responsibly manage products after they become waste. For businesses with little capital,

Establishing a robust eco-labeling system helps consumers identify and choose green
products more easily. Consumers' expectations of businesses regarding practical
initiatives and actions to improve the environment are very high. About 38% of

the next three to five years to help Vietnam achieve its climate targets. Encouraging
private sector investment is crucial. This can be achieved through policy interventions,
risk-sharing mechanisms, and capacity building for the private sector. For example, the
