This week, we welcomed Kristiina Kuvaja-Xanthopoulos, Ambassador of Finland to Thailand, to our Thailand facility. Hosted by pongsak padungkarn, VP, Flexible Packaging SEAO, the visit highlighted our commitment to sustainable packaging and the strong partnership between Finland and Thailand. The Ambassador toured our #blueloop site, where we showcased our mono-material packaging - designed for 100% recyclability and a lower carbon footprint than traditional multi-layer packaging. We also marked nearly 30 years of Huhtamaki’s presence in Thailand, working alongside key industry partners like Thailand Institute of Packaging and Recycling Management for Sustainable Environment (TIPMSE), MTEC, and leading global food brands to drive sustainability forward. The highlight was our #ThinkCircle roundtable on "Collaborating for Sustainable Packaging in Thailand." Moderated by Dr. Panate Manomaivibool, Assistant Professor of Burapha University International College, industry experts discussed the path ahead, especially with the Draft Sustainable Packaging Management Act now in focus. We are committed to shaping Thailand’s sustainable packaging future by working closely with policymakers, industry leaders, and consumers to turn this vision into reality. #FlexiblePackaging #ThinkCircleThailand #Circularity
