We can only level this reality through innovation and investment. Any solution other than plastic is more expensive. Sustainable solutions are often the most expensive. More demand will be needed to begin to bring out this truth. Brands can justify the higher costs as part of their marketing budget or by thinking ahead, long term, as a carefully packaged product gets a lot of brand love. more effective than a billboard or a digital campaign.”

 Panel discussion  

Many guests also contributed a lot of opinions to the forum. Mr. T.B. gave an interview to share: “When I came to this conference, I could not understand what sustainability is even though I have heard and learned about the above topic a lot. However, after listening to the speakers speak, present and explain, I feel that this is the content that needs to be developed and mentioned the most in the Vietnamese industry. I hope that after today, I will have more opportunities to participate in VDAS conferences and events.”
Hay shared from a representative of QLM Label Group: “This was really a lively and diverse discussion to explore the complex topics around Sustainability, Design and Packaging. With the idea of ​​no packaging or minimal packaging, who will be responsible for enforcing sustainability: the regulator, the company or the consumer? We are totally addicted to disposable things. How do we counter the competing interests of 'low cost' and 'convenience' to achieve sustainability? The answers of the experts surprised, inspired and challenged me! I was impressed with the number of Vietnamese designers and companies that attended - more than 300 people (amazing). Looking forward to working with these inspirational people to achieve more in Vietnam.”
