Siam Piwat introduces waste-to-VIZ Coin conversion program for eco-conscious customers to enjoy various privileges on ONESIAM Application
Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., is building on the success of its Recycle Collection Center, Thailand’s first waste segregation point in the inner city, by introducing a new waste-to-VIZ Coin conversion program on ONESIAM Application, which is under the management of Velocity Co., Ltd. (a company in Siam Piwat Group), allowing customers to convert waste into VIZ Coins, which can be redeemed for various privileges within its shopping malls.
Ms. Naratipe Ruttapradid, Chief Operating Officer of Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., said, “Since its launch, the Drive-Thru Recycle Collection Center, which is the first of its kind in Thailand, has garnered tremendous attention among eco-friendly people who share Siam Piwat’s view towards waste management and the significance of systemic waste separation across the value chain. This environmental project is open to everyone who wishes to make a positive contribution to society and the planet. To continue our efforts to promote eco-consciousness this year, we are introducing a program where customers can drop recyclable waste with us and convert them into VIZ Coins via ONESIAM Application. The goal is to encourage everyone to take part in reducing, sorting, and recycling waste to maximize its value, which will ultimately lead to a behavioral shift, eco-conscious consumption of resources, greater awareness in the value of waste, and a more widespread practice of waste separation.”
The Recycle Collection Center (RCC) is part of Siam Piwat 360° Waste Journey to Zero Waste Project, which seeks to advance closed-loop waste management in accordance with circular economy principles and places emphasis on systemic waste management across the value chain. Siam Piwat has installed two drive-thru waste collection points at Siam Paragon, namely at the tour bus parking lot on G Floor outside the north wing, and Exit 4 on G Floor (near Bangkok Bank). Customers and the general public are invited to drop off clean and sorted waste at these locations so that it can be recycled into raw materials and upcycled into products for sale at Ecotopia in Siam Discovery.
To celebrate the 1st anniversary of the project, Siam Piwat, in collaboration with Unilever Thai Group of Companies, Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Tetra Pak (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and its partners, will be awarding VIZ Coins to participants from August 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The details are as follows:
1) Participants can drop off clean and sorted waste at the drive-thru collection point at the tour bus parking lot (at the back of Siam Paragon) daily from 9:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
2) To join this program, participants are required to download ONESIAM Application in order to receive and collect VIZ Coins. The conditions for receiving VIZ Coins are as follows:
