LSP Empowers Long Son with Sustainable Waste Management Through the Donation of Recycled Trash Bins and Green Day Activities

Long Son Commune, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, December 1st, 2024 – Long Son Petrochemicals (LSP), a leading green petrochemical manufacturer in Vietnam, continues its efforts towards a greener future by donating 160 high-quality recycled trash bins to the Long Son People’s Committee (LSPC). These eco-friendly bins will be strategically placed along the 5-kilometer stretch of 28 Thang 4 Street, a major thoroughfare in Long Son Commune, serving hamlets 1, 5, 6, 7, and 10.

These recycled bins are produced from post-consumer recycled High-Density Polyethylene (r-HDPE) plastic which is derived from plastic waste that has already been used by consumers. This process involves collecting and sorting plastic waste, such as bottles and packaging, before processing it into recycled plastic pellets. These pellets can then be used to create new plastic products. This sustainable approach not only reduces environmental impact but also promotes a circular economy.

Mr. Rakphon Sooksiri, Manufacturing Director – Upstream of LSP, emphasized the company’s commitment to environmental protection. “At LSP, we are dedicated to ‘Low Waste’ initiatives. Recognizing the importance of proper waste management, we launched the ‘Rac Khong Thai – The Waste Rescue Mission’ to encourage waste segregation at source, the foundation of a circular economy. Today, we’re proud to donate these recycled bins as a showcase of how waste can turn to value and a tangible step towards a cleaner, greener future.”

In addition to the recycled trash bin donation, LSP hosted its monthly “Green Day” activity, where participants exchanged recyclable waste for rewards. This initiative reinforces the value of waste segregation and encourages responsible waste disposal. To date, Green Day activities have successfully collected an impressive 21,000 kilograms of recyclable waste.

LSP’s commitment to sustainability and community development is evident through this initiative. By empowering the community with the tools and knowledge to manage waste effectively, LSP is paving the way for a more sustainable future for Long Son Commune and beyond.
