CPPC in the CP Group, and SCGC Launch ASEAN’s First Food-Grade Recycled Pet Food Packaging from Advanced Recycling Technology

Business ESG Circular Economy Innovation Sustainability

Bangkok, 3 August 2026 – CPPC Public Company Limited (CPPC), the packaging business under Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group), has joined forces with SCG Chemicals (SCGC), a leading integrated polymer and solution business for sustainability, to launch ASEAN’s first food-grade recycled pet food packaging made from Advanced Recycling technology. The innovative packaging is safe for pet food contact while contributing to environmental sustainability.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the pet food industry through the development of food-grade recycled packaging that is safe for food contact for both humans and pets and certified under the ISCC PLUS standard across the supply chain. The partnership combines CPPC’s packaging manufacturing expertise with SCGC’s Advanced Recycling technology, which converts post-consumer plastic waste into Circular Naphtha and subsequently into high-quality Certified Circular Polyolefin Resin under the SCGC GREEN POLYMER™ brand. These recycled resins offer properties equivalent to virgin plastics, enabling the production of safe and reliable pet food packaging without harmful chemicals or residues that could contaminate food. In addition, the solution helps reduce plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions tangibly.

Mr. Prasert Pungkumarn, Senior Vice President of Charoen Pokphand Group and Chairman of Packaging Business Group, said “As a leader in the packaging industry, CPPC recognizes its responsibility towards natural resources and the global environmental challenges we face today. We are committed to transforming our manufacturing processes based on Circular Economy principles to minimize the use of virgin resources and maximize resource efficiency through continuous investment in environmentally friendly technologies. Our collaboration with SCGC to develop packaging from Advanced Recycling technology reflects our belief that waste is not the end of the journey, but a valuable resource for the future.”

“This collaboration represents a major step forward in elevating the pet food packaging industry. The resulting packaging delivers strength, durability, moisture protection, and food-contact safety while meeting the requirements of leading global pet food brands. Both SCGC and CPPC are ISCC PLUS certified, demonstrating our capability to provide high-quality packaging solutions with transparent traceability while reducing environmental impacts. CPPC is committed to being a key driver of green industry development because we believe that a sustainable world creates a sustainable business.”

Mr. Chatri Eamsobhana, Chief Commercial Officer of SCGC, said “SCGC is committed to developing innovative polymers and technologies for sustainability through the application of Circular Economy principles. We continue to advance recycling technologies while delivering customized solutions for customers and business partners and promoting closed-loop plastic waste management. SCGC targets bringing 500,000 tons of used plastics back into the circular economy annually by 2030 through collaboration across the value chain.”

“In this project, SCGC leverages its Advanced Recycling technology to transform used plastics into recycled resins with quality and performance equivalent to virgin plastics. As a result, the material is safe for food-contact applications and can be used in packaging for both human and animal food. The launch of CPPC’s new food-grade recycled pet food packaging establishes a new benchmark for the industry. Beyond preserving pet food quality and supporting pet health, it also contributes to environmental sustainability.”
