AIS Launches Thailand's First E-Waste Calculator Platform
赋能绿色数字生态：AIS 联合泰国污染控制厅与温室气体管理组织推出“电子垃圾计算平台”，树立国家级衡量标准并向东盟示范迈进 随着全球气候行动与循环经济的加速推进，电子垃圾（E-Waste）的无害化处理与标准化碳减排核算已成为各国实现 ESG 目标与碳中和的关键抓手。泰国领先的数字基础设施服务商 AIS 今日宣布，联合泰国自然资源与环境部污染控制厅（PCD）以及泰国温室气体管理组织（TGO），正式推出泰国首个“电子垃圾计算平台”（E-Waste Calculator Platform）。该平台首次在泰国内建立起符合国际标准的统一核算体系，旨在帮助各类机构系统化收集数据、监测项目进展并精准评估环保成效，为泰国乃至东盟（ASEAN）地区的绿色可持续发展提供坚实的数据支撑。 在泰国每年产生约 70 万吨电子垃圾、且正规回收率不足 1% 的严峻形势下，该平台的建立不仅填补了国家级电子垃圾数据量化与宏观决策的空白，也标志着泰国在打造东盟可持续电子垃圾管理区域标杆上迈出了关键一步。 科技化数字化治理：从隐性环保到可度量的碳减排报告 “电子垃圾计算平台”打破了过去电子垃圾回收数据零散、成效难以可视化的痛点。通过官方链接（https://sustainability.ais.co.th/th/sustainability-projects/e-waste-calculator/overview），各公私营机构均可在线录入回收的电子垃圾类型与数量。 系统会根据既定标准自动核算垃圾总量，并准确预估对应的温室气体减排量，一键生成支持下载为 PDF 和 Excel 格式的标准化报告。这些报告不仅能帮助企业与机构实时监控绩效、优化管理计划，还能直接应用于企业的 ESG 与可持续发展报告撰写中。汇聚的全全国数据将为泰国政府制定更科学的环保政策与循环经济规划提供有力依据。 数据显现，自 2019 年启动“泰国人拒绝电子垃圾”（Thais Say No to E-Waste）倡议以来，AIS 已组建起包含 280 多家合作机构 与 3,200 多个回收点 的庞大网络，累计回收电子垃圾 1,301,912 件（总重 288,346.74 公斤），相当于减少了 130,700 公斤二氧化碳当量（kgCO₂e） 的碳排放。此次三方合作，将 AIS 的技术网络、PCD 的政策法规专长与 TGO 的权威减排算法深度融合，构筑起数据驱动的政企协同治理新范式。 高层表态与跨界协同 泰国自然资源与环境部副常务秘书 Prasert Sirinapaporn 先生表示： “自然资源与环境部高度重视完善泰国的电子垃圾管理体系，从回收、分类到无害化循环利用。我们正基于‘生产者责任延伸’（EPR）原则推进《废弃电气电子设备管理法》草案的制定，同时极力鼓励私营部门的自发合作。‘泰国人拒绝电子垃圾’倡议是政企协同的成功范例，通过将合作延伸至地方行政组织与基层公众，我们成功将国家政策转化为社区行动，促进资源循环利用并有效减少污染。” […]
As global climate action and circular economy efforts accelerate, the safe disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) and standardized carbon reduction accounting have become critical levers for nations to achieve ESG goals and carbon neutrality. Thailand's leading digital infrastructure service provider AIS today announced the official launch of Thailand's first "E-Waste Calculator Platform" in collaboration with the Pollution Control Department (PCD) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). The platform establishes Thailand's first unified accounting system compliant with international standards, designed to help organizations systematically collect data, monitor project progress, and precisely evaluate environmental effectiveness, providing solid data support for green sustainable development in Thailand and the ASEAN region.
With Thailand generating approximately 700,000 tons of e-waste annually and a formal recycling rate below 1%, the platform fills a critical gap in national e-waste data quantification and macro-level decision-making, marking a key step toward positioning Thailand as a regional benchmark for sustainable e-waste management in ASEAN.
Digital Governance: From Invisible Environmental Action to Measurable Carbon Reduction Reports The "E-Waste Calculator Platform" addresses the longstanding pain points of fragmented e-waste recycling data and invisible results. Through the official link, public and private organizations can input recycled e-waste types and quantities online. The system automatically calculates total waste volume based on established standards and accurately estimates corresponding greenhouse gas reductions, generating standardized reports downloadable in PDF and Excel formats with one click. These reports help enterprises and institutions monitor performance in real-time, optimize management plans, and directly apply to ESG and sustainability reporting. Aggregated nationwide data will provide strong evidence for the Thai government to formulate more scientific environmental policies and circular economy planning.
Data shows that since launching the "Thais Say No to E-Waste" initiative in 2019, AIS has built a vast network of over 280 partner organizations and more than 3,200 collection points, cumulatively recycling 1,301,912 items (total weight 288,346.74 kg), equivalent to reducing 130,700 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions. This tripartite collaboration deeply integrates AIS's technology network, PCD's policy and regulatory expertise, and TGO's authoritative reduction algorithms, constructing a new paradigm of data-driven government-enterprise collaborative governance.
Leadership Statements and Cross-Sector Collaboration Prasert Sirinapaporn, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, stated: "The Ministry places high importance on improving Thailand's e-waste management system, from collection and sorting to safe recycling. We are advancing the draft Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Management Act based on the 'Extended Producer Responsibility' (EPR) principle while strongly encouraging voluntary private sector cooperation. The 'Thais Say No to E-Waste' initiative is a successful example of government-enterprise collaboration. By extending cooperation to local administrative organizations and grassroots communities, we have successfully transformed national policy into community action, promoting resource recycling and effectively reducing pollution."
Kantima Lerlertyuttitham, AIS Deputy CEO and Chief Corporate Officer, said: "At AIS, we firmly believe building a sustainable world requires collective effort from all society. Through our 'Thoughtful Mission' corporate mission, we are committed not only to recycling e-waste but also to demonstrating tangible environmental outcomes through reliable data and unified measurement standards. AIS contributed its technological capabilities to build this calculator platform, helping organizations systematically evaluate their environmental contributions, turning environmental intent into measurable, substantive action."
Dr. Surin Worakijthamrong, Director-General of the Pollution Control Department, noted: "The core challenge in e-waste governance lies in limited end-point collection and formal processing capacity, causing discarded products to mix with general waste or undergo improper dismantling, creating hazardous substance pollution. PCD, together with AIS and TGO, is implementing a waste mobile phone and accessory recycling management project to establish standardized recycling channels meeting technical and environmental standards. Through the 'E-Waste Calculator Platform' connecting data, PCD will precisely track recycling volumes and processing flows, optimize policy implementation, and enhance nationwide recycling efficiency."
Narkorn Takkavirapat, Executive Director of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization, stated: "Managing e-waste not only reduces waste but also recovers critical raw materials and lowers carbon emissions from new material production. TGO has collaborated with AIS to develop Thailand's first calculation methodology for waste mobile phone recycling emission reductions based on the Low Emission Support Scheme (LESS), ensuring transparent, objective, and traceable assessment results. In the future, TGO plans to develop T-VER carbon credit project methodologies, providing stronger economic incentives for society-wide participation in e-waste governance."
Call to Action and ASEAN Vision AIS formally calls on Thai enterprises, government agencies, and social organizations to actively connect to and use the "E-Waste Calculator Platform," transforming daily e-waste recycling actions into transparent, measurable, and verifiable carbon reduction reports, substantively practicing ESG standards in daily operations. From national data integration to regional experience sharing across Southeast Asia, the project will progressively drive Thailand to become an ASEAN knowledge hub and technical demonstration standard for e-waste management, promoting sustainable development cooperation within the region.
