If we reduce waste to zero and minimize carbon emissions, how much will our lives change?
Today, our world is facing major challenges from climate change and growing piles of waste. These problems do affect our quality of life every single day.
SCGP is now committed to building a low-carbon society via its “SCGP Zero Waste Plus Low-Carbon Community” initiative. Designed to encourage lower greenhouse gas emissions among communities around the company’s plants, this initiative promotes knowledge and understanding of relevant topics including energy efficiency, the use of reliable greenhouse gas emission calculation tools, green space expansion, and efficient waste material management for a zero-waste society.
Activities (Data from 2019–2024)
Waste Management Project at Communities
This project creates knowledge and understanding to encourage locals, including youth, to change their behavior by using less resources, reusing, and recycling/upcycling waste. The goals are to add value, reduce expenses, and generate income. This project also teaches people how to use energy efficiently and apply reliable greenhouse gas emission calculation tools, enabling communities such as schools and villages to create low-carbon societies.
Bring Paper Home Project
This project educates schools, organizations, and industrial estates where SCGP’s plants are located about proper paper separation. Segregated paper-based materials are then recycled.
Paper Band Handicraft Promotion Project
This project shares knowledge of how to generate added value by turning recycle paper bands from SCGP’s plants into handicrafts. Moreover, it supports the establishment of community enterprises to foster communities’ self-sustained growth.
It takes active participation of communities, employees, and government sectors in successfully building a low-carbon society. As everyone has a crucial role to play in shaping the future, it is high time we stopped watching and took action to create a zero-waste and sustainable world together.
“SCGP Zero Waste Plus Low-Carbon Community” initiative, part of SCGP’s CSR efforts, aligns the company’s ESG goals with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to Climate Resilience and Circular Economy.
