Siam Kraft Industry Company Limited in SCGP and a leader in environmentally conscious packaging, resources, and innovation, has joined forces with key partners in Northern Thailand, including Lalita PPO Company Limited (Lalita Packaging), Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai, Bangkok Hospital Chiang Rai, and the Vejdusit Foundation under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana. Together, they share a common goal of creating a safe environment to enhance the quality of life for children, who represent the future of the nation. Through this collaboration, the partners are implementing a project to deliver “Clean Air Boxes” and provide knowledge on coping with PM2.5 air pollution to 480 educational institutions, child development centers, childcare facilities, and preschools, covering a total of 890 rooms across Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, and Mae Hong Son provinces.
The “Clean Air Box” is a DIY (Do It Yourself) air filtration innovation developed by Chiang Mai University and its partner network. It is assembled using a high-quality corrugated cardboard box, a PM2.5 air filter, and an exhaust fan, which work together to circulate and supply clean air into enclosed spaces such as classrooms or bedrooms, helping reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses. The system is highly effective in filtering dust and fine particulate matter, including PM2.5.
