Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park
Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park is located in Hai Phong Province
As one of the pioneering industrial parks in Vietnam to follow an ecological development model, Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park has overcome numerous challenges to establish a circular production system.
More than 15 years ago, when the legal framework was still underdeveloped and green manufacturing had yet to gain attention, the investor — Shinec Joint Stock Company — remained committed to pursuing an eco-industrial park model.
The park has achieved notable success in waste management, energy conservation, and carbon emissions reduction. It has also gained recognition from international organizations and foreign delegations for effectively operating a green value chain.
A well-structured symbiotic model among enterprises in the steel, plastics, and electrical-electronics sectors has been developed, enhancing competitiveness and enabling access to sustainable markets. As a result, the park has shifted from having to persuade investors in its early days to now being actively sought after by businesses.
Currently, Shinec JSC is gradually expanding its scale and replicating the Nam Cau Kien eco-industrial park model in several provinces, including Quang Ninh, Thai Binh, Gia Lai, Hau Giang, and Khanh Hoa, with a target of reaching 3,500 hectares of green industrial land by 2030.
Although it is not listed among the national pilot eco-industrial park projects, Nam Cau Kien remains a standout example of voluntary, responsible environmental and social commitment.
