GC and TPBI Group Join Forces to Advance Plastic Innovation for Sustainability, Driving the Industry Towards Future-Ready Materials
Publish date: 2025-07-04
PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC), a global leader in the plastics and chemical business dedicated to enhancing quality of life, and TPBI Public Company Limited (TPBI Group), Thailand's leading fully integrated packaging manufacturer and exporter trusted by top global clients, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on collaborative innovation for sustainable product development and plastic management under the concept "Innovative Plastics for Sustainability."
This collaboration aims to elevate the standards of plastic research and product development, with a strong focus on minimizing environmental impact at every stage—from material selection and production processes to usage and end-of-life management—creating a truly functional circular economy. This will be realized through joint studies and pilot projects driven by three core focus areas that will help steer industry-wide change:
1. Design for Recyclability – Co-developing packaging that aligns with customers’ recycling demands and global regulatory trends by minimizing the use of complex multi-materials that are difficult to manage at end-of-life.
2. Productivity & Efficiency – Enhancing production processes to boost efficiency, reduce waste and unnecessary costs, and improve product and service quality.
3. Circular Economy – Translating the principles of the circular economy into practical action through product design, material selection, waste management, and influencing sustainable consumer behaviors.
