Abstract: Based on world experience of applying economic instruments (EIs) in solid waste management (SWM), by consensus and desk review methods, the research had identified corresponding weights of 09 criteria for selection of EIs in SWM and priority orders. Accordingly, a feasible EIs system was proposed in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC): 1) revenue generating instruments: focusing on study and application of user charges; 2) investment stimulating instruments: doing more researches on incentive policies to encourage investment from private sectors, particularly in collection and treatment of industrial solid waste-hazardous waste (ISW-HW); 3) behaviour modification instruments: accelerating supported instrument - general public education; announcing polluter blacklists; subsequently, doing researches on and developing deposit-refund system; compiling and publishing lists of products required reimbursing manufacturers after use.
