There’s a new eco-friendly initiative in Thailand. Thantawan Industry Plc, a leading plastic manufacturer and developer of innovative products, is focusing on producing eco-friendly products in support of the Thai government’s bio-, circular, and green (BCG) economic development initiatives.

 

The company’s garbage bags, made from recycled plastic beads, and straws, which are made from biodegradable materials, are aimed at helping Thailand better manage its plastic waste, according to Ekaphol Pongstabhon, the chief executive of Thantawan Industry. He said…

 

“We are the first Thai company to receive a green label from the Thailand Environment Institute for our Sunstraw Green PE. The label indicates this product supports the campaign to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.”

 

Green PE refers to bio-based polyethene made from sugar cane, a renewable raw material, Bangkok Post reported.

 

Thantawan started launching green products last year and will continue to develop new ones as the world becomes increasingly informed of environmental issues.

 

The development of environmentally friendly products is in line with the company’s business plans.

 

Currently, 80 to 85% of the company’s total revenue comes from exports, while the remainder is generated by sales in the domestic market. Ekaphol said…

So, they are recycling biodegradeable waste. From what source?
