If we want to achieve success, we need to know when and how to seize opportunities, quickly adapt to the constant change, along with determination and relentless efforts.
A Pioneer in the trend of “Going Green” in Vietnam
Since 2015, white pollution (caused by plastic bags and waste) has turned into an alarming problem around the world. There are more than 9.1 billion tons of plastic waste in the environment. Plastic wastes, even being collected in landfill, are still a serious risk factor for human and animal health.
Facing the situation of "white pollution", Mr Duong was concerned about the environment as well as the future of the plastic industry. At that time, An Phat Holdings was the leading mono-layer packaging manufacturer in Southeast Asia. However, in order to develop the alternatives for plastic bags and other disposable plastic products, An Phat decided to implement a new project to manufacture fully compostable AnEco environmentally friendly products.
This was considered as a bold step by An Phat Holdings when investing in production lines and input materials due to the high opportunity cost. Compostable materials (PLA) derived from starch is quite scarce and more expensive than conventional plastic raw materials. Therefore, the price of compostable products will be higher than conventional plastic products. In addition, it is not easy to change consumers' purchasing behavior when the market is still cautious about compostable products.
As a result, this was a difficult problem for Mr Duong to find solutions for. However, due to Mr. Duong’s concerns about for the negative impacts of plastic wastes on the lives and health of future generations, he was even more determined. The bravery of the businessman is shown by never giving up even in the most difficult situations.
Besides finding solutions to solve the puzzle of high compostable product prices by cutting production costs, breaking even or even suffering a loss, An Phat Holdings persistently persuaded each supermarkets, shops and consumers in order to change their habits from using conventional plastic and disposable products into environmentally friendly products. Thus, AnEco products are currently available in several major market globally such as Europe and the United States. In Vietnam, AnEco products are being distributed in big supermarket chains such as Big C, Lotte Mart, Co.op Mart and Mega Market. Big businesses such as Lotte Hotel, Daewoo Hotel, Starbucks, The Coffee House or Vinamilk has also started using AnEco products. Nothing worth having comes easy. An Phat Holdings' success today is created by the persistence and the relentless efforts of the whole organization.
Sustainable Development
On July 28, 2020, An Phat Holdings was officially listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE). According to Chairman Pham Anh Duong, through this IPO, An Phat Holdings Group will seize cooperation opportunities to attract new investors, bring potential opportunities for domestic and foreign investors as well as raising capital to build the first compostable material manufacturing plant in Vietnam called AnBio.
Being able to manufacture its own compostable raw materials will help An Phat Holdings become both a finished product manufacturer and a supplier for “green” raw materials. As a result, An Phat Holdings’ compostable products will reach the hands of more customers in Vietnam and all around the world.
