The harvesting of aquatic plants such as reeds in wetlands was linked to community-based handicraft manufacturing initiatives, which was judged to be an appropriate example of a biomass-based resource-circulating economy. Another example is the attempt to establish a non-governmental organization for public participation in municipal waste recovery. Waste recovery programmes in megacities like Bangkok (Chapter 4-5) need collaboration among industries, government, collection service providers, engineering firms and residents. The waste fund of Ho Chi Minh City, established by academia’s commitment in recent years, launched coordination activities for collaboration for waste recovery.
