VNCPC conducts field survey at Tang Loong industrial park (Lao Cai)

From October 14-16, a working delegation from the Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre Co.Ltd. (VNCPC) and Green Ventures Vietnam Joint Stock Company coordinated with the Management Board of Lao Cai Economic Zone to conduct a field survey at Tang Loong industrial park (IP).

This activity is part of the project “Transforming Tang Loong IP into an Eco-IP.”

Tang Loong IP covers more than 1,100 hectares and hosts a large number of enterprises operating in industrial production, fertilizer, and chemical sectors. It is considered one of the key industrial hubs in northern Vietnam.

During the mission, the delegation carried out:

• Surveys of production lines, energy and water use systems, and the consumption of raw materials, fuels, and chemicals;
• Assessments of the current wastewater, exhaust gas and solid waste treatment systems of enterprises within the industrial park;
• Collection and analysis of data to identify opportunities for cleaner production, resource efficiency, and the development of industrial symbiosis networks among enterprises.

The survey aims to support enterprises in Tang Loong IP in:

• Identifying cost-saving opportunities;
• Reducing emissions and reusing by-products;
• Enhancing cooperation in by-product utilization through industrial symbiosis models.

This is an important step towards transforming Tang Loong IP into the first eco-industrial park in Lao Cai province, contributing to the province’s goals for sustainable development and a circular economy.
