YOUTURN: Turning plastic waste into valuable products
Turning plastic waste into valuable products. Easily drop-off plastic waste at any YOUTURN drop points for clean plastic.

‘YOUTURN PLATFORM’ is a plastic waste management platform that opens up opportunities for everyone to comprehensively create value from plastic waste together. With the “YOUTURN– starts from you” concept, GC, in collaboration with civil sector organizations, is helping to make it easier for people to bring plastic waste to YOUTURN’s Physical and Digital Drop-off Points for sorting and transport to ENVICCO, GC’s world-class recycling plants or the standardized recycling plants of its partners. As a result of the project, plastic waste is being recycled and upcycled, transformed into value-added products.
In addition, the platform also uses a digital solution to collect plastic waste management data including the type of plastic waste and the amount of plastic waste collected into the recycling process that is transformed into new products. This will help in expanding its use with the key goal being to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing the impacts that cause global warming and climate change.

The YOUTURN Platform has both Physical and Digital Drop Points for PET plastic, such as clear plastic bottles and HDPE plastic, such as translucent plastic bottles, allowing people to collect points to win prizes. In the near future, the platform will use mobile application to support the expansion of plastic waste collection and separation from the source providing more convenience.
YOUTURN PLATFORMThe Platform Includes Four Processes:

Over the years, GC has continued to be a role model in sustainability by balancing the economy, society and environment (2E1S). GC has applied the Circular Economy principles by ‘connecting loops’ or building partnerships to connect all parties in the process.
GC and its partners, including the public and private sectors, have installed YOUTURN Drop Points to allow the broader public to access the platform. Both GC and PTT Oil and Retail (PTTOR), joined together to initiate the ‘Plastic Reborn’ project at the beginning of 2021.
In addition, GC also joined with other organizations, including Muang Thai Life Assurance Public Company Limited and the Stock Exchange of Thailand, to apply the You Turn Platform to manage plastic waste and place the platform’s Digital Drop Points in their office buildings.

Going beyond the private sector, the platform is also partnering with the public sector and academic institutions. Mahidol University and Dhurakij Pundit University placed YOUTURN Drop Points on their campuses to collect plastic waste from students and staff. Suranaree University of Technology signed an agreement to apply the YOUTURN Platform to manage plastic waste at the university. This is a part of a study project on “Plastic waste management and adding value to contaminated plastic waste: sorting formats and management at the source.” In the future, the YOUTURN Platform will be closer to everyone through GC’s commitment to create alliances in all industries to jointly manage plastic waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and global warming together.
The YOUTURN platform is a solution to plastic waste. Recently, the YOUTURN platform joined with the Less Plastic site to support the “Sorting plastic bottles to help doctors” project, which takes used plastic bottles from YOUTURN Drop Points and its partners to recycling plants to be sewn into PPE Level 2 suits. The suits have a hydrostatic pressure barrier allowing them to be cleaned and reused up to 20 times. The suits will be presented to medical professionals to prevent COVID-19 reflecting how the YOUTURN platform can address both environmental stewardship while responding quickly to help society in a time of crisis.
The platform will continually expand its partnerships with the goal of more efficient plastic waste management leading to a concrete and sustainable Circular Economy approach. GC continues to focus on building collaborations with all sectors.
