The event is organized by Tuoi Tre (Youth) online newspaper in coordination with the Department of Climate Change under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the Vietnam Packaging Recycling Alliance (PRO Vietnam), and other partners.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore environmentally friendly products, sustainable production models and green transformation initiatives from more than 40 organizations and businesses across various sectors.

The exhibition will also showcase practical solutions for conserving resources, reducing environmental impacts and encouraging responsible consumption.

Recycling waste for gifts, exploring green initiatives

One of the festival's main attractions will be a recycling-for-gifts program, in which visitors can bring recyclable materials to exchange for gifts, including ornamental succulents, vegan cosmetics from Cocoon, dairy products from TH true MILK and Dutch Lady, and other items provided by participating partners.

Interactive stations will also offer games and activities through which participants can learn about environmental protection and receive gifts.

Under the 'Green Passport – Vietnam Green' program, visitors can complete tasks at five green stations, earn points for verified activities and receive gifts in accordance with the program's rules.

The activities are designed to encourage participants to learn about environmental issues, put green practices into action and gradually turn them into everyday habits.

At a quiz station, participants can test their knowledge of waste sorting, identify different types of waste and learn how to dispose of them properly.

Visitors can also take part in activities and interact with exhibitors for opportunities to enter lucky draws and win environmentally friendly gifts.

According to the organizers, more than 17,000 gifts will be available throughout the festival. These include a VinFast electric scooter worth VND35 million (US$1,370) and two Philips desk lamps, each valued at VND5 million ($195).
