Mr. Vu Duc Giang, together with the management teams of
Bao Minh Textile Company and
Bao Minh Industrial Zone, welcomed a delegation from the
German Government to explore Vietnam’s transition toward
circular textile production. The visit aimed to strengthen cooperation on technology, recycling, and compliance with emerging European market standards.
Thanks to modern technology, advanced equipment, and a skilled technical team, Bao Minh Textile has partnered with recycled fiber suppliers to develop shirts containing 20–30% closed-loop recycled content (textile-to-textile). Chairman Giang emphasized that Vietnamese textiles play a key role in the global supply chain, with around 90% of products exported to high-end markets, Europe being a priority. The industry is actively preparing to meet new EU regulations, including the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passport (DPP), with the development of domestic recycling infrastructure and recycled raw materials being a strategic priority.
During the visit, the German delegation directly toured high-tech equipment from Germany, Italy, and Japan at Bao Minh’s production facilities. Ms. Gisela Hammerschmidt, head of the delegation, expressed her admiration for Vietnam’s alignment with the European circular textile strategy and the “Sustainable Textile” collection in Bao Minh’s showroom.
Chairman Giang noted: “The shirt I am wearing today contains recycled content. I have been wearing recycled-content garments throughout the year to stay connected with our production capabilities and market requirements.”
He also acknowledged the positive role of development organizations, including GIZ, in helping Vietnamese enterprises accelerate their circular transition and meet global value chain standards: “This is a national-level competitiveness issue for our textile industry in a rapidly changing business environment. We look forward to more practical programs with enterprises, such as the Waste No More initiative, which we are excited to implement together.”
