PDP Thailand - Sea Circular

One of the cornerstones of the SWAT’s Plastic Footprint Reduction Project is reducing the use of plastic and increasing recovery and recycling of plastic waste to support circular economy. It works with companies and organisations all over Thailand to help them to look at their current plastic footprints and to identify plastic hot spots where actions can bring about significant results.

‘Marine plastic pollution is a major global issue, and we need to take action urgently. We hope that these pioneering companies and organisations will go on to be ‘catalysts’ for further transformation in Thailand for years to come’ said Dr Chindarat Taylor, Chair of the Plastic Footprint Reduction Project, Vice President of SWAT and CIWM Fellow.
