Tetra Pak, a world-leading processing and packaging solutions company, represented by Mr. Patinya Silsupadol, Head of Sustainability, Tetra Pak (Thailand) Limited, and its partners of The Green Shelter Project for Friends in Need (of 'Pa') Volunteers Foundation, donated recycled building materials to Sukirin District in Narathiwat province, which was severely affected by floods last December. The donation included roof sheets and door frames to 19 villages, and other essential materials to Rajapattana School in the same province.
Through this collaboration, Tetra Pak; Friends in Need (of 'Pa') Volunteers Foundation, Thai Red Cross Society; Eco-Friendly Thai Company Limited; and other partners have provided essential materials to assist in reconstructing the flood-damaged school and homes. For Sukirin District, the donations comprised 418 roof sheets and 57 door frame sets; for Rajapattana School, the donations included 45 roof sheets, 400 eco blocks, as well as eco wood pieces that will be used for the local production of canteen tables and chairs. Other partner recyclers, Advanced Mat Co., Ltd. and M.B.J. Enterprise Co., Ltd., have been instrumental in contributing to the production of roof sheets and door frames, respectively, showcasing the collaborative effort in rebuilding the lives of affected communities. Additionally, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel has generously contributed 100,000 Baht towards the school's rebuilding efforts to purchase educational materials.
Volunteers from across the nation, mobilised by The Green Shelter Project, have been instrumental in collecting and repurposing used beverage cartons into valuable resources. The recycled goods delivered to the villages and Rajapattana School are a testament to the collective effort to rebuild the houses and the school with sustainable materials, aiding the resilient Narathiwat communities' recovery path.
The Green Shelter Project aims to encourage the collection of used beverage cartons and transform them into innovative construction materials, such as roof sheets, fiber cement boards, wall panels, door frames, and window frames. These materials are then distributed to support the construction of new homes for individuals affected by natural disasters, offering a helping hand to those facing adversity.
