The "Eco-industrial park intervention in Vietnam" project co-implemented by UNIDO and the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) of Vietnam aims at improving productivity of natural resources (including energy, water, and materials) and reducing pollution and waste intensity of businesses and other organizations. The primary benefits will be increasing productivity and decreasing environmental degradation. These, in turn, will contribute to other benefits such as improvement of industry competitiveness, improvement of market access, and meeting consumer needs for environmentally sound goods and services.
