Consultant Firm for Vietnam Fabric-Scrap Recycle / Reuse Management Program

* Plastic waste is a major source of pollution affecting the environment, human health and well-being. Globally, up to 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year, and 1 million plastic bottles are bought every minute. According to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), it is estimated that in the next 10 - 15 years global plastic production is projected to nearly double. Plastic pollution across Asia is a major problem. In fact, 60% of all plastic that ends up in our oceans comes from only 6 countries in Asia, including Vietnam. Vietnam is among the top 5 countries responsible for the estimated 13 million tons of plastic dumped in our ocean every year. Single-use plastics is widespread and waste management capacity is limited in Vietnam, causing the rising burden from plastic waste to the environment and public health. It is time to call for collective actions to combat one of the great environmental challenges of all time: such collective actions are needed from governments, the private sector, as well as citizens as consumers who need to take responsibility. Governments should lead by enacting strong policies to push for reducing the production of plastic waste and encouraging private investment on plastic waste recycling. The private sector must innovate, adopting business models that reduce downstream impacts of their products. Citizens must act as both consumers and informed citizens, demanding sustainable products and by adopting sensible consumption habits and at the same time exercising their buying power by refusing single-use plastics.
