Ho Chi Minh City: Building a circular economy will be among Vietnam’s top priorities in the near future, according to economists and environmental experts.
This is a key trend and a step in making the transition from an old economic model to a greener model, in which sorting, collecting and recycling are key solutions to reduce environmental pollution, said participants of a workshop organised by the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and the Ministry of Industry and Trade here.
