It is an initiative of the project “Rethinking Plastics – Circular Economy Solutions to Marine Litter” funded by the European Union and the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, and supporting a transition towards a circular economy for plastics to reduce plastic waste leakage into the sea.
Fanny Quertamp, Senior Specialist of the "Rethinking Plastics" project, affirmed that, within the framework of the project, the EU and the German ministry will stand side by side with Vietnam in efforts to reduce ocean plastic waste, by encouraging supermarkets and consumers to change their habits in order to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags.
The communication campaign has been implemented from October with various forms of communications expected to bring the most effective influences to promote changes in behaviours of the whole society./.
