During the event, Niwat Athiwattananont, Technology Director of SCGC, participated in a panel discussion on “Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy: Pathways to Enhance Partnerships between Thailand and Latin America and the Caribbean” to emphasize the importance of commercial research and development, which leads to eco-friendly plastic innovation in line with circular economy principles under the “SCGC GREEN POLYMER” brand.
