Circular economy development project: By 2025, will Vietnam treat and recycle 85% of plastic waste generated?
Recycling and treating 85% of plastic waste generated by 2025?
Pursuant to Section 2, Article 1 of the Prime Minister's Decision 687/QD-TTg in 2022, issued on June 7, 2022, has set specific goals when implementing the Circular Economy Development Project. Vietnam as follows:
- Contributing to concretize the target of reducing greenhouse gas emission intensity per GDP by at least 15% by 2030 compared to 2014, towards the goal of net emissions to "zero" by 2050.
- Increasing awareness and investment interest of domestic and foreign enterprises and investors in the concept of the concept of economy; promoting the application of the THIS model to promote the greening of economic sectors. By 2025, economic projects will initially be put into practice and bring into play their economic, social, technological and environmental efficiency; contribute to the recovery of renewable resources, reduce energy consumption, increase the share of renewable energy in total primary energy supply, the rate of forest cover, increase the rate of waste recycling, increase strengthen the localization rate of agricultural, forestry and fishery products and export industries. By 2030, eco-projects will become a major driver in reducing primary energy consumption, achieving self-sufficiency in most or all renewable energy-based energy needs, and in increasing the proportion of renewable energy sources. forest cover rate.
- The THIS model supports building a green lifestyle, encouraging waste separation and promoting sustainable consumption. By 2025, reuse, recycle and treat 85% of generated plastic waste; reduce 50% of plastic waste in the sea and ocean compared to the previous period; gradually reduce production and use of non-biodegradable plastic bags and disposable plastic products in daily life. Significantly increase the recycling capacity of organic waste in urban and rural areas. Raise awareness of agencies, organizations, businesses, communities and people in the production, consumption and disposal of plastic waste, non-biodegradable plastic bags and disposable plastic products in daily life. By 2030, the proportion of urban daily-life solid waste collected and treated up to standards and regulations through basic economic models will reach 50%; 100% of urban organic waste and 70% of rural organic waste are recycled; does not give rise to the direct burial of domestic solid waste from the eco-economic models in urban areas; maximize the rate of urban wastewater collected and treated to meet standards and regulations as prescribed in urban areas.
The model of the private economy makes an important contribution to improving the quality of life and people's resilience to climate change, ensuring equality in conditions and opportunities for capacity development, and improving labor productivity. labor and income of workers from the basic economy.
Thus, the target by 2050 will bring the net emission intensity to "0". By 2025, reuse, recycle and treat 85% of generated plastic waste; reduce 50% of plastic waste in the sea and ocean compared to the previous period.
