Vietnam and Denmark Launch Groundbreaking Food Waste Recycling Guidebook

HCM City recently witnessed the official launch of the 'Food Waste Recycling Guidebook - A Pathway to a Greener Future'. This handbook, a collaborative effort between Vietnam and Denmark, aims to promote green transformation and combat food waste, a pressing global issue with Vietnam facing increasing concerns.

The guidebook, featuring five comprehensive chapters, covers a wide range of topics crucial to understanding and tackling food waste. It begins with an in-depth look at the issue, delving into the importance of sorting waste, reusing and recycling, and best practices. Additionally, it provides valuable resources for community engagement, empowering individuals and communities to transform waste into valuable resources and reduce methane emissions.

The handbook, part of VFBN's broader 'Green Vietnam - No Food Waste' campaign, seeks to inspire individuals to become 'Green Heroes' in reducing food waste. It reflects the shared commitment of Vietnam and Denmark to advance sustainability and practical community action for a cleaner, more sustainable future. The launch event was organised by the Vietnam Food Bank Network (VFBN), in collaboration with the Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA).

With one-third of all food produced globally lost or wasted each year, the 'Food Waste Recycling Guidebook' comes as a timely resource. Its launch in HCM City signals a significant step towards promoting sustainable consumption habits nationwide, as Vietnam and Denmark continue to share knowledge and best practices in their commitment to sustainable development.
