[Green Vibe Only] Protecting the Ocean Starts at UEH's Green Practice Station

Did you know that the straw or plastic cup you casually toss away today could very well end its life somewhere in the ocean? Plastic waste from land is one of the primary drivers of marine ecosystem degradation. According to data from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the city generates approximately 9,000 tonnes of household waste every day, of which plastic waste accounts for roughly 1,800 tonnes. Without proper source separation and risk control, large quantities of non-biodegradable waste will infiltrate the city's canal systems, leak into the ocean, and directly disrupt underwater ecological chains.
