HMC Polymers partners with the Royal Forest Department driving a groundbreaking project to expand green areas for carbon dioxide absorption, acting on the organization's carbon reduction pillar
On November 7, 2024, Mr. Corso Uzielli, President of HMC Polymers company limited (HMC Polymers), and Mr. Nikorn Sirarotchananon, Deputy Director-General of Royal Forest Department, officially launched a transformative collaborative project aimed at expanding green areas dedicated to carbon dioxide absorption. This significant event took place in Meeting Room 1 at the Thiem Komkris Building, Royal Forest Department, Phahonyothin Road, Bangkok.
This ambitious initiative marks a strategic partnership between HMC Polymers, a leading manufacturer and distributor of polypropylene (PP) plastic resins in Southeast Asia, and the Royal Forest Department, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The project’s clear objective is to enhance carbon dioxide absorption to combat global warming. It will establish model forest areas and promote the conservation of effective carbon-absorbing tree species, with plans for expansion to other regions. The Royal Forest Department will oversee the maintenance of the trees, ensuring optimal growth and carbon absorption. Results will contribute to the Low Emission Support Scheme (LESS), which is designed to elevate awareness about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to recognize the contributions of those committed to this cause through the issuance of Letters of Recognition (LOR) which will be awarded to organizations that actively participate in greenhouse gas reduction.
This initiative will harness support from both the corporate and business sectors to create tangible benefits for society and communities. Spanning over seven years, this project offers a unique opportunity for HMC Polymers and the Royal Forest Department to collaborate effectively. By sharing knowledge and innovative ideas, this partnership aims to deliver significant benefits in carbon emission reduction, aligning with HMC Polymers' carbon reduction pillar within its sustainability framework.
