Bangkok: Bangchak Group is set to expand its ‘Tod Mai Thing’ initiative, encouraging residents to turn used cooking oil into a source of clean energy and additional income. Starting June 30, 2025, the project will cover all Bangchak petrol stations in Bangkok and its surrounding areas.
According to Thai News Agency, the initiative aligns with World Environment Day’s theme, ‘Reduce Global Warming, Increase Income,’ and aims to purchase used cooking oil from the public. This effort is spearheaded by Bangchak Group executives, including Mr. Bandit Harsaphaibool, Mr. Seri Anupannan, Ms. Kloyta Na Thalang, and Mr. Anuwat Rungruangratanakul. The collected oil will be used to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by BSGF Co., Ltd., with an initial purchase price set at 19 baht per kilogram, subject to market fluctuations.
The project enjoys support from Winnoni Company Limited and Purple Ventures Company Limited, the operator of Thai food delivery platform Robinhood. Under the leadership of Ms. Morakot Yib-In-Tsoi, these companies aim to raise public awareness and expand the ‘Fry Without Waste’ stations, which serve as collection points for used cooking oil. The initiative will also extend to 40 additional schools in collaboration with the Bai Mai Pan Suk Foundation, promoting sustainable waste management practices.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the ‘Reduce Global Warming, Increase Income’ campaign at all Bangchak petrol stations in Bangkok and nearby areas, with plans to extend the program to over 200 branches in other provinces. The ‘Fry Without Waste’ project aims to further expand its reach nationwide, emphasizing resource appreciation and sustainable waste management.
