# Viet Nam Reshaping the plastics sector to deliver a more sustainable marine economy by 2030. [Contact National Secretariat](mailto:vietnam@globalplasticaction.org) ## Viet Nam's Challenge [View More](#) **3.7M** Around 3.7 million tons of plastic waste are generated in Viet Nam each year, and the figure of plastic consumption is projected to increase by 106% between 2018 and 2030. **~11%** Only around 11 percent of Viet Nam's plastic wastes are collected and segregated for recycling. ## Viet Nam National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP Viet Nam) [View More](#) *Key metrics and counters* ## National Targets [View More](#) **75%** By 2030, Viet Nam aims to reduce marine plastics by 75% and to collect 100% of abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear. **100%** The nation will eliminate single-use plastics and non-biodegradable plastic bags from coastal tourist attractions and ensure that marine protected areas are completely free of plastic waste by 2030. ## The Strategy [View More](#) ### Knowledge The Viet Nam NPAP has published the varied reports identifying key system change interventions to support the government’s targets to reduce plastic litter in oceans by 75% by 2030, as outlined in the National Program for Strengthening Plastic Waste Management and the National Action Plan for Management of Marine Plastic Litter by 2030.
