Meeting Content

In the session introducing case study on the implementation of LRM, a presentation was delivered by Ms. Nguyen Dang Thu Cuc, Deputy Head of Division, Department of Climate Change, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Viet Nam. This project is being supported by the Overseas Environmental Cooperation Center, Japan(OECC) as one of the implementing agencies, and focuses on establishing an electronic tracking system for the management of end-of-life refrigerants in Viet Nam. It was shared that a pilot project is planned to be launched from December 2025, under which private sector operators will utilize the electronic system when carrying out LRM activities on the ground.

The draft guidelines for National Action Plans aim to assist government officials in organizing approaches for proactively conducting cross-ministerial coordination and engaging a wide range of private sector actors, in order to progressively move LRM from the planning stage to implementation.
During the meeting, the following comments on the draft guidelines were raised by participants from governments and the private sector:

• The need to take stock of existing regulations related to electronic waste management
• The importance of aligning with ongoing efforts to introduce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes
• The need to address the importance of cylinder management in refrigerant management
