| Summary: | Vietnam is one of the world’s major
plastic litter polluters; every year an estimated 280,000 to
310,000 tons of plastic leak into the ocean. The roadmap
focuses on reducing the single use plastics (SUPs) polluting
Vietnam’s environment such as non-degradable plastic bags;
EPS food containers; plastic straws, cutlery, cups, lids,
and drink stirrers; and shampoo and other toiletry bottles.
The government of Vietnam has committed to banning the
production and importing of plastic bags by 2026 and most
single-use plastic products by 2031. |
