Immediately after the contest was launched, 23/25 women's associations in communes and towns in the district actively participated. Before starting the implementation, the women held meetings, presented ideas for product development, and then discussed and agreed on a plan.
“As the “fire keepers” of the family, we understand the importance of the cooking area, so we unanimously chose the idea of recycling waste into household items for the kitchen. Products such as trash baskets, spice containers, etc. are very familiar in life, so it is easy for women to do,” said Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Tan My Ha Commune, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Mai.
Meanwhile, members of the Women's Union of Son Trung commune chose to produce handbags from plastic waste such as nylon bags, water straws, plastic bottles...
