Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) has teamed up with Precious Plastic Bangkok to launch “Recycle & Upcycling”, a joint initiative that aims to turn plastic bottle caps into valuable products by embracing Thailand's bio-circular-green (BCG) economic model. This effort is part of “Trap the Sea Trash”, which aims to raise awareness about marine waste issues and generate additional income for the residents in Bang Ya Phraek sub-district, Samutsakorn province. According to Mrs. Kobboon Srichai, Head of Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations at CP Foods, the company is committed to conducting business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. CP Foods is collaborating with Precious Plastic Bangkok to transfer knowledge to the local community where the company has carried on the ongoing Trap the Sea Trash project in order to foster job creation, income generation, and sustainable practices from waste-to-value activities adhering to the BCG model.

                 The project's main activity involves recycling and upcycling plastic bottle caps. By working closely with communities in Bang Ya Phraek sub-district, marine trash has been collected and converted into valuable products, such as pen holders and plant pots, which are sold through community enterprises. Additionally, CP Foods encourages its employees and the general public to participate in the project by providing 15 drop-off locations for plastic bottle caps at its operations and partners in Samutsakorn, Ratchburi, and Bangkok.
