GC Delivers Biodegradable Plastic Bags to Support “Don’t Mix” Waste Separation Project
Feb Tue 2023
February 14, 2023, the Thai Bioplastics Industry Association (TBIA), led by Mr. Wiboon Phungprasert, President of the Thai Bioplastics Industry Association, along with member companies of the association, including representatives from PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC), met with Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, to deliver 40,000 bioplastic waste bags in support of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s “Don’t Mix” waste separation project.
GC, as one of the members of TBIA, supported this initiative by providing compostable bioplastics resin to produce bioplastic waste bags, which were delivered to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration through TBIA.
The bioplastic waste bags can be used to separate food waste in households and shops. When composted together with food scraps and leaves, they decompose into soil conditioner and bio-fertilizer within 180 days. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will use these bags for food waste separation.
Currently, 3 districts have begun piloting the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s waste separation project, with plans to expand to other districts in the future.
