 With several decades of experiences on environmental protection behind us, Vietnam recognizes that with the end-of-pipe approach, we have been treating environmental symptoms instead of the diseases. It is of course important to have technological (end-of-pipe) solutions to overcome existing pollution problems and to deal with accidental pollution events. But it is essential and more environmental friendly as well as economically to prevent wastes from being generated or to reuse their valuable materials. Working towards more sustainable development of (agro-) food processing industry in Vietnam, this book provides a methodology to analyze and assess possibilities and approaches to move existing (food processing) industrial systems towards zero waste industrial ecosystems. A major part of this book is dedicated to the application of the developed methodology on existing food processing industrial systems in Vietnam. The case studies analyze how and to what extent the existing food processing industry in Vietnam could be transformed into more environmentally sound direction. Based on theoretical elaboration and supporting empirical evidence, the book reflects on the applicability of Industrial Ecology Concepts in Vietnam.
