to building a system to solve the plastic waste problem entirely.
Speaking at Centara Grand Central Plaza Ladprao Hotel on 16 December 2019, Mr. Noppadol Pinsupa, President of IRPC Public Company Limited (IRPC), together with Professor Sirirurg Songsivilai, M.D., Ph.D., Secretary-General of the National Research Council of Thailand and Associate Professor Peerayuth Charnsethikul, Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Kasetsart University expressed their intention and collaboration “to bring the country to a Zero Plastic Waste Society”.
The objective of this collaboration is to manage plastic waste in the production process. IRPC Eco Solution Model feeds the plastic waste back into the production process (closed loop) and builds a plastic waste platform to collect big data of plastic waste from each partner’s plant. This platform is accessible, results in efficient plastic waste management and promotes 3Rs. All consumers can feel comfortable when using the products made from recycled polymer which is certified for its quality.
IRPC is the first company in Thailand to be certified for “zero plastic waste in the production process”. This certification will leverage Thai plastic industry and can be a model for the other 10 ASEAN countries going forward.
