According to Mr. Hung, formerly, textile manufacturers only had to meet the standard on social responsibility of business, but in the near future, many importers will demand that the enterprises meet additional standards of environmental sustainability, especially the standard green production, wastewater treatment, and recycling of textile waste to ensure that it does not harm the environment.

He added that Vinatex’s goal is that around 30-40 percent of the Group’s businesses achieve sustainable environmental standards by 2020. To achieve this goal, 15 percent of Vinatex’s total investment each year would be invested in attaining environmental sustainability standards, particularly focusing on complete wastewater treatment systems and thermal insulation systems.
