Core offering

Sài Gòn Xanh is a Vietnamese non-profit environmental organization that conducts physical cleanup of rivers and canals in Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding provinces. Its primary operational offering is the deployment of floating debris barriers (BOM NỔI / Rào chắn rác) made of interconnected floats and nets that intercept plastic and floating waste before it reaches larger water bodies. The organization also mobilizes community volunteers to participate in cleanup events and engages donors and sponsors to fund barrier installations and cleanup activities.

Product overview

Sài Gòn Xanh operates as an environmental protection organization with two core offerings: the BOM NỔI (Floating Barrier) system and the Sài Gòn Xanh mobile application. The BOM NỔI floating barriers represent the primary environmental protection product, consisting of physical barrier systems installed in canals and waterways to intercept and collect floating plastic waste. The mobile application serves as the digital engagement platform, enabling volunteers to participate in cleanup activities, donors to contribute financially via QR codes, and the community to access information about ongoing environmental initiatives. Together, these offerings form a community-based environmental protection ecosystem combining physical cleanup infrastructure with digital engagement tools.
