They're Pioneers In Enshrining Green Values Into Everything They Do

NAME : Chamaiporn Uerpairojkit

COMPANY : TPBI

POSITION : CEO

LOCATION : Nakhon Pathom, Thailand

For the past decade, governments across the world have progressively increased restriction and regulation on single-use plastic bags in retail and supermarket settings. So, while it wasn’t particularly surprising for the Thai government to announce in January 2020 that single-use plastic bags would be phased out, the move still sent shock waves through much of Bangkok’s petrochemical industry. The business was highly lucrative, so suppliers and distributors scrambled to rethink plans and switch their production plants towards reusable bags and biodegradable packaging. They didn’t have long, as the process began at the beginning of 2021.

However, the move was welcomed by plastics giant TPBI, which said the ruling would cause it minimal impact as it was already three years into a major realignment of its business objectives towards more environmentally sustainable products. In fact, since 2018, it’s been one of the only companies in the world that’s internationally certified to produce reusable bags from recycled plastic ones.

Its product range includes reusable bags, vest carrier bags, household garbage bags and fashion bags, as well as its strong and flexible stretch hood film for pallet packing with world-class technology, various grades of packaging and biodegradable bags.
