Plastic Waste Collection at Libong Island Today Libong Island, the largest island in Trang Province, is a hidden gem known for its pristine beaches and lush mangroves and as a sanctuary for the endangered dugongs. As always, we joined hands with Second Life members and Wongpanit Krabi to collect plastic waste, help protect this unique ecosystem, and support the livelihoods of the local community. #SecondLife #WongpanitKrabi #LibongIsland #OceanCleanup #SustainableLiving #CircularEconomy #ProtectNature

We want a strong Plastics Treaty! Plastic pollution impacts the ??????????????????????, ?????????? ????????????, and ?????????? ?????????????throughout its life cycle. Reducing plastic production is ?????????????????? to ending plastic pollution at its source. Second Life is joining the call for the Thai government and governments worldwide to create a strong Plastics Treaty that covers the entire life cycle of plastics??? and prioritizes environmental protection, human rights, and public health. A future free from plastic pollution can become a reality if we start by reducing plastic production to sustainable levels and eliminating problematic and unnecessary plastics, as well as hazardous chemicals. Join us in ending plastic pollution! ???? #PlasticsTreaty #???????????????? #??????????????????? #Thailand #PlasticPollution

I was glad to represent Second Life at last week’s ???????????????? ???? ??????????’?? ???????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????? event, organized by GEM Enviro Management Limited in partnership with The Policy Times. This successful delegation to Thailand brought together leading voices from India’s #PlasticWaste, #Ewaste, #Tyre, and #Battery sectors ???? ???? The panel discussion on EPR laws in plastics was particularly insightful, shedding light on India’s EPR journey and the valuable lessons it offers for everyone committed to addressing plastic pollution. Thank you to GEM Enviro Management Limited for recognizing Second Life as a key stakeholder in the EPR conversation in #Thailand. I’m excited to continue these vital conversations between countries —collaboration is the key to impactful change.

Koh Sri Boya’s, Thailand Update Bang Jeh Nan delivered waste from Koh Sri Boya to Laem Krot Pier, where our team organized trucks and staff to receive it directly. Supporting waste management on remote islands like Koh Sri Boya is essential for the health of the community, the local fishermen, and the environment. Without proper structured waste collection, plastics and other waste can pollute the waters, harming marine life and impacting fishermen's livelihoods. Second Life Second Life and Wongpnait Krabi Wongpanit Krabi CO., LTD. ensure that all Ocean-Bound waste is responsibly collected and transported; we’re helping preserve the island's natural beauty and ecological health. ?#KohSriBoya #WasteCollection #SustainableFuture #SupportLocal

Trang Project The team, Second Life,?Second Life,?and Wongpanit Krabi,?Wongpanit Krabi CO., LTD.?continue to collect waste from Ja Rea of Koh Mook at Khuan Tung Ku Pier. Koh Mook has no formal waste management system, forcing them to burn on site, making our collaboration with Second Life and Wongpanit Krabi vital to supporting the island. Together, we’re working to ensure that waste is responsibly collected and transformed into valuable resources rather than harming the environment. #TrangCleanup #KohMook #SecondLife #WongpanitKrabi #SustainableCommunity

Throwing back to one of Second Life field visits last August on the beautiful island of Koh Muk in #Thailand. We learned a collector's trick: It’s much easier to load a boat when the tide is low, then wait for high tide to head back to the mainland with the collected plastic waste ??
