The Study of the Laws of Vietnam to Prevent and Control Marine Environmental Pollution from Ship's Garbage
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examines Vietnamese maritime law governing the prevention and control of marine environmental pollution from ship-generated garbage, analyzing how existing regulations align with international standards for managing waste from vessel operations. The authors identify gaps in Vietnam's legal framework for controlling ship-source pollution and recommend strengthening enforcement and compliance mechanisms to protect national marine waters.
The Vietnam Maritime Administration has established and dominated the seaborne cargo transportation market in Vietnam in order to prevent pollution of the marine environment from ship-source pollution as well as other sources from ships. The issue of marine pollution caused by trash, sewage, and air pollution from ships is then present, parallel to that development. One of these sources that has a negative effect on the quality of seawater in Vietnam is ship waste, which is regarded as one of the primary sources of pollutants. Additionally, the existence of plastics and microplastics, which have a diameter of less than 5 mm, has a detrimental impact on both the marine environment and human health. Therefore, Vietnam's crucial task going forward is to swiftly add laws to prevent and regulate marine environmental pollution brought on by ship waste. The method proposed is to study the participation, implementation of International Conventions, and improvement of laws of other countries. The author offers valuable experiences for Vietnam to quickly improve laws in this field.

Harmonising National Legal Frameworks with Emerging International Legal Norms on Marine Plastic Pollution: A Case Study of Vietnam
AI summary Read the abstract
This study looked at whether Vietnam's laws on ocean plastic pollution actually match up with global standards being developed to tackle this crisis. The good news: Vietnam has made real progress, like requiring companies to help manage the waste from their products. But there are still gaps—like weak tracking systems and unclear coordination between agencies—that need fixing so plastic waste doesn't keep leaking into the ocean, where it breaks down into microplastics that end up in seafood and drinking water.
Plastic and Microplastic Waste Governance in Vietnam: Analysis of Legal Gaps and Extended Producer Responsibility Mechanism in the Context of International Integration
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed Vietnam's legal framework for plastic and microplastic waste governance, examining gaps in the Extended Producer Responsibility mechanism. The study found that despite recent regulatory progress, significant legal gaps remain in addressing microplastic pollution, and recommends strengthening enforcement and aligning domestic policy with international integration efforts.
Policy and Legislations on Microplastics Pollution Management in Vietnam
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviews Vietnam's legal framework for managing plastic pollution, including microplastics, finding that while legislation exists it lacks specific provisions for microplastics and implementation is weak. Stronger, more targeted policy is needed to address the country's growing plastic waste problem.
Regulatory Frameworks for Plastic Waste Management in Vietnam: Legal Gaps, Extended Producer Responsibility, and Pathways Toward a Circular Economy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a doctrinal legal analysis of Vietnam's Environmental Protection Law 2020 and related regulations, identifying critical gaps in extended producer responsibility enforcement, single-use plastic restrictions, informal sector integration, and alignment with the emerging Global Plastics Treaty that collectively limit effective plastic waste management.
Developing a method for estimation of plastic waste leaked into the ocean
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a methodology for estimating how much plastic waste leaks into the ocean from Vietnam, combining national waste generation data with leakage factors. The lack of standardized data was identified as a major obstacle to accurate assessment. A reliable estimation method is essential for measuring progress toward Vietnam's goal of reducing marine plastic debris by 75% by 2030.
