Vietnam's Paper and Packaging Industry Advocates Sustainable Development at VPPE 2025
Go checking out the wild world of sustainable paper production at VPPE 2025 in Binh Duong!
pack your bags, folks! It's time to head to the southern province of Binh Duong for the International Paper and Packaging Exhibition (VPPE 2025) – y'all gonna get your eco-friendly fix and more! Set up at the WTC Expo in Thu Dau Mot City from May 7, this shindig, organized by the Packaging Association, is all about smart, planet-friendly manufacturing.
Over 250 booths packed with nearly 500 brands from a whopping 15 countries and territories will take you on a guided tour of top-shelf tech in the paper and packaging sector. Expect a whole mess of automated machinery, roller coaster-like paper production lines, blazing fast offset printers, water cleanin' systems, and the greenest, sweetest chemicals for those paper surfaces.
To make it truly international, heavy hitters like Konica Minolta, Andritz, Pulppy, OKI, Polystron are bringing it, along with local legends – Liksin, An Lac Labels, Khai Tue, MCCAL, Sunrise – to highlight Vietnam's growing appeal as an alternative manufacturing hot spot, especially as multinationals start gunning for a fresh angle outside of China.
Sounding the opening whistle, Buì Minh Trí, Vice Chairman of Binh Duong People's Committee, pointed out how VPPE 2025 isn't just a chance to attract investment and propel supporting industries, but it's also an opportunity for businesses to get in on the green production craze and boost their worth and game in the biz world.
Binh Duong takes the crown in industrial development across Vietnam, with almost 30 industrial parks and over 4,100 foreign-invested enterprises. The packaging industry – particularly paper packaging – plays a massive role in supporting key export heavyweights like textiles, footwear, electronics, food, and furniture. The demand for biodegradable and recyclable packaging is skyrocketing like a bar chart on steroids.
In addition to the exhibition, VPPE 2025 hosts educational sesh on all things digital transformation, energy conservation, export packaging regulations, and green transitions within supporting industries. It also features a conference on sustainable progress in the wake of increasingly stringent environmental protections and origin-tracing standards under new-generation FTAs.
A crowd favorite is the Packaging Awards 2025, which shines a spotlight on creativity, recycled materials, and efficiency-boosting techniques, supporting budding businesses in the bustling multi-billion-dollar market.
At the event, numerous domestic companies have penned cooperation agreements and are on the hunt for suppliers that meet international quality standards, serving both local and global tastes.
With steady growth on the horizon and a national net-zero goal by 2050, Vietnam's paper and packaging industry aims to wow 'em with investments in recycling, bio-based pulp, and circular economy models. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is estimating that exports of paper and related products will reach $2 billion in 2024, and might increase by 10-12 percent annually over the next five years. The paper packaging sector alone is forecasted to reach a market value of $3.5 billion by 2026, thanks to the shift away from plastic and the rise of online shopping.
