My Hung Trade & Production Ltd Com is a private company established in 2006, specialized in producing all kinds of plastic bags providing for local market. At first, the Company was family-scale factory, internal producing and selling products as well as processing plastic products based on customer’s orders. Gradually, The Company developed to become My Hung Trade & Production Ltd Com.

With the Company, the main pollution sources from the production process are: temperature, noise, air emissions, wastewater and solid wastes. Averagely, to produce 1 ton product, the Company discharges 7.45 m3 wastewater from washing and cutting stages (in which BOD and COD parameters are of high value) and 80kg solid wastes (include dust, solid wastes, spilled plastics, burnt plastic and plastic scraps). Besides, the exhaust fumes, including coal fumes, dust from brazier used to dry materials, dust from plastic flux, can pollute the environment.

Perceiving the importance of applying CP to improve production performance and solve environmental issues, the Company has actively participated in the CP demonstration project of the Cleaner Production in Industry Component since 2007

The Company has set up a CP team to review and assess the whole production process, identify obstacles and analyse solutions to save energy and resources. The Team  has cooperated with CP expert to focus the assessment on the production line of second class plastic bags. This was the main production line of the company, which consumed the most materials and energy as well as caused the most poluted.

The team has proposed 21 CP solutions. Some of those were applied and brought the following benefits.
