HMC Polymers Launches a transformative collaborative project aimed at expanding green areas dedicated to carbon dioxide absorption. Partnering with the public sector, results expected within 3 years
On July 31, 2025, HMC Polymers Company Limited officially launched a transformative collaborative project aimed at expanding green areas dedicated to carbon dioxide absorption with the Royal Forest Department. This year marks the beginning of a prototype forest plantation covering 10 rai (approximately 4 acres) at the Forest Research Center Region 6 in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. This marks the first year of a seven-year initiative. By the third year, the outcomes of the project will be utilized under the Low Emission Support Scheme (LESS) of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization). The goal is to recognize HMC Polymers as one of the organizations that tangibly contribute to greenhouse gas reduction, encourage emission-reducing activities at various scales, and prepare for the development of projects that can generate tradeable carbon credits.
A transformative collaborative project aimed at expanding green areas dedicated to carbon dioxide absorption initiated in 2024, with actual reforestation beginning in 2025. It brings numerous benefits, particularly in reducing carbon emissions—aligning with the carbon reduction pillar, one of the three core pillars in HMC Polymers’ sustainability strategy.
Reforestation that integrates all three pillars of sustainability
Circularity
Propagating sapling in upcycled PP plots.
Carbon Reducition
Office-based sapling care by employees reduces travel and cuts carbon emissions.
Connectivity
Partnering with local government agencies not only strengthens our public image and network but also empowers the community to protect the forest, sustainably harvest edible plants, and develop a showcase area for learning, serving as a prototype for broader implementation.
