Petrochemical plants keen to up quantity

- LAMONPHET APISITNIRAN

Petrochemical factories want to promote a circular economy by stepping up efforts to recycle plastic waste, says the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).

Aiming to build business sustainability, a circular economy encourages entrepreneurs to reduce waste by upcycling unwanted materials to make value-added products.

The FTI's Petrochemical Industry Club wants to make use of plastic waste and increase the number of high value-added products, said club chairman Apichai Chareonsuk.

"The club has 28 petrochemical companies as members. They are determined to carry out business sustainability plans under Thailand's Roadmap on Plastic Waste Management," he said.
