BAEMIN launches B2B Mall for eco-friendly packaging

This is part of BAEMIN's sustainability commitment to help build awareness and establish actions for environmental protection among their stakeholders.

Accordingly, the current proposal for strengthened management of plastic waste in Vietnam has been approved by the government in Decision No.1316/QD-TTG. This sets a target of 100 per cent use of environmentally-friendly plastic bags and packaging in department stores and supermarkets for domestic purposes to replace non-biodegradable plastic bags by 2025; assuring the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of 85 per cent of generated waste.

To obtain this goal, in addition to the efforts of the authorities, collaboration among businesses and the positive response of consumers are resolute factors to meet the goal of green and sustainable growth for Vietnam.

To promote sustainable development across the food technology ecosystem, BAEMIN has cooperated with SERVEONE Vietnam – a supplier of safe, recycled packaging solutions to introduce to merchant partners the signature product lines at preferential prices. The products are integrated into the BAEMIN B2B Mall application, which is convenient for merchant partners wishing to replace single-use plastic packaging.

The packaging products supplied by SERVEONE Vietnam are primarily made from bagasse and paper with all the products meeting the need for food delivery services such as trays, rice boxes, bowls, and glasses.
