The study proposes sustainable management strategies for reducing plastic pollution in a country with high per capita plastic consumption and significant waste discharge.
Assess the Status of Plastic Waste Generation in Phu Tho Province and Solutions
This study assessed the status of plastic waste generation in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, estimating waste loads from different sectors and proposing management strategies to reduce plastic pollution at the provincial scale.
Plastic Waste and Difficulties in Management in Vietnam
This paper is not about microplastics — it provides an overview of plastic waste generation, management challenges, and the limited recycling rate in Vietnam, where about 90% of plastic waste is burned, buried, or released to the environment.
Assessment of Household Solid Waste Generation and Composition by Building Type in Da Nang, Vietnam
A study of household solid waste in Da Nang, Vietnam combined satellite imagery and field surveys to measure waste generation and composition by building type. The findings provide a practical method for cities to better understand and manage their waste streams.
Distribution of Microplastics in Beach Sand on the Can Gio Coast, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Researchers conducted the first survey of microplastic distribution in beach sands along the Can Gio Coast in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, finding plastics at all five sites with abundance and composition varying by proximity to urban activity and depth within the sand profile.
Plastic waste in sandy beaches and surface water in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam: abundance, characterization, and sources
Plastic waste surveys on three major beaches in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam documented abundant marine debris including microplastics, with quantities reflecting nearby anthropogenic activities and waste management gaps. The findings provide a baseline for coastal management and pollution control in the region.
Current Status of Plastic Waste and Proposing Solutions to Raise Community Awareness in Reducing Plastic Waste in Vietnam
Researchers analyzed the current state of plastic waste in Vietnam, finding that total plastic waste reaches 3.27 million tons per year, with 90% burned, buried, or released into the environment and only 10% recycled. The study proposes targeted community awareness strategies — tailored to different audiences with long-term, scripted campaigns — to change consumption habits and promote the use of recycled and environmentally friendly alternatives.
Thực Trạng Rác Thải Tại Một Số Trường Trung Học Cơ Sở Ở Quận Thanh Khê, Thành Phố Đà Nẵng Năm 2022
This Vietnamese study assessed waste management practices at two middle schools in Da Nang in 2022, focusing on plastic waste. Researchers found that single-use plastic waste was a major component of school garbage and proper disposal habits were lacking. The study highlights the need for environmental education and waste reduction programs in Vietnamese schools.
Research on the Behavior of Use of Nylon Bag of the People of Thai Nguyen City
This survey study assessed plastic bag use behaviors among 221 residents of Thai Nguyen City, Vietnam, finding that while most people are aware of environmental harms from plastic bags, many continue to use them. The findings suggest a need for targeted public education and accessible alternative products to shift behavior.
Reduction of Plastic Waste in Tourism Activities in Sam Son City, Viet Nam
This study measured plastic waste generated by tourism in Sam Son, Vietnam and proposed strategies to reduce single-use plastic in the coastal tourism sector to protect beach and marine environments.
Distribution of Microplastics in the Beach Indicating Anthropogenic Sediments: Case Study in Can Gio HCM City, Vietnam
Researchers characterised microplastics in coastal sediments of Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam across dry and rainy seasons, examining characteristics, composition, size, shape, and distribution through boreholes and excavations at identified cross-sections.
Developing a circular economy from plastic waste and identifying microplastics in domestic water supplies in Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeastern provinces
This study explored pathways for developing circular economy systems from plastic waste streams, including identification and quantification of microplastics at different stages of the waste cycle as a prerequisite for effective material recovery.
Potential contamination of microplastic from plastic recycling enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Researchers found that plastic recycling plants in Ho Chi Minh City release significant concentrations of microplastics through their wastewater and sludge, with thousands of particles per liter in effluent, identifying recycling facilities as an underrecognized continuous source of microplastic pollution.
Preliminary assessment on the microplastic contamination in the atmospheric fallout in the Phuoc Hiep landfill, Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh city
Researchers collected atmospheric fallout near a landfill in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and found microplastics present, with abundances comparable to studies from developed countries. The study provides early evidence of airborne microplastic deposition near waste sites in developing countries, where plastic waste management is often inadequate.
Surveying Medical Mask Waste Generation in Can Tho University, Vietnam
This paper is not about microplastics; it surveys how students at a Vietnamese university use and dispose of medical face masks, finding poor waste classification practices and generating estimates of daily mask waste volumes.
Household-Level Strategies to Tackle Plastic Waste Pollution in a Transitional Country
Researchers surveyed 730 Vietnamese households on plastic waste management strategies, finding that waste sorting, environmental fund contributions, and willingness to relocate from polluted areas varied based on socioeconomic factors and environmental awareness.
Distribution of microplastics in surface water from Saigon River to Can Gio Sea
Researchers found widespread microplastic contamination in surface water samples from the Saigon River and Can Gio Sea in Vietnam, with concentrations and particle types shifting from river to coastal environments, reflecting the transport of land-based plastic pollution into marine systems.
Distribution of Microplastics in Beach Sand on the Can Gio Coast, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Microplastics were sampled from beach sand along the Can Gio Coast in Vietnam, revealing widespread contamination with fragments and fibers as the most common types. The findings add to growing evidence that Southeast Asian coastlines are heavily affected by plastic pollution.
Distribution and characteristics of microplastics in surface water at some beaches in Thanh Hoa province, Viet Nam
Researchers characterized microplastic density, shape, size, and color in surface water at three beaches in Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam, finding high microplastic concentrations in this coastal marine environment. The study assessed microplastic exposure risks in a region where contamination can enter the food chain through aquatic organisms.
Current Plastic Waste Status and Its Leakage at Tam Giang–Cau Hai Lagoon System in Central Vietnam
Researchers quantified the annual leakage of plastic waste into the Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system in central Vietnam by surveying surrounding urban and rural areas and applying a waste flow diagram model, estimating substantial annual plastic input to this coastal lagoon. The findings highlight the link between inadequate solid waste management and plastic contamination of aquatic ecosystems.
Preliminary Investigation of Microplastic Pollution in Agricultural Soil in Dong Anh District, Hanoi City
Agricultural soil samples from five sites in suburban Hanoi, Vietnam contained 494 to 1031 microplastic particles per kilogram of dry soil, with PET as the dominant polymer (38%) and fragments as the most common shape. The study provides baseline contamination data for a rapidly urbanizing agricultural region of Southeast Asia where plastic use and waste mismanagement are both growing. Documenting microplastic levels in food-producing soils is a critical first step for assessing dietary exposure risks for local populations.
