Together with everwave, the Audi Environmental Foundation, the Ferry Porsche Foundation, and local partners the TerraCycle Thai Foundation, we set out on a comprehensive campaign against the pollution of the Chao Phraya river to prevent marine litter from occurring in the first place. The project did this through four pillars:
Waste Collection
Through waste collection boats and the use of artificial intelligence to detect, analyse, sort and safely dispose of waste.
Local Employment
Long-term jobs created as part of the boat operations team.
School Outreach and Education Programme
New scheme set-up to raise pupil’s awareness on plastic pollution and how to manage waste. Pupils were also given the opportunity to visit the boat and sorting facility.
Public Inspiration
Awareness campaigns through social media and events carried out throughout the project.
