Plastic recycling in Vietnam has great development potential
Vietnam recycled plastics market potential
Vietnam’s plastic consumption has increased more than tenfold over the past three decades, and the lack of a formal waste management system has contributed to the plastic pollution problem. “Vietnam will continue to experience rapid urbanization and economic growth, and the production and consumption of plastics will also increase,” according to the professionals involved. This has put great pressure on local waste management systems and has allowed Vietnam’s plastic leakage problem to grow to alarming levels.

What does Vietnam do with recycled plastic?
Making plastic planks
In Vietnam, a team that recycles plastics works to turn low-value plastics in Vietnam into sheets. These plastic sheets can be used to make items such as furniture and garbage bins. They work directly with local municipalities in Vietnam to collect low-quality plastics and work with schools, hotels, offices, restaurants and bars to collect plastic waste. The collected plastic waste is then cleaned, dried, shredded, and subsequently sent to a press to be turned into sheets, which are finally ready for sale.
Making plastic pellets
The plastic waste collected from various sources is resold by the operators of the processing centers and then shredded, washed, made into pellets, and sold to factories in Vietnam and China to make synthetic fibers and new plastic products. Relevant sources said that every step of recycling plastic requires infrastructure, that is, plastic recycling machines, and processing technology. And Vietnam does not have these conditions yet.
