From 2026 supermarkets and stores in shopping malls will not be allowed to pack goods in single-use plastic bags, an environment ministry official has said.

 

Vietnam has various regulations for controlling plastic waste, and they include having all retailers switch to environment-friendly bags by 2025, Nguyen Trung Thang, deputy head of the Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, said.

 

"Starting in 2026 any retailer who still gives customers single-use plastic bags will be punished," he said at a conference in Hanoi on Wednesday, as cited by Vietnam News Agency.
