Expand community-based recycling in Thailand

Project Report | Apr 6, 2026
Quarterly report: Q12026

By Dominic Chakrabongse | Vice President

We continue to conduct regular plastic-recycling workshops and community engagement activities at our workspace in Bangkok. These attract a wide variety of community members keen to learn more about plastic recycling.

Ford Community Center (FCC): Hosted both volunteer sorting sessions and serves as a regular venue for PPB community events at Satrijulanak School.
Nextopia / Siam Paragon: New retail partnership enabling PPB workshops and cap donation activities in a high-footfall commercial venue.
ECCA Family Foundation: Continuing three-year partnership supporting community outreach and R&D capacity expansion.
Ford Philanthropy: Ongoing programme funder supporting community-based recycling initiatives.
Nang Loeng community: Local food and beverage provider for volunteer events, reinforcing PPB’s community embeddedness.
Drop-off network: Over 100 active drop-off locations across Bangkok and surrounding areas continue to feed the plastic supply chain.

Looking ahead to Q2 2026:

Continued monthly volunteer cap-sorting sessions at the Ford Community Center.
Possible participation in Bangkok-based sustainability events or green markets (e.g., So Green Market, SWAP UP Festival, or similar).
PPB Newbie Workshops (bracelet, keychain, or Bloomie Pot formats) for public participants.
Ongoing community product development with network partners across Thailand.
Potential school-based educational workshops as the academic calendar resumes.
