Plastic Bag Upcycling for Reuse as Garbage Bags Project

The Company has collaborated with Siam Cement Public Company Limited (SCG) to manage used plastics generated within the hospital under the Circular Economy concept through a Closed Loop Program, with the objective of promoting efficient resource utilization, reducing waste generation, and minimizing environmental impacts. This initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, under which the Company promotes proper waste segregation and ensures that used plastics are systematically returned to recycling and upcycling processes. In 2025, a total of 4,479 kilograms of used dialysis gallons were sent to the upcycling process, helping reduce the amount of waste requiring disposal and increasing the value of resources through reuse. The initiative also supports SDG 13: Climate Action, as reducing plastic waste and reusing materials helps decrease the demand for new resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the production value chain. This enables the Company to contribute to climate change mitigation and support carbon dioxide emission reduction goals. These initiatives reflect the Company’s commitment to conducting business alongside environmental responsibility and supporting sustainable development in the long term.
