July 14, 2023 October 18, 2023 December 6, 2023 ENVICCO, a company under GC Group and a leader in the high-quality and safe PCR industry, partnered with Coca-Cola (Thailand) to introduce packaging made from 100% recycled plastic, excluding labels and bottle caps. The first packaging rolled out was the 1-liter bottles for Coke Original and Coke Zero Sugar. To produce these bottles, post-consumer recycled PET bottles collected from partner groups and processed through various processes into high-quality recycled plastic pellets, with properties comparable to new virgin plastic resin, under the InnoEco brand. This is achieved through modern recycling technologies and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes from Europe, making it possible to 100% trace the origin of used plastic. Additionally, the PCR Pet meets international safety standards of the USFDA, EFSA Europe, and the Thai FDA, making it Thailand’s first PCR to be certified safe for food contact. GC takes great pride in being part of the solution to Thailand’s waste management challenge through sustainable resource management. GC, in collaboration with I.P. ONE and Alpla, joined the launch of “Vixol: Transformative Innovation for Sustainable World.” For the first time ever in Thailand, discarded colored plastics from households were recycled into bottles for Vixol products, beginning with “VIXOL POWER Black,” thus creating a closed loop system for sustainable plastic packaging production, with over 20 million bottles produced per year. VIXOL is a brand under I.P. One. The company partnered with ENVICCO and Alpla Packaging (Thailand) Co., Ltd., to develop innovations to enable the reuse of VIXOL bottles, which are colored HDPE ones. The bottles collected from households are sorted, recycled into postconsumer recycled HDPE (PCR HDPE), and remolded into bottles, thus preventing them from becoming waste and leaking into the ecosystem. GC participated in the launch of Minere’s new eco-friendly water bottles, which were also the first in Thailand’s drinking water market, and collaborated with Nestle in the “Bottles Made From Bottles” Project, where Minere drop-off boxes were installed to collect used PET plastic bottles from consumers. The bottles will be forwarded to ENVICCO’s plant for cleaning, shredding, and melting into PCR PET pellets, certified for quality, safety, and cleanliness by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Thailand. These pellets are then molded into Minere’s eco-friendly bottles, safe, clean, and free from contaminants, creating a closed-loop for plastic bottles and enabling them to be reused as new packaging. Everyone can participate in this initiative and contribute to the sustainability of the world by dropping off used plastic bottles at the Minere bins located at 50 branches of 7-Eleven across Bangkok. 25 PTT GLOBAL CHEMICAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED Form 56-1 One Report 2023
