Heart to Earth

Environmental conservation is too big an issue to be done by anyone alone but it needs a cooperation among many parties under the concept of Circular Economy. The concept is aimed at optimizing benefits of resource uses and increasing the efficiency of waste management by an appropriate process.

Well aware of the importance of Circular Economy, Pruksa determines to continually reduce waste from construction projects. Plastic waste, disposed after only one time use, not only causes problems to humans, but also to marine creatures as it take over 45 years for decomposing.

Pruksa, in cooperation with TPBI Public Company Limited, organized a campaign to encourage its residents to conserve the environment and create a nice society by separating PE plastic from other waste in the project “WON@Pruksa”. The PE plastic is easy to identify by just push your thumb on the plastic material surface and if it stretches then it is the PE plastic. Materials made from PE plastic such as shopping bags and air bubble would be washed and dried before sending to TPBI for recycling in the international standard and environmentally-friendly process. The “WON Bags” can be recycled for many times thus maximizing the benefits from these plastic products.

In 2020, pilot programs were initiated in three town house, single detached house, and condominium projects, namely The Connect Patanakarn 38, The Plant Elit Patanakarn, Plum Condo Chaeng Wattana Station 2-3, and Plum Mix Chaeng Wattana. All residents were proud to participate in this environmental impact mitigating mission by reducing plastic waste and greenhouse gas emission.

Moreover, five baht shall be given to every one kilogram of the plastic waste. WON project shall donate the money to foundations for the environment and public benefits.
