Fast Fashion Issue in Vietnam: Legal Aspects and Environmental Protection
Summary
This review examines the fast fashion phenomenon in Vietnam from legal and environmental protection perspectives, analyzing how accelerating fashion consumption contributes to textile waste and microplastic pollution. The paper identifies gaps in Vietnamese environmental law and policy frameworks for regulating the fashion industry's environmental impacts.
The entire world is facing a tremendous acceleration in the development of the fashion industry and responding to the highly increasing demand for fashion items. However, the fashion industry is the main root of creating tons of environmental problems and greenhouse gas emissions in the corporate production process. Fast fashion is the new fashion trend, which has continuously been harming the environment, specifically contributes to carbon emissions and many other scenarios. The expansion of fast fashion products in the modern age all over the world has also created preferable conditions for nurturing fast fashion brands in Vietnam. In addition, it helps the advent of foreign fast fashion brands penetrate the Vietnam market. As a result, the Government needs to pay attention to some issues related to policies, laws, environmental protection, and sustainable development goals of net emissions in Vietnam. In the content of this article, the author examines the fast fashion trends in Vietnam from the perspective of law enforcement, and environmental protection under the goal of maintaining sustainable development, thereby making some necessary recommendations for improving the relevant legal policy.

Plastic and Microplastic Waste Governance in Vietnam: Analysis of Legal Gaps and Extended Producer Responsibility Mechanism in the Context of International Integration
Researchers analyzed Vietnam's legal framework for plastic and microplastic waste governance, examining gaps in the Extended Producer Responsibility mechanism. The study found that despite recent regulatory progress, significant legal gaps remain in addressing microplastic pollution, and recommends strengthening enforcement and aligning domestic policy with international integration efforts.
The impact of fast fashion on the environment and climate change
This paper examines how fast fashion's rapid production cycles and disposable consumer culture contribute to growing environmental impacts including carbon emissions, water pollution, and textile waste. The disposal of fast fashion clothing releases synthetic microfibers and eventually contributes to microplastic pollution in soils and waterways.
Policy and Legislations on Microplastics Pollution Management in Vietnam
This paper reviews Vietnam's legal framework for managing plastic pollution, including microplastics, finding that while legislation exists it lacks specific provisions for microplastics and implementation is weak. Stronger, more targeted policy is needed to address the country's growing plastic waste problem.
The Impact of Fast Fashion on Marine Plastic Pollution
This paper reviews the fast fashion industry's contribution to waterway pollution, explaining that cheap synthetic clothing sheds microplastic fibers during production and washing, and that the industry's rapid growth — especially in Asia — is making this a significant global pollution source. The authors propose manufacturing regulations and consumer behavior change as solutions to reduce the volume of synthetic microfibers entering waterways.
