Forum promotes development of smart and sustainable industrial parks

Published

on

The Vietnam Industrial Park Forum 2024, themed “The Era of Rising for Vietnam Industrial Park”, was officially held in Ho Chi Minh City on December 19.

Sponsored by IDH (Netherlands) and the Vietnam Industrial Real Estate Association (VIREA), the forum was organised by the Vietnam Industrial Zone portal (VIZ).

Currently, the country has about 400 industrial parks and export processing zones. The conversion of industrial parks towards green, high-tech, and environmentally friendly production is being promoted in order to meet Vietnam’s commitment to achieve zero net emissions by 2050.

The model of industrial parks and economic zones has affirmed its increasingly important position, contributing to improving the business environment and enhancing competitiveness as a solution to attract domestic and foreign investment resources.

Thereby, it has promoted the process of industrialisation and modernisation of the country and making positive contributions to Vietnam’s achievements in growth, development, and integration into the world economy.

However, the development of industrial parks in recent times has also revealed some limitations.

According to Nguyen Chi Toan, Vice Chairman of VIREA, the forum gathered many large-scale and professional industrial park infrastructure development units across the country.

As such, the organising committee hopes to receive many common shares and contributions for the purpose of building a more complete and clearer legal framework, together proposing feasible criteria to develop a new generation of industry in the direction of green-smart-sustainable development across the country.

At the forum, speakers and experts focused on exchanging and discussing about policies and laws, infrastructure transformation for sustainable development, promoting FDI investment, finance and capital markets, labour and employment, and ESG practices (environment-social-governance) in industrial parks.

At the same time, the participants shared experiences in implementing sustainable smart industrial park models, proposing solutions to contribute policies to transform Vietnam’s industrial parks from traditional models to sustainable smart industrial parks in the context of the country’s rising era and the world’s green transformation towards net zero emissions.

The forum has expanded its audience not only to industrial park investors but also to the fields of construction, construction materials, and finance, which are direct and indirect components contributing to the construction and development of ecological and sustainable industrial parks.

The Vietnam Industrial Park Forum 2024 aims to enhance dialogue and cooperation in the field of industrial park development and is also a place to create a bridge between domestic and international investors, enterprises, and state management agencies.

The Forum is also a place to connect industrial parks with investors and financial institutions to seek financial resources for sustainable projects.

At the same time, the event also promotes cooperation between government agencies, localities, international organisations, industrial parks and manufacturers to promote sustainable growth in industrial production in order to meet the common standards of manufacturing enterprises and large investors in the world.

In an extraordinary achievement, Winner Medical has reached a significant milestone by selling over 12.9 billion pieces of its innovative Winner 100% cotton face towels globally in 2024.

NEW YORK, March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In an extraordinary achievement, Winner Medical has reached a significant milestone by selling over 12.9 billion pieces of its innovative Winner 100% cotton face towels globally in 2024. These ultra soft face towels are designed to improve skin health and have proven effective in reducing allergies and redness within just four weeks of use. This solidifies the company’s position as the pioneer of 100% cotton face towels globally.

Part of this sales growth stems from a shift in consumer habits. A study found that 71% of people experience sensitive skin to some extent. Increasing awareness of sensitive skin issues in many countries, including the US, has boosted demand for products designed for sensitive skin. This trend includes a shift towards using gentle cleansing products and supplies. As a result, traditional towels, now often perceived as breeding grounds for millions of microbes even when they appear clean, are being replaced by softer cotton towels that are gentler on sensitive skin.

Winner Medical’s patented cotton spun-lace nonwoven technology, derived from advanced medical innovations, is the key to creating the Winner 100% cotton face towels. The exclusive use of natural cotton fibers further enhances the quality of the face towels, delivering a gentle and refreshing face-cleansing experience to users.

Renowned for their exceptional moisture, softness and absorption, natural cotton-made face towels serve as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials and paper products, which often contribute to deforestation. This sustainable choice ensures that quality remains uncompromised, offering superior skincare benefits while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Each Winner 100% cotton face towel provides an ultra-soft experience. The indulgence of pure cotton gently caresses the skin, ensuring a refreshing and gentle cleanse with every use, which has garnered acclaim for its effectiveness in improving skin conditions such as dryness and irritation.

Professional Assessments and Customer Feedback Validate Performance

Professional evaluations have underscored the efficacy of the Winner 100% cotton face towels. Clinical report from PULYN Research institute reveals substantial enhancements following the use of the product. Notably, after four weeks (or 28 days) of use, there is a reduction in skin damage, exceeding 33%, alongside a decrease in irritation scores by around 30%. The improvement rate for redness is particularly impressive, standing at 84%, while dryness scores show an enhancement of over 72%. These statistics underscore the product’s potential to enhance skincare routines, offering a more effective approach to addressing common concerns during skin cleansing.

In addition to professional evaluations, consumer feedback reflects high satisfaction levels.

Users have praised the performance of these disposable face towels, noting their thickness and ease of use, which help prevent bacterial contamination post-wash—crucial for acne-prone skin types. Another long-term user commended that the extra-large size ensures comprehensive coverage for cleansing while highlighting the towel’s soft texture that efficiently removes impurities without harshness.

As Winner Medical continues to innovate within the healthcare sector, its focus remains on providing products that combine sustainability with high efficiency. The company anticipates maintaining growth trends as more consumers become aware of the benefits offered by using all-natural, single-use cotton face towels.
