This study conducts a desktop review on the available methods using for CPA. In this study, the CPA methods are presented and arranged in the order of the cleaner production procedures and divided into five groups: (1) pre-assessment methods for identifying cleaner production focus, (2) assessment methods for generating CP options, (3) feasibility study methods for selection CP options, (4) assessment methods for implementation phase, and (5) methods for CP continuing. On the basis of the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, the study proposes an integrated methods for CPA which are applicable to enhance effectiveness of CPA in industry in Vietnam.
