Viet Nam launches campaign to cut food waste and promote waste separation

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in coordination with the Hanoi People’s Committee, launched Viet Nam’s national campaign on September 20 to mark World Cleanup Day 2026 at Thong Nhat Park in Hanoi. Under the theme “From a clean plate to a clean city,” the event placed food waste, organic waste and waste separation at source within a broader discussion of resource management, green urban development and sustainable development.
