Global Citizenship

This campaign encourages the public to collect marine debris for upcycling, recycling, and reuse while offering waste management education through activities, exhibitions, and games. (i.e., a beach cleanup on International Coastal Cleanup Day).

The campaign promotes waste separation at the source as well as educates youths and communities to turn waste into valuable resources according to the circular economy principle. The actions are but not limited to establishing Thailand’s Plastic Circularity Social Enterprise Model: Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Ban Chang, producing paving bricks from used plastics, the Greenplas Pallets made from artificial wood made from plasticwaste for industrial warehouses and transportation.

PPP Plastics drive plastic waste management and promote the circular economy through a variety of initiatives, including the "Rayong Less Waste" in collaboration with the private sector, the Provincial Administrative Organization, and local organizations, as well as the construction of used plastic drop points in the Magic Hands x Won project.

This project turns post-consumer plastic into polymer-modified asphalt roads to improve road longevity and reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment. The innovation is now under study by the government authorities to become an alternative standard for road paving in Thailand. 

Dow promotes the development of the frontal part of the brain, called “Executive Functions” (EF), to create good and smart future citizens by joining forces with local government and civil sectors. Currently, a large number of community volunteers, Child Development Centers, nurseries, and schools are taking part in the effort in Rayong and Bangkok.

The contests promote STEM education by providing Thai youths with opportunities to showcase their talents in robotic engineering and computer programming in a bid to represent Thailand in international competitions.

Dow promotes practical scientific learning through hands-on, safe, UNESCO-recognized small-scale laboratory kits, which are small in size, utilize fewer chemicals, save costs, and reduce waste. The small-scalelap allows equal access to chemistry study among students nationwide

Dow supports the curriculum development for vocational school and university students in line with the needs of the industry. Experts are assigned as guest speakers, and the students are provided with internship and working opportunities at Dow.

We encourage employees to propose initiatives that benefit the community, such as building public facilities, improving the environment, fostering good hygiene and habits and instilling safety awareness.

Dow continually provides support for local products and services, as well as improving their operations, packaging, and distribution. Stronger community enterprises boost the local economy and create jobs in the communities, for example, Punsuk Market @Central, Market@Dow, and Wednesday markets).

Dow supports the work of disaster mitigation in the local communities by providing products, food, drinking water, medical equipment, and essential supplies, forexample, assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic and heavy floods.

Dow is one of the co-founders and committed members of the CPA, Thailand's first collaboration of the industrial sector committed to creating co-existence between the industry, the community, and the environment. The association’s aim is to make Rayong province become an eco-industrial town.
