GC Collaborates with Sabina on the "Sewing Together to Fight Against Breast Cancer" Project for the 18th Consecutive Year

In a world where no one is truly alone, love and compassion for our fellow humans are essential, especially in times of illness. The "Sewing Together to Fight Against Breast Cancer" project, a collaboration between PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) and Sabina Public Company Limited (SABINA), aims to provide support and reduce the financial burden of purchasing prosthetic breasts for breast cancer patients. GC has supplied LLDPE pure plastic pellets, free from contaminants, as the main raw material for producing prosthetic breasts. Moreover, GC has supplied upcycled fabric from used plastic bottles for volunteers to sew into fabric bags for prosthetic breast sewing kits, with a total of 20,000 sets. Established in 2007, this project has been ongoing for 18 years, with over 257,100 prosthetic breasts distributed nationwide.

Furthermore, to raise awareness and encourage women to regularly check for breast cancer, GC has supported the production of 20,000 Breast Cancer Simulator Pads. These pads are available for free at all Sabina shops, allowing the public to learn how to perform breast self-examinations effectively.
