  "account": "Tran Nhat Ninh, deputy general director of Tien Phong Plastic, highlighted a critical issue at The Vietnam Industrial Property Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on September 29. The company's operations span three factories across Haiphong, Nghe An, and Binh Duong, now part of Ho Chi Minh City. Tien Phong Plastics serves as both a manufacturer in IPs and a provider of materials, infrastructure, and development solutions. The company aims to transition towards next-generation models that prioritize quality, economic efficiency, environmental benefits, and social responsibility. However, many companies still rely on standalone production models, which hinders the development of eco-IPs and circular economies. Ninh emphasized the need for industrial symbiosis, which involves linking businesses to exchange material flows, such as by-products, scrap, and treated wastewater. This would require addressing three main obstacles: insufficient transparency in material flows, lack of legal mechanisms for resource sharing, and a need for trust between businesses to establish long-term linkages. Regarding infrastructure, factories face challenges in electricity, water, and wastewater management. Companies must invest in pipelines and power systems to integrate with IP infrastructure, which can reduce initial investment costs and shorten the time to bring factories into operation.",
