The paper examines the nature of the growing Vietnamese economy and its changing structural characteristics and contrasts this with two core elements of official thinking. The first element is the slogan of ‘industrialisation and modernisation’ (IM) and how this sits with the rather fast current growth in the services sectors, given the issues of transitioning through the recently reached ‘middle income status’. The second is that of “a socialist-oriented market economy” (SOME) with reference to its origins, the nature of debates around it and its positive and negative implications for Vietnam's development. Our basic conclusions are that IM is misplaced, as it ignores services and is out-of-date, and the SOME has largely been a somewhat confused and transparent fig-leaf for support for essentially private commercial interests associated with certain state conglomerates. Recent changes around the 2016 XIIth Congress suggest that lessons are being learned by some elements in the ...

The environmental concerns associated with the automotive industry have been rising in recent years, driven by stringent legislation, and increasing customer demands. In response, the sector is gradually transitioning towards a more sustainable approach in the selection of materials. The preference has been for recyclable and bio-based materials. Today, bio-based materials are continually entering the market, with an increased focus on leveraging by-products or waste from other industries to support environmental sustainability and the circular economy. These alternative materials typically consist of a textile substrate that can be modified regarding its composition and often incorporate bio-based coatings as alternatives to petroleum-derived materials. The coating of the textile material can be performed through various direct and indirect methodologies, depending on attributes, economic feasibility, and the desired quality of the final material. Before introducing new materials into the automotive industry, several legislative standards and tests must be satisfied. Moreover, given the increasing need for recycling and product lifecycle consideration, there is a growing pursuit of mono-material approaches to facilitate and improve the recycling of the selected materials. This review explores and summarizes the current sustainability challenges in the automotive industry and highlights the bio-coated materials and alternative strategies currently under exploration.
