Packaging is crucial for maintaining product quality during transportation and storage, as well as influencing consumers’ decisions. Applying circular economy principles throughout its value chain, ThaiBev has developed a packaging collection system to create recycling opportunities post-consumption, especially with primary packaging materials such as glass, paper, aluminum cans, and PET bottles. Thai Beverage Recycle (TBR), a ThaiBev subsidiary, is dedicated to managing post-consumption packaging.

ThaiBev has made tangible, organization-wide, and time-bound commitments to reduce packaging materials volume and/or weight. We have launched initiatives to increase the use of reusable and recyclable packaging; to phase out disposable plastic packaging; to increase the incorporation of recycled materials into packaging; to ensure that recyclable packaging is recycled; and to allocate research and development resources to sustainable packaging and alternative solutions.
ThaiBev aims to achieve packaging circularity, taking into account all environmentalas well as social impacts. We integrate circular economy concept into its entire packaging value chain, from product design stage to post-consumption packaging management. Key elements of ThaiBev’s management approach towards packaging circularity are:

• Optimization of Packaging Weight and Volume
• Post-consumption Packaging Collection and Sorting
• Reuse and Recycle
• Innovation and Product Design for Sustainable Packaging
• Stakeholder Collaboration
