| Summary: | Operating eco-industrial park (EIP) based on industrial ecology theory has emerged
since 1970s to reduce the impact of waste and save natural resources. It is especially meaningful
for developing countries like Vietnam to reach sustainable development goals.
The study is based on the theory of industrial ecology, the previous studies of applicable
capacity in Vietnam condition and the development orientations in Hai Duong province – the
study area. The aim of this research is to develop an EIP model in Kinh Mon district, Hai Duong
province which have been developing material industry quite fast, along with the degradation of
the environment.
Kinh Mon EIP has been developed with Hai Duong thermal power plant (2x600MW) in focus,
along with a paper mill, an unbaked material factory, a fly ash treatment factory and Hoang Thach
cement factory’s supporting; constituting a symbiotic system. The model has a material cycle
among the factories, which can reduce resources demands and industrial waste emitted to the
environment – one of the EIP's aims. The model has many advantages, especially the high
applicability in this particular case because it is based on actual needs of the province, as well as
the availability of natural resources |
