GC presented an exhibition themed “Good Balance, Better World,” showcasing green innovations developed to cater to megatrends for a better quality of life for all, advance high-value and low-carbon businesses, and foster growth alongside decarbonization efforts to achieve Net Zero by 2050. The highlight of GC’s exhibition was “Plastic Funtastic,” a machine that breathed a second life into used plastics and turned water bottle caps into chic key chains, fostering awareness of recovering and repurposing used plastics to give them added value. The machine drew large crowds, including young children, students, and the general public, all through the duration of the event, which was held on G Floor of Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The Food and Drug Administration under the Ministry of Public Health certified PCR PET, the InnoEco brand by ENVICCO, a company under GC, making it the first PCR in Thailand to be FDA-certified. This certification assures its safety for use in food-grade packaging and containers. This newly certified resin is also used in Pepsico’s revamped bottles, which are made 100% from the PCR PET. The certification of ENVICCO’s PCR PET, which was previously certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), underscores its quality and offers assurance to all consumers that it is hygienic, free of contaminants and chemical residues, and thus safe for use. Suntory Pepsico Beverage (Thailand) Company Limited partnered with the Property Management of Chulalongkorn University (PMCU) and ENVICCO to hold an official press conference for “Pepsi Recycled PET Bottle Campaign” to announce their readiness in being the first company in the carbonated beverage market to utilize bottles made from 100% recycled plastics (100% rPET bottles), which were launched in April 2023 under the campaign “Samnuek Saa Glaa Plien Puea Loke” (Fizzy Conscience- Daring to Change for the World). The initiative affirmed the company’s status as the leading carbonated drink brand that continuously sets new trends for consumers and at the same time promoted its image as a popular brand among younger environmentally conscious generations. ENVICCO’s InnoEco PCR PET and PCR HDPE are gained trust from brand owners for beverage packaging and household items 24
