The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is teaming up with PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC) and the Ecoalf Foundation to launch the Upcycling the Oceans, a Thai initiative to clean the Kingdom’s seas and coastal areas, especially on the east coast, the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.
Thailand is the first country in Asia to join the Upcycling the Oceans initiative undertaken by the Ecoalf Foundation. Plastic debris collected from waters and beaches will be recycled into thread to make fabric.
