Since October 2022, the collection of used beverage cartons via the VECA app has been extended to 18 districts in Ho Chi Minh City, an increase of 4 districts compared to the first phase. The four districts, namely Tan Phu, Go Vap, Binh Tan and Thu Duc, are among the largest districts of Ho Chi Minh city. Tetra Pak and VECA have established additional collection sites at 10 condominiums in the city.

On September 20th 2022, Tetra Pak published its annual Sustainability Report, highlighting the company’s achievements and progress in the last year and detailing the actions to help realize resilient and sustainable food systems.

A program to collect and recycle used beverage cartons in the community will be piloted in Ho Chi Minh City from August 2022 to March 2023. During this period, the program aims to collect and completely recycle 3,000 tons of beverage cartons, turning them into useful products such as paperboard materials and bio-roof panels.

Tetra Pak, the Sweden-based food processing and packaging solutions company, and Dong Tien Packaging and Paper Co., Ltd have announced a co-investment of 3.5 million euros to upgrade and expand the recycling capacity of used beverage cartons in Vietnam.
