SCG Chemicals or SCGC, led by Mr. Chatri Eamsobhana, Chief Commercial Officer, has delivered 10,500 food-grade #recycledfoodcontainers to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The food containers are produced from used food containers collected from Bangkok activities and recycled by SCGC into new food containers through Advanced Recycling Technology, resulting in properties equivalent to virgin material and ensuring they are clean, safe, and suitable for food contact. The food containers will be used to package royal-provided meals for the public paying respects to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother at Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall. The handover was received by Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, together with Mr. Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, and Mr. Pornphrom Vikitsreth, Adviser to the Governor of Bangkok, for further distribution by the Social Development Department and the Royal Kitchen, via Ms. Orathai Sakunee, Deputy Director of the Office of Royal Household Supply Division, Bureau of the Royal Household.


The food-grade recycled food containers are a result of collaboration between SCGC and BMA in sorting and collecting used food containers and plastic waste from various Bangkok activities. These materials are processed through Advanced #Recycling Technology into Circular Naphtha, a feedstock for petrochemical production, and further developed into Certified Circular Polyolefin resins under the SCGC #GREENPOLYMER initiative. These resins are safe for food contact and can be used to produce high-quality food containers.



This collaboration promotes a closed-loop plastic #wastemanagement system, ensuring that used plastics are continuously recycled and do not leak into the environment. It also maximizes resource efficiency in line with circular economy principles, supporting Bangkok’s policies on waste separation and landfill reduction, as well as its transition toward a low-carbon city, in alignment with SCGC’s Low Waste, Low Carbon strategy.


Previously, #SCGC also recycled used food containers and used plastic food containers through Mechanical Recycling to produce 150 eco-friendly chairs, which were delivered earlier this year to support various Bangkok activities.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
