Circular Economy and Waste Management

SCG drives the circular economy through the development of innovative circular materials that enable sustainable resource use across the value chain. By integrating material innovation, advanced recycling technologies, and circular product design, we transform waste and secondary resources into high-value inputs—reducing reliance on virgin materials while strengthening long-term resource resilience.
Through close collaboration with partners, communities, and stakeholders, circular material innovation is embedded into our operations, products, and business models, delivering measurable environmental benefits, economic value, and positive social outcomes in alignment with ESG principles.

Design for material efficiency and waste prevention at source

Enable industrial symbiosis for materials and energy recovery

Scale recycled and
low-impact alternative materials

Advance closed-loop recycling systems (mechanical and chemical)

Deliver life-cycle-based sustainable products and solutions

We embed circular economy principles into material sourcing, production, and product design to maximize resource efficiency and minimize waste to landfill.

| Key Targets | 500,000 tons of used plastic integrated into production annually by 2030 | Zero waste to landfill* | Increase recycled content by 8% by 2030. |
| Performance 2025 | 193,069 | 0 | 6.4% |
* Zero waste to landfill for hazardous and non-hazardous waste from production in Thailand


SCGC, a leading integrated polymer business committed to sustainability, together with Lion (Thailand) Co., Ltd., has launched environmentally friendly packaging for “PAO” liquid laundry detergent. Both the bottle and cap are made from high-quality, odorless post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin developed through SCGC GREEN POLYMER innovation and certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), ensuring traceability of recycled material sources.
The Packaging Circularity Collaboration project uses high-quality PCR resin from SCGC GREEN POLYMER to recycle used plastics from Mitr Phol Group’s industrial operations into packaging films for its products. The initiative enables a closed-loop system, preventing plastic leakage into the environment and supporting resource efficiency in line with SCGC’s Low Waste, Low Carbon strategy.
