Welcome to a future where your everyday products come wrapped in the embrace of sustainability, as Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (affectionately known as Kao) joins forces with the gurus of green packaging, SCG Chemicals Co., Ltd. (SCGC), and the titans of transformation, Dow Thailand Group (Dow). Picture this: you pick up your favorite household cleaner and smile, not just at its sparkling promise but also at its reimagined, earth-hugging packaging. This dream inches closer to reality as these industry heavyweights ink a hopeful Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), right in the innovation hub of True Digital Park West.
Imagine Attack, Biore, Haiter, Laurier, and Magiclean in your homes—and now picture them adorned in the greenest of garbs. Kao, hailing from Japan with allegiance to both quality and Mother Earth, plans to roll out these eco-friendly armor for its beloved products in Thailand. The ceremonial pens danced over the MoU document before an audience that included Kao’s captain in Thailand Yuji Shimizu; SCGC’s eco-warrior Pisan Uawithya; and Dow’s own president Chatchai Luanpolcharoenchai.
In a gleeful address, Kao’s leader Shimizu-san shared, “Kao is thrilled to join hands with SCGC and Dow, the alchemists of green innovation. Together, we will sculpt sustainable packaging rooted in the four golden R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Replace. This aligns beautifully with our Kirei Lifestyle Plan. We have a gaze set firmly on the horizon of 2040, where our footprint vanishes into thin air, taking us to the zenith of zero carbon emissions. Along the way, we’re transforming energy use across our production realms and reimagining the lifecycle of our products. Not to mention, our vision of a world where plastic waste is nothing but a distant memory.”
SCGC’s Pisan Uawithya chimes in with equal joy, “SCGC is treading steadily on the path of sustainability. We’re weaving business success with the threads of a circular economy. We bring to this table our trove of green solutions, all eager to cater to those who hold the environment close to their hearts. With our SCGC GREEN POLYMER™ innovations, we’re crafting bottles and bags that echo the mantras of Reduction, Recyclability, Recycling, and Renewability, painting a greener tomorrow for Kao’s amazing range of products.”
Dow’s Chatchai Luanpolcharoenchai smiles with his team’s eagerness to contribute, stating, “Dow is buzzing with the passion to help our partners like Kao to diminish carbon whispers and plastic ghosts through the lens of the circular economy. We’re well equipped to elevate Kao’s packaging into realms of flexibility and sustainability. With Dow Pack Studio’s ingenuity and our suite of plastics like INNATE, ELITE, DOWLEX, and Dow PCR (REVOLOOP), we’re ready to redefine recyclability, ushering in a chapter of minimal environmental touch and maximum consumer satisfaction.”
Together, they’re spinning a tale of innovation and conscious craftsmanship. The resultant avatar of materials will kiss the earth ever so lightly while keeping their silent vow to protect and serve the cherished products within. From rigid bastions like bottles to the supple shields of bags, these guardians of goodness won’t just impress; they’ll inspire. It’s a pact that will propel Kao toward its 2050 carbon neutrality nirvana, ably supported by SCGC and Dow’s own vows of environmental kindness. And what’s more? It’s all unfolding under the watchful skies of Thailand, where the future looks not just bright but brilliantly sustainable.
