ETC and BWG Launch Waste-to-Goods Exchange Program

Earth Tech Environment Public Company Limited (ETC) and Better World Green Public Company Limited (BWG) have partnered to organize the "Happiness Bank BWG x ETC" initiative on August 19, 2026, at Wat Phra That Ban Nuea in Saraburi Province. The program aims to promote community-based waste sorting from the source and add value to discarded materials, returning benefits to society. The event was opened by Sirichai Suphamon, Deputy District Officer of Kaeng Khoi District, serving as the official representative, with ETC's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Suphawat Kunravini reporting on the event's objectives, and BWG Vice Chairman Akkrawit Khanthaew thanking all participants. Local government officials, subdistrict administrators, village headmen, and community leaders attended in full support.

A key highlight of the program was the opportunity for residents to bring "worthless waste" to exchange for essential daily consumer goods, demonstrating that discarded materials can create real value and happiness for communities. The inaugural event successfully collected 4,840 kilograms (approximately 4.8 tons) of waste and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 9,216.65 kgCO₂e, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of approximately 419 mature trees. The event also featured renowned entertainer Poom Kiattiphoom, who engaged warmly with the public in activities that created a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

The "Happiness Bank BWG x ETC" initiative goes beyond promoting waste sorting and proper disposal methods; it reinforces the shared vision of "transforming waste into happiness" held by both organizations, demonstrating their commitment to improving community living standards alongside sustainable environmental management.
