Our Sustainable Packaging Strategies
Performance Highlights
To achieve our Sustainable Packaging goals and stay in line with Thailand’s Bio-Circular-Green Economy (BCG) model action plan for 2021-2027, OSOTSPA has evolved our packaging across product groups to utilize a variety of practices including recyclable design, weight reduction, and recyclable material usage. These are all aimed at reducing environmental impact while maintaining the same quality.
Packaging Weight Reduction
OSOTSPA has improved its glass bottle packaging to reduce glass bottle weight while maintaining quality. This was implemented previously in Beverages across multiple products. In 2023, the company successfully implemented process improvements to reduce the weight of glass bottles for personal care products, specifically for TWELVE PLUS/EXIT Roll On products in the 25 ml and 45 ml sizes.
OSOTSPA conducted R&D in packaging design, aiming to minimize plastic usage across a range of products. This initiative included both existing and new items
Recycling Solutions in Our Production
Osotspa does not shy from being accountable in terms of post-consumer waste management. This can be seen in our advanced recycling center in Saraburi province which contributes to the reduction and recycling of waste by way of resource optimization.
