BMA and GC develop pet playground equipment from upcycled plastics as part of the Circular Pet Zone by GC YOUTURN Project GC, in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, organized a handover ceremony for pet playground equipment, benches, and an upcycled pathway for the pet zone in the Vachirabenjatas Park (State Railway Public Park) as part of the “Circular Pet Zone by GC YOUTURN: For the Happiness of Your Pets” Project. Thanks to this project, 1,478 kilograms of used plastics otherwise destined for landfills were transformed into useful items, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 1,523 kgCO2e, equivalent to planting 169 trees, and contributing to a public space for pet lovers. The partnership between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and GC was a dedicated effort to raise awareness about proper plastic waste separation and recycling. The playground equipment for pets, park benches, and an upcycled pathway developed under this partnership were produced from discarded stretch plastics and hard-to-recycle multi-layer packaging bags collected through GC YOUTURN, a plastic waste management platform. The project has led to creation of a tangible closed-loop economy and breathed a new life into used plastics, transforming them into facilities that benefit and bring happiness to visitors to the State Railway Public Park and their pets.
