How does eco-plastics good for the world?

Although plastic waste is currently a problem that many countries around the world are facing, In addition, Thailand is ranked 5th or 6th in the world for marine garbage problems. This means that everyone must cooperate and join together to solve and deal with these problems. To solve this problem quickly, it must be completed in every aspect of solid waste management. 

By adhering to the 3R plus principles which include:
1. Reduce is the best R because it reduces the occurrence, that is reduces the use of
    unnecessary plastic such as plastic water bottle seals, glass lids, straws, etc.
2. Reuse is using again and again to make it worthwhile to use such as thick plastic
    glasses can be reused.
3. Recycle melting for reuse. It is the use of damaged plastic that can no longer be reused.
    Melt it and use it again which must be separated efficiently, these wastes can then
    go into the recycling process.
    Plus, one more R is Replace, meaning parts that still need to use plastic and cannot be
    avoided such as disposable packaging. You should change to using biodegradable
    plastics such as cups, boxes, and bags made from biodegradable plastics instead.

Applying these principles in the present. It may not be enough to solve the plastic waste problem in a short time. To reduce it seriously and hopefully for good results. We should follow the transformation of waste into energy for use, energy recovery and disposal. such as using natural methods for fermentation, production of paper cups coated with bioplastics, biodegradable food boxes, biodegradable plastic bags made from bioplastics that are biodegradable in nature.

These various things, when composted together with organic waste, will produce soil improvers. It may not be called fertilizer, but it will contain substances that are beneficial to the trees. Helps trees grow beautifully and lushly. Landfill will get water and carbon dioxide and biomass that is beneficial to the soil and plants.

At present, the concept of green business has arisen, which is a strategy that emphasizes awareness of social responsibility of business organizations. Especially, the awareness of an environment that is truly used to promote the image of the brand in both social and governance aspects. It represents the ultimate goal that is not only profit but a good image for the organization and brands that attract modern consumers to be more concerned with society and the environment.

This causes the organization to adjust its paradigm to a green business. To focus on sustainable development, they aim to use natural materials or use energy efficiently to control waste or pollution that affects consumers and the environment. Green business organizations conduct product research and development including the production process that is environmentally friendly (green process) by improving the process to reduce emissions.

This is because the business trend of innovative environmentally friendly products is growing rapidly. This is a result of population expansion and the trend of saving the world that is spreading in every region. Therefore, developing environmentally friendly products is the main choice that manufacturers and consumers are concerned about as a priority.

Leading organizations are striving to integrate green concepts in the supply chain, such as green design, green purchasing, green marketing, recycling waste and also transformation into raw materials is consistent with the life cycle concept. Products that give importance from design until the end of their useful life, also known as industrial ecology, such as using toxic materials or materials that use minimal energy processing, using materials that can be recycled and does not harmful to the environment.
In the case of Japanese electrical appliance manufacturer Toshiba, which announced a commitment to strive to become a green company (eco company), Toshiba's environmental management is not limited to just Carrying out CSR activities but also focusing on the main dimensions are:

As in the case of Japanese electrical appliance manufacturer Toshiba, which announced a commitment to strive to become a green company (eco company), Toshiba's environmental management is not limited to just Carrying out CSR activities but also focusing on the main dimensions included: greening of process, greening of products and greening by technology. By paying attention to the environment from upstream to downstream production processes and recycling. Toshiba announces campaign “Green Innovation for a White World”.

It is both an organizational policy and marketing policy to create a difference between Toshiba and other brands by using raw materials that do not destroy nature and can be reused. Toshiba products adhere to the 3R principles: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in order to be transformed and reused again. An example of Toshiba's green products is the Slim Lady refrigerator, which has developed special thinner insulation. This results in the use of less refrigerator surface material. When discarded, it creates less waste than the general refrigerator. At the same time, maintaining 5 energy saving label standards helps consumers save on electricity costs.

The Regza LCD TV has been developed to be 30 percent lighter, resulting in not only reducing the use of materials in production, but also reducing packaging materials and power consumption by 30 percent. As well as reducing the use of materials, those are toxic to the environment according to, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium. Include reducing the number of nuts and screws and designed to save energy in order to have the least impact on the environment.
