Upcycling for the home

Upcycling for the home

Listed property firm Sansiri Plc and Petrochemical firm PTT Global Chemical Plc or GC are raising the bar in terms of how companies can show more responsibility for the environment with the launch of the “Green Society” programme.

 

 


Based on the circular Eeconomy concept, the agreement between Sansiri and GC as well as other business partners will lead to the creation of sustainable utilities and furniture to be used in Sansiri's real estate projects.
GC and Sansiri will lead the way in creating such durable products as water tanks made from GC's high-quality plastic resins, non-VOC solvent for decorative paint suitable for indoor and outdoor use, construction materials like wood composite and furnishing products made from recycled plastic for both indoor and outdoor use. GC will also bring recycled polyester from the Upcycling by GC project to display at the Sansiri show unit alongside bioplastic utensils that are biodegradable, GC's chief operating officer Patiparn Sukorndhaman said on Tuesday.
The partnership stems from a shared vision and business goal that focuses on sustainability, natural resources reduction and care for the environment. Both companies are committed to creating a better quality of life for Thais people. From today onwards, furniture made from the innovative upcycling process will be on display at the show units of 32 real estate projects by Sansiri. These projects, built under the concept of Green & Well-Being, include Burasiri Ratchaphruek – 345 and The Line Phahonyothin Park. The furniture will soon go on display at Siri House Soi Somkid, Bangkok’s newest lifestyle and cultural hub by Sansiri; and The Cloud, a new lifestyle space with a concept of “A Healthy Leisure Space” on the 3rd floor of Siam Paragon. Sansiri residents who are interested in using this sustainable furniture, will be able to buy it through the Homestore on Sansiri Home Service Application later this year, Sansiri’s chief operating officer Uthai Uthaisangsuk said.
With this programme, Sansiri will help reduce as much as 664 kilograms of CO2 or equivalent to 74 tons of trees in the first phase of the project, Uthai added.
