On the morning of September 20, Long Son Petrochemical Company Limited (LSP) coordinated with the People's Committee of Vung Tau Ward, the People's Committee of Long Son Commune (HCMC), AGC Vietnam Chemical Company Limited, Toan Thang Technical Joint Stock Company, Khanh Linh Equipment & Technical Joint Stock Company and Blue Sea Club to organize the event "International Coastal Cleanup Day 2025" in the Back Beach area.
The event attracted nearly 700 volunteers, including LSP staff and partners, students, workers and local officials, to join hands in cleaning up 2.3 km of coastline, contributing to protecting the marine ecosystem and spreading the message of responsibility for environmental protection.
Mr. Chitchanop Ekkamonrat, Maintenance Director of LSP, shared that every year, millions of tons of waste are dumped into the ocean, leaving serious consequences on the marine ecosystem, harming human health. The annual coastal cleanup event affirms efforts and solidarity, emphasizing the importance of action...
After collection, all the waste was sorted. Recycled waste was sold to local scrap collection facilities. This amount was donated to the People's Committee of Vung Tau Ward to support environmental protection activities. This is part of LSP's key sustainable development program called "Waste Rescue Mission", which aims to encourage the sorting of recyclable waste in Long Son commune, initiated in 2020. The program has helped bring more than 24,000 kg of recycled waste back into the production process. Currently, the program has been deployed in households, schools, military units and offices in Long Son commune, as well as at LSP's workplace.
In addition to the clean-up activities, LSP has also piloted a project to recycle old fishing nets, turning them into innovative products, thereby recycling additional income for local people and at the same time cleaning the ocean. “International Coastal Clean-up Day” is an annual global event to encourage people to collect trash on the coast and in waterways.
