GC has partnered with ALPLA Company, a world-class manufacturer of high quality recycled plastic pellets to establish a joint venture company, ENVICCO Limited Company, to be the first to produce high quality food grade rPET and rHDPE plastic in Thailand. ENVICCO utilizes mechanical recycling technology to produce a variety of packaging and products. ENVICCO is also determined to seek and develop new technologies to add value to used plastics in more comprehensive and diverse ways. For example, ENVICCO has collaborated with Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) in a project to study the feasibility of adding value to contaminated plastic waste through chemical recycling technology. These plastics can be used as fuel or raw material in the chemical industry. ENVICCO also utilizes Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) channels to access cutting-edge technologies or innovations, such as Plasma Gasification or Plastic Composites, and use them to extend or strengthen the company's recycling business in the future, with the goal of creating added value for at least 75,000 tonnes of used plastic per year in 2025.
GC Revolutionizes Circular Resource Management with the Opening of ENVICCO – Southeast Asia’s Largest High-Quality and Food-Grade Recycled Plastic Resin Plant, Aiming to Reduce Used Plastics in Thailand by 60,000 Tons/Year.
