Meanwhile‚ blessed as it is with a natural environment that includes beaches where people can swim all year round‚ the provincial government has also promoted policies that balance industrial development and environmental protection.
It is formulating a socio-economic development master plan for the period from 2021 to 2030‚ and has stated the purpose of the plan to be “promoting the establishment of industrial parks that pay due consideration to the environment.”
At the national level‚ the Decree on the Management of Industrial Zones and Economic Zones (Decree 82‚ 2018) has been promulgated‚ and under Decree 35‚ amended in 2022‚ a system has been established to certify industrial parks that are implementing appropriate environmental measures (reduction of pollution sources‚ recycling-oriented production‚ decarbonization) as "eco-industrial parks.” However‚ the guidelines for that certification have yet to be stipulated.

The aforementioned Decree 35 states that as a condition for the certification of eco-industrial parks‚ “Enterprises operating at an industrial park must perform at least one industrial symbiosis in which participating enterprises at the industrial park must apply production and environment management systems according to corresponding ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards.”
The Kitakyushu municipal government has been asked for its cooperation since it is implementing eco-town projects based on the concept of industrial symbiosis and cleaner production‚ and has been providing support for eco-industrial parks in Hai Phong City. KITA will participate in this project as an expert on industrial symbiosis (inter-company cooperation such as Kitakyushu Eco-Town)‚ and will hold discussions with institutions and industrial parks in Ba Ria Vung Tau Province‚ hold seminars on Kitakyushu Eco-Town‚ and run two training courses in Japan for provincial government officials and persons involved in industrial parks.
