Vietnam is strengthening enforcement and environmental regulations in the lead recycling industry, introducing stricter technology standards that require cleaner, low-emission circular processes and tighter hazardous waste control under Circular 09/2026/TT-BNNMT.

Authorities have also taken legal action against operators involved in serious pollution cases, including in Hưng Yên, while small-scale facilities in areas such as Đông Mai (Văn Lâm) are being required to relocate to industrial zones with centralized waste treatment systems.
