SCGC is participating in the "SiCOE Forum 2025 x SDGs" by showcasing its medical innovations and circular economy initiatives. SCGC is hosting an exhibition in collaboration with the Siriraj Hospital Center of Excellence on the lawn adjacent to the Prince Mahidol Adulyadej Monument from April 22nd to 24th, 2025.

At this event, SCGC is showcased under the theme “SCGC: Plastics for Better Living and a Better Tomorrow.” The exhibition highlights the role of plastics or polymers in everyday life, supporting megatrend growth and meeting diverse application needs. It also presents the concept of plastic recycling and the tangible promotion of the circular economy. Leveraging its expertise in materials science and polymer formulation, SCGC collaborates with various sectors to transform medical waste into high-quality new products for reuse. Examples include recycled PVC tiles made from dialysis solution bags, a joint effort with Principal Capital Plc (PRINC) under Principal Healthcare, Baxter Healthcare (a pharmaceutical and medical device company), and Dynoflex (a manufacturer, distributor, and installer of vinyl flooring materials). Additionally, recycled plastic bags are produced from dialysis solution gallons in collaboration with Praram 9 Hospital and Wake Up Waste, a platform for managing the buying and selling of recyclable waste, along with a compactor truck that enhances transportation efficiency.

Furthermore, SCGC is showcasing Medical & Well-Being products that leverage innovative plastic or polymer applications to elevate the medical sector. These include user-friendly and safe sharps containers, Varogard high-performance medical face masks capable of filtering particles sized 2.5-0.1 microns with a Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) of over 95% (quality tested by the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital), and smart medication carts designed to meet the needs of medical personnel. The exhibition also features a hemorrhoid ligator, a technology aimed at improving patient care.
