1)Support development of implementation guidelines of the national policy on plastic waste management;
2)Support to strengthening recycling capacity at target municipalities/councils through reinforcing the value chain system, including provision of necessary equipment and pilot implementation of the guidelines on plastic waste management
3)Demonstration of circular economy and resource efficiency practices, including recycling system and innovative technology, at pilot companies or institutions to showcase their benefits.
