Sutha.
Rayong, Thailand
Sutha is a 38-year-old collection member in Rayong, Thailand. He used to work as a CSR Officer but resigned from his job. He realized there is plenty of plastic waste in Thailand, which is actually a valuable material that can be sold for recycling. So, he decided to become a full-time plastic collection member.
Before joining Plastic Bank & Ecoblue, Sutha was a part of a community working to raise awareness about environmental issues and give back to communities.
Now, he has initiated his own community group aimed at raising awareness about plastic pollution and encouraging plastic collection and recycling.
Since joining Plastic Bank and EcoBlue, he has been receiving additional income, which helps him pay for electricity and water.
He hopes that more people will become aware and take action to implement proper plastic waste management, so his country can become plastic waste-free.
