02 Dec 2022 --- The Vietnamese government has approached the World Bank for an advisory report on how to combat the country’s alarming plastic pollution problems. There are reportedly around 3.1 million metric tons of plastic waste discharged on land every year in Vietnam, forcing the government to consider alternative solutions like biodegradable plastics. Meanwhile, researcher Huitong Wang from the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources at University College London, UK, has provided a new vision to minimize plastic waste in Vietnam by 2050. According to Wang, there are several pathways for achieving a significant plastic reduction. The vision can be divided into three parts based on the reduce, reuse and recycle (3R) principles.
