Introduction

UNDP Viet Nam is looking for 01 qualified consultancy firm/institute/organization to conduct a baseline assessment and monitor piloted intervention along the plastic value chain of a designated recycler to replicate Harmonized Responsible Sourcing Initiative.

Viet Nam is facing pressing issues of plastic pollution, with a staggering amount of 2.9 million tons of plastic waste generated each year. However, only a small portion of plastic recyclables were sorted for recycling, or even lost during the recycling process, ending up in the environment. This harms the environment and human health, especially related to air and soil contamination. Despite of a large amount of plastic waste generation, Viet Nam has still lost 75% (equivalent to US$2.9 billion) of the material value of plastic each year, showing the failure in plastic waste collection, sorting, and recycling. These situations raise the necessity of holistic solutions addressing the whole life cycle of plastic or mobilizing resources from various sectors along the plastic value chain, potentially involving interventions and initiatives for reducing, redesigning, removing, reusing, recycling, and recovering (6Rs).

With the support from the TCCF partnership, the RSI will be expanded the project sites from Southern to Northern Viet Nam, aiming to increase stakeholder participation, including recycler, aggregators and informal waste workers (IWWs), in the local plastic value chain; along with increase the volume of responsibly collected plastic waste while encouraging adoption of the RSI framework.

The objective of this assignment is to conduct a baseline survey, including gender-responsive information, to assess current status, gaps and opportunities and to provide M&E for implementing the responsible sourcing framework in the plastic value chain of a designated recycler.
