As part of the series of activities for this “Green Con Dao Day” event, residents brought sorted plastic waste to exchange for recycled prizes such as greenery and plant pots. The collected plastic waste will be transported to Ho Chi Minh City for processing, recycling into useful products like furniture, which will then be donated back to the Con Dao community. During the event on November 30, over 170 kg of recyclable plastic waste, cans, and milk boxes were collected by the organizers.

The collected waste is processed and recycled according to the proper procedures.

Building a green destination and supporting the local community is everyone's responsibility in the effort towards sustainable development. With a key strategy for sustainable development, joining the green journey of Con Dao is part of a series of plans that Vietnam Airlines is kicking off.

Previously, in Phase 1 (from September 24 to September 30 and from October 8 to October 12), the project successfully collected nearly 900 kg of various recyclable waste, which was taken back to the mainland for proper processing and recycling. In the coming time, Vietnam Airlines will continue to organize environmental protection activities in Con Dao and other locations across the country, contributing to the construction of a sustainable aviation-tourism ecosystem, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.
