CP Axtra has united all sectors to organize the “Waste Hunter” competition to foster participation as a driving force for sustainable waste management under the “AXTRA Circular Impacts” project, with a target to collect 10.5 million plastic bottles by 2026.
On 31 August 2026, CP Axtra Public Company Limited, the operator of wholesale and retail businesses “Makro-Lotus” under the Charoen Pokphand Group, advanced the model “AXTRA Circular Impacts” aimed at fostering participation in waste management and circular economy by connecting consumers, youth, schools, partners, and the Makro-Lotus network to collaboratively create change in various ways—from returning and sorting waste, sharing knowledge and inspiration among young people, to adding value to used materials.
The activity “AXTRA GREEN CHALLENGE Waste Hunter” is another event inviting Bangkok residents to turn waste collection and sorting into a fun competition that also produces positive impacts on public spaces.
The competition was held at Lan Tawan Yim, Lumphini Park, with enthusiastic participants. Each team collected and sorted waste within designated areas and times, earning points based on the amount collected. Team members also broadcast the competition atmosphere via Facebook Live to raise awareness and encourage society to engage in proper waste management.
Throughout the competition, participants collectively collected and sorted 99.31 kilograms of plastic and recyclable waste from Lumphini Park for proper processing. This reflected the power of community involvement in caring for public spaces and the urban environment, transforming waste collection into a concrete form of raising awareness and action toward the circular economy.
During the event, CP Axtra and the Buddharaksa Foundation under the Charoen Pokphand Group, represented by Ms. Siriporn Detsingh, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, donated 15 plastic bottle collection racks in Lumphini Park and 100 reflective vests made from recycled plastic bottles for Bangkok’s street sweepers to Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, supporting waste sorting and the work of city cleanliness staff.
CP Axtra continues to drive “AXTRA Circular Impacts” with a goal to collect 10.5 million plastic bottles by 2026 through engaging consumers, youth, schools, partners, and the Makro-Lotus network nationwide. This effort aims to reintegrate plastic bottles into the circular economy and create tangible new value, promoting the circular economy’s real implementation in everyday life.
