Our Projects

A prototype project was conducted with integrative cooperation from multiple sectors within the organization and external agencies to further develop the collection of plastic PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles that have been consumed. These bottles were re-entered the production process as rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) to be reused as PET bottles again. This project could reduce the quantity of plastic bottle packaging landfilled and greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere. It also promotes income back to the communities participating in the project.

The Company has implemented a project in collaboration with ENVICCO Co., Ltd. (“ENVICCO”) to drive the production and development of rPET bottle packaging by sending PET bottle packaging that does not meet the standards from the production process to be transformed into rPET and reused. In addition, the Company has created a collection cycle in collaboration with Phisit Recycle 2020 Co., Ltd. to collect PET bottle packaging from the above production processes and from consumers in the communities surrounding the Ichitan Green Factory in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province to be fed as raw materials to ENVICCO, generating income for businesses in the community.

However, the Company is aware that even though the cost of recycled plastic (rPET) is approximately 30% higher than virgin PET plastic, using rPET to produce beverage packaging reduces negative impacts on the environment in the long run. Therefore, the Company has implemented a collaboration project with Hon Chuan (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of preforms used to mold Ichitan's bottle packaging, to control cost at an appropriate level and be competitive in the beverage business market.
