The project has gained a lot of support from many sectors such as the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Ministry of Interior, Chonburi provincial government, and the private sector. They promote policies and innovations that help facilitate the storage and recycling process. The collaboration includes establishing a storage system, setting up drop points for used packaging, and coordinating with the Sorting Hub to properly recycle the leftover materials in order to utilize the resources to their full potential.
