficient waste collection from ships in Vietnam based on European experiences, international regulations and an assessment of the current situation. It also summarises steps for improving ship waste management based on learnings from pilot activities in Cat Lai Port.

If ships calling ports cannot deliver their waste at port reception facilities or other collection systems, they are indirectly forced to dump it illegally into the sea. It is therefore vital that the waste collected from ships is managed properly on land and to the extent possible merged into the municipality waste streams.
