Greener Monozukuri (Manufacturing)

Manufacturing Greener Products

TP carries out monozukuri (manufacturing) of high-quality, environmentally friendly products for both domestic and international markets. For example, the plastic in the packaging for this “Nose cleaner” product is 100% recycled PET.

Initiatives to Reduce Waste

TP has also launched initiative designed to reduce environmental burdens at the manufacturing stage by cutting industrial waste and emissions.
These include:
・Using recycled cardboard boxes
・Revising manufacturing processes to use raw materials more efficiently and produce less waste
・Installing wastewater recycling systems and reducing wastewater

Energy-Saving Initiatives

Not only did TP install solar panels in 2020, it has also launched energy-saving projects to reduce its use of energy and CO2 emissions.

CSR Activities

TP carries out CSR activities in cooperation with government bodies, hospitals, NPOs, schools, and local communities. One example of this is the company’s Waste Recycling Program.
TP has run its Waste Recycling Program in cooperation with the Bang Sao Thong Sub district Administrative Organization, a local government body, every year since 2016 as part of its efforts to reduce waste and support the livelihoods of local communities. The program involves collecting and separating waste from factories and then selling whatever is recyclable to local recycling companies. The profits are used to buy food, water, medicine, and other daily necessities which are then donated to ease the economic burden on local communities.
