To promote the circular economy for plastics, it requires a consensus of all stakeholders, from plastic producers and plastic waste management companies to the community, heard a workshop in Hanoi on April 12. The workshop formed part of activities within the annual conference of the Leadership Board implementing the Vietnam National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP), which took place the same day. The Leadership Board reported that the accumulative volume of mismanaged plastics in Vietnam is expected to pile up to 3.15 million tonnes in 2030 from 1.53 million tonnes in 2018 according to a normal scenario. This will lead to a significant increase in plastic waste leakage. If the current pace of waste collection and treatment is maintained, the estimated amount of plastic discharged into the environment each year will rise from about 182,000 tonnes in 2018 to 373,000 tonnes in 2030. The participants looked into the current situation of plastic waste in Vietnam, and identified key action that need to be taken. These include raising consumer awareness of sustainable packaging, promoting the implementation of EPR, green financing for recycling projects, and raising localities’ capacity in plastic and solid waste management.
