This platform is accessible, results in an efficient plastic waste management and promotes 3Rs. All consumers can feel comfortable when using the products made from recycled polymer which is certified for the quality.
IRPC is the first company in Thailand to be certified for “zero plastic waste in production process”. This certification will leverage Thai plastic industry and can be a model for other 10 ASEAN countries in the near future.
