J&T Express launches plastic waste collection campaign

The trend of online shopping and increasing household spending on food and beverages are creating major growth drivers for plastic packaging products. Every day, every online store throws away a lot of plastic bags and product packaging, every restaurant also throws away thousands of plastic cups, bowls and plates. The consumption of single-use plastic products has been and is causing serious impacts on the living environment.

As a bridge between sellers and buyers, understanding the serious impact of plastic waste on the environment. This November, J&T Express officially launched the campaign "Building a green future" with the support of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment's Communications Center, to encourage the community to collect waste and recycle it into valuable products.

Participants only need to clean and sort used plastic products such as plastic bottles, plastic boxes or milk cartons... and bring them to the collection points from 7am to 7pm every day of the week.

By setting up 25 waste collection points in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Bac Ninh, J&T Express creates opportunities for both traders and individuals to participate and spread the spirit of environmental protection in the most practical way.

All plastic waste after being collected and sorted at the collection center will be transferred to Lagom Vietnam (a unit specializing in collecting and recycling waste) to be recycled into 10 high-quality tables and chairs to be donated to 5 schools in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Bac Ninh province in the second phase of the campaign taking place this November. The recycled tables and chairs have good load-bearing capacity, are termite-resistant and are especially safe for users.

After collection, plastic waste will be processed by the waste recycling unit into 10 sets of tables and chairs to donate to schools.

Mr. Phan Binh, Brand Director of J&T Express Vietnam, shared: "Every discarded plastic bottle will become a burden on the environment, directly affecting our lives and future generations. Through the program "Building a green future", J&T Express wishes to spread the message of "green living" to the community, calling on everyone to "regenerate" plastic waste and give them a new, more meaningful life."
