The project aims to achieve sustainability by leveraging solar energy andwind power and implementing wastewater reuse in production processes to driveeconomic prosperity.

Covering an area of 250ha, the project encompasses an eco-park model thatemphasises circular economic principles, asset conservation, and the creationof a green, clean, and aesthetically pleasing environment. The project will be strategically situated across thefour communes of Nhan Thang, Binh Duong, Thai Bao, and Van Ninh in the districtof Gia Binh.
