TerraCycle Global Foundation, TerraCycle Thai Foundation, and Blue Carbon Society are joining forces to boost plastic collection and recycling in Lat Phrao by operating two river plastic capture traps on the canal for three years. Additional plans include working with the canal community and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to develop sustainable waste management systems. TerraCycle Global Foundation, TerraCycle Thai Foundation and Blue Carbon Society have signed a three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collect and recycle plastic waste removed from the Lat Phrao Canal and to inspire action on other canals to reduce marine plastic pollution. Through the new partnership, TerraCycle Thai Foundation will operate two river plastic capture traps. These floating devices are designed to increase the amount of debris and marine plastics collected from Thai waterways. Using the traps, the waste will be intercepted and removed before it reaches and pollutes the ocean. The partnership will also establish education programs, improve data collection, and contribute to developing sustainable waste management systems in the region.
