Visitors to Quan Lan, Minh Chau, Ngoc Vung, Thang Loi, and Ban Sen and local residents are assisted in using environmentally-friendly, recycled products as alternatives for plastic bags.

The initiative aims to raise public awareness of the risks of plastic waste pollution, and to call on the community to change behaviors and habits of using single-use plastic products and bags in an effort to ensure sustainable tourism.

Van Don targets to cut 50% and 100% plastic waste in the five communes by 2025 and 2030, respectively.

In September last year, Quang Ninh’s Co To island district also banned visitors from bringing single-use plastic products.
