The second day of the Local Plastic Waste Reduction Model Learning & Sharing Program, following the Collective Impact Approach in Vietnam, served as a platform for experience exchange. The event highlighted 12 key models from the LSPP project, implemented across four localities.

• 54 Green Houses

• Happiness Store – Upcycling for Livelihoods

• Green Tourism

• Engaging the Green Living Club in Waste Management (COVID-19 Response Initiative 2021–2022)

• Green Schools Against Plastic Waste

• Plastic-Waste-Reducing Residential Areas

• Plastic Reduction at Han Market

• Plastic Waste Minimization in Traditional Markets in Cam Le District

• Tống Duy Tân - Ngõ Cấm Chỉ Green Culinary Street

• Zero-Waste Schools

• Waste Collection, Sorting & Recycling – Community Recycling Playground in Lien Mac (Bac Tu Liem Women's Union Initiative)

• Waste Sorting & Transformation at Dinh Quan Pagoda (Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi

Over the past year, each local model has achieved significant progress, alongside challenges that needed to be addressed. To optimize their effectiveness in the upcoming year, participants engaged in:

• Field visits to observe different models in action

• Group discussions on organizing and scaling up initiatives

• Exchanges on local support needs for project sustainability

Many delegates expressed their enthusiasm and proposed ideas to strengthen local environmental movements.

The forum effectively served as a bridge for collaboration, linking stakeholders to support further model development.

One notable outcome was the commitment from the Hoi An Market Management Board to assist in distributing upcycled products made by the Cam Nam Disabled Women’s Club under the Green Recycling Model. However, for long-term viability, these products need to improve in quality and design to remain competitive in the marketplace.

This activity is part of the "Reducing Plastic Waste Pollution with Local Solutions" (LSPP) project, funded by USAID under the "Vietnam Local Activities for Environmental Health" program, implemented by GreenHub in partnership with ISPONRE, HUPH-VOHUN, and GIMASYS.
