environmental protection When the living standards of people are on the rise and their learning level is increasing gradually, human needs are not just satisfied by getting all the material gains they can earn but they also need a good environment This is the reason why they want to redirect strategies to a sustainable development Nowadays, businesses targeting the optimization of profits not stop or care to exploit natural resources, which pose a threat to the depletion of the world’s supply and trigger negative impacts on the environment such as: Air polution, water polution, poisoned waste,etc For manufacturers who invest in waste treatment, environmental protection places a burden on producing cost and reducing competition, thus it can reduce profits For their own benefit, businesses often overlook the common benefit of society So how to accomplish to develop economically to achieve sustainable development? At this time, the primary response for sustainable developement is cleaner production The introduction of cleaner production (CP) has played a significant role on the sustainable development CP helps to save the energy and natural resources, it even removes the waste lines with an effeciency up to 100% Today, the controlling pollution at the end of the pipe does not seem to be an efficient solution due to its low effectiveness and high cost Instead of that, the use of vertical pipes or CP has been prevalent CP is proactive and precautionary before the waste is generated Therefore, if the enterprise applies cleaner production, it not only benefits many businesses but also society CP is one of the most important strategies of many countries Implementing CP technology in the industry is a way to bring benefits to the economy and at the same time contribute to reducing environmental pollution, allowing enterprises to fulfill the requirements of environmental protection The application of cleaner production will also help businesses to build a good reputation and products that can compete in the domestic and foreign markets Hoang Van Thu Paper Joint Stock Company is located in Quan Trieu Ward, Thai Nguyen City Hoang Van Thu Paper Joint Stock Company is considered as one of the cradles of Vietnam paper industry, with a long history of development and a unit that has boldly applied cleaner production in recent years, it has brought about very good results The company has solidified its name and position in the domestic and international market and contributed to the economic development of Thai Nguyen in particular and of Vietnam in general In order to contribute to a sustainable development and promote the application of cleaner production in enterprises located in Thai Nguyen province, I conducted research named: “Evaluation of Cleaner Production strategies efficiency in carton paper production in Hoang Van Thu Paper Joint Stock Company, Thai Nguyen city, Thai Nguyen province” 1.2 Research’s objectives - Understanding the current status of production and the application of cleaner production options at Hoang Van Thu Paper JSC., Thai Nguyen - Evaluating the effectiveness of the company's cleaner production options - Researching to improve and propose new Cleaner Production solutions to the company
