Market Growth Factors

The government of Vietnam has put in place policies in regards to limiting single-use plastic use, leading to market growth of biodegradable disposables. Decree 08/2022/ND-CP, effective as of January 1, 2026, prohibits the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags smaller than 50cm x 50cm in size. Single-use plastics, non-biodegradable packaging and products that contain plastic microbeads or microfibres will be banned beginning 1 January 2031. National Action Plan for Management of Marine Plastic Litter seeks to reduce the marine plastic litter load to fifty percent by 2025 and to seventy-five percent by 2030, and to eliminate eighty percent single-use plastic products from coastal tourism facilities by 2025 and one hundred percent by 2030. Because the 2020 Environmental Protection Law stipulates Extended Producer Responsibility for recycling, it will begin in 2025. It requires producers and importers to pay for recycling costs. Food service providers must switch over to compostable packaging and sustainable production methods.

Attitudes of consumers are changing about the environment. In 2025, 92.1% of consumers considered the environmental impact from packaging, up from 79.6% in 2024. About 57.4% of consumers were willing to pay more for sustainable food packaging if the price premium was reasonable. Urban millennials and other young consumers are increasingly favoring disposable sustainable food service packaging such as cups, straws and containers. Retailers and food service companies have responded, such as Vinmart with a discount for not taking a plastic bag, Aeon Vietnam's "Bring Your Own Bag" campaign, and Big C's partnership with An Phát Holdings to supply biodegradable bags. The hospitality sector, including Daewoo Hotel, Lotte Hotel, Bảo Sơn Hospital, and Vinpearl Resort, has increased the market by using biodegradable disposables.

Vietnam strongly grows the manufacture of biodegradable food service disposables because foreign direct investment invests directly and local manufacturing capacity manufactures. Trade agreements exist. Low-cost producing exists. Agricultural feedstock exists including rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, cassava starch, and bamboo fiber. Favorable government policies exist. All of this appeals to foreign and domestic companies to invest in modern manufacturing facilities. Investment and technology collaboration improves supply reliability and product quality, with industry events helping align regulation and market needs with practical outcomes. This builds the competitiveness of domestic and export users and fits with circular economy approaches by reducing dependency on imported products.
