Garment manufacturing in Vietnam is set to receive a significant boost with Syre Group—a subsidiary of H&M Group and Vargas—announcing a US$1 billion investment in building a high-tech polyester recycling complex in Binh Dinh province. The project aims to turn Vietnam into the first global hub for fabric recycling using renewable energy and advanced EU–US standards, VN Express is reporting.
Key points:
- Designed capacity: 250,000 tonnes/year, operational by end-2028
- Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh endorsed the project, urging focus on local raw materials such as lotus and jute fibre
- Vietnam chosen for its strong textile industry, green energy infrastructure, and investment environment
This investment positions Vietnam well in circular textile manufacturing, reflecting international interest in the country’s green industrial potential. It signals a major step toward sustainable production, with the potential to reshape global supply chains by integrating waste-to-resource technologies and boosting Vietnam’s reputation regionally in environmentally responsible manufacturing.
