As the area under durian cultivation expands in Vietnam, innovative methods are being developed to convert the large quantities of discarded durian shells into biochar and wood vinegar, reducing environmental impact and boosting farmers’ incomes.
Many businesses in Vietnam have developed circular economy models, focusing on waste-to-energy and producing building materials from the ash and slag of thermal power plants.
The model not only successfully helped many local women start businesses, but also established a scholarship fund to ensure that many disadvantaged local children can attend school without worry.

Vietnam faces a growing problem with electronic waste (e-waste), according to a study by the Hanoi University of Science and Technology's Centre of Science-Technology and Environment.
Despite the emerging opportunities in the recycling industry, Vietnamese businesses are facing challenges in harnessing these prospects, putting them at risk of losing market share domestically.
