Phu Yen (VNA) - The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment held a conference in the
central province of Phu Yen on December 14 to review one year of implementing a movement against plastic waste.
To reduce such pollution in Vietnam, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc launched a movement on “saying no” to plastic waste around the country in June last year. All ministries, agencies, and localities prepared their own action plans in response to the movement, in particular targeting disposable plastics and persistent organic pollutants.
More than a year later, the
Packaging Recycling Organisation Vietnam and the Vietnam Zero Waste Alliance have been set up to improve the environment and encourage a lifestyle free of waste.
