Plastic Brand Audit in Songkhla

On International Coastal Cleanup Day, around 60 volunteers from the Songkhla Forum, Beach for Life, and Greenpeace together cleaned up the beach at Laem Son On in Songkhla province. The groups also conducted a plastic brand audit and collected data on plastic types and brands found on the beach. The activities were part of a global initiative meant to highlight corporations and fast consuming goods (FMCG) brands' responsibility on single-used plastic, widely used in their packaging, specifically for FMCGs to phase out single-use plastic in their products.

The results from the Songkhla brand audit will be collected and compiled along with other brand audits happening in more than 700 places around the world, with the intention of identifying what type of plastic is most used and which brands are among the top plastic polluters.
