We also seek to address megatrends and sustainability issues of the world by fostering participation across all sectors and play an active role in advancing a low-carbon society and the goal of Net Zero emissions in order to maintain the world’s ecological balance and pass on a sustainable future to the next generations. ENVICCO, a manufacturer of high-quality food-grade PCR PET and PCR HDPE for packaging, reduced over 22,000 tons of waste in Thailand in 2023 by using it as raw materials in place of virgin resin and contributed 46,900 tCO2e* in avoided emissions, equivalent to planting forests covering an area of 49,370 rai**. In 2023, GC YOUTURN Platform, in collaboration with partners, collected over 352 tons of used plastic bottles, which were recycled and upcycled into creative products, used in place of virgin resin. GC has carried out an upcycled walkway development project in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to create an eco-friendly public space. The use of post-consumer plastics in place of virgin resin reduced the amount of landfilling by 4,500 kg and contributed 4,700 kgCO2e in avoided emissions, equivalent to planting 495 trees. * Including GHG Scope 3 (Upstream) ** Clean Forest Development Mechanism Project Handbook, TGO, 2011
