This event presents MM Mega Market’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 and becoming a pioneering wholesaler and retailer with sustainable green innovations.

In particular, we have developed collection points for electronic wastes, paper cartons, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass wastes at MMVN centers nationwide, aiming to raise awareness and encourage customers to join hands in proper waste sorting.
According to Ms. Tran Kim Nga, Corporate Development Director of MM Mega Market:
Raising customer awareness and maintaining the waste-sorting habits is a long-term and persistent effort. Currently, MM Mega Market is a leading retailer in developing a comprehensive waste collection and sorting at-source system, contributing to the efficient recycling cycle for wastes, reducing the number of wastes discharged into the environment, and avoiding soil and groundwater contamination.

In addition, MMVN also organized waste recycling workshops such as decorating glass bottles and plastic bottles, promising to motivate changes in consumption habits and enhance community awareness of recycling.

Joining hands with suppliers reflects MM’s desire to inspire the local community to sort and recycle waste more wisely.
“We believe that waste sorting and recycling are not just a choice, but the responsibility of each individual in the journey to protect this planet. The “Junk in Joy out” is a meaningful social activity and a strong call to the community, especially the younger generation, about the responsibility of building a green lifestyle in Vietnam,” Ms. Tran Kim Nga added.
