Thailand has imposed a comprehensive ban on electronic waste imports as it grapples with a burgeoning e-waste problem. A 2021 report from the Pollution Control Department revealed that the country generates over 400,000 tonnes of domestic electronic waste annually.

Vietnam faces a growing problem with electronic waste (e-waste), according to a study by the Hanoi University of Science and Technology's Centre of Science-Technology and Environment.

Vietnam Recycles (VR) has launched a door-to-door campaign to collect electronic waste in several districts in HCM City and wards in Hanoi, starting October 8 through December 2016.

Electronic waste levels in HCM City have reached alarming levels because of the huge quantities discarded every day and limited collection and treatment.
