CPAC will provide comprehensive technology consultation, covering 3D printing, engineering consultation, project evaluation support, and professional services in architectural design and other aesthetic considerations by a team of experienced experts. This expertise will be applied to the construction of buildings located in Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, SCG International plays a crucial role in overseeing the supply chain process from start to finish, ensuring the inspection and delivery of 350 tons of cement to customers. This ensures that the cement delivery and construction using this innovative technology will be executed efficiently, meet international standards, and fully satisfy customer requirements. The strong collaboration between CPAC, SAMSUNG E&A, and SCG International will not only elevate the construction industry’s standards but also support the growth of new innovations and technologies for sustainable construction in the future.

Microgrid SCG International, a part of the Green Solutions business group, has been awarded funding support for the innovation project “Transforming Technology into Capital.” This recognition stems from the development of its Energy Management System (EMS), which integrates various technologies and represents a sophisticated level of EMS implementation unprecedented in prior projects. The endorsement from the Corporate Innovation Office, providing consultation and guidance, further underscores the significance of participation in this project.

Microgrid SCG International plans to expand its operations to affiliated companies within the group, particularly those needing to accelerate compliance with RE100 and Fleet Electrification policies. This expansion may begin with small-scale Proof of Concept (PoC) trials before extending market reach to external projects, which must mitigate the impact of exporting to the European market under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the future.

Innovation for Renewable Energy Generations & Effective Energy Management System

Microgrids, located in specific areas, function independently or in tandem with the main grid. Comprising renewable energy sources, storage, and advanced controls, they create efficient, customized clean energy systems for communities, campuses, and industries. They promote widespread clean energy adoption and can cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 347 tons annually.

“The focus of Green Business Solution is on differentiation. Our solution is not about selling products but about offering value-added benefits to customers so that our business can expand and stand out. Microgrid is the future and the lifeline that we want to create and make a reality. SCG International would like to thank NIA for supporting our innovation to succeed”

“NIA prioritizes and provides mechanisms to support Thai entrepreneurs in creating, developing, and utilizing innovations to enhance business opportunities, especially within the Climate Tech group. Projects like the Microgrid in Bang Sue Complex serve as excellent examples of incorporating innovation into managing various loads, particularly in supplying power to electric vehicle charging stations, which are increasingly in high demand.”

B2B businesses are catalyzing a global shift towards sustainability and circular economies. SCG International, as a Trusted International Supply Chain Partner, we not only provide end-to-end supply chain solutions, from sourcing products to identifying distribution channels across various industries. But our commitment to sustainability is evident in our dedication to green solutions and minimizing our carbon footprint throughout our supply chain process strategies, while also supporting our partners in achieving their sustainability goals.

Every year, millions of tons of used liners from pressure-sensitive labels are sent to landfills and incinerators, despite the fact that all liners are recyclable. Avery Dennison, a global materials science and manufacturing company specializing in the design and manufacture of a wide variety of labeling and functional materials, is committed to attaining sustainability goals, which include reducing landfill waste, greenhouse gas emissions and foster a circular economy in the country. To assist Avery Dennison in reaching its goals, SCG International has entered into a collaboration for the recycling process.

With 40+ years of supply chain management experience, SCG International will assist Avery Dennison in reducing landfill waste, greenhouse gas emissions and foster a circular economy in the country. In our mission to bridge the gap between visionary initiatives and practical implementation, we leverage our extensive network and connections to identify a specialized recycling partner to contribute to the project. Each month, the recycling process begins when SCG International picks up used liners from the plant. The liner, often composed of various materials including silicon, goes through a rigorous de-siliconization process to remove any impurities. Once this step is completed, the purified material is then transformed into pulp. This transformation is crucial as it allows the materials to be reshaped and reformed. Rather than being disposed of, the pulp is given a new lease on life. It is used to manufacture two primary products: A4 paper, art paper and carton board. Through this efficient and sustainable cycle, SCG International not only contributes to waste reduction but also creates valuable and eco-friendly products, setting a precedent in the industry for waste management and recycling.

The collaboration between Avery Dennison and SCG International exemplifies how B2B partnerships can promote sustainable achievements. Every step in the right direction matters. Whether it’s incorporating recycled materials into your product line, implementing a strategic waste management plan, or redefining your supply chain processes to reduce carbon emissions. In a world where every decision can make a significant impact. Together, we can create a sustainable legacy for future generations. Let’s turn our shared sustainability goals into tangible, industry-wide changes. Embrace the green business solutions and begin your journey towards a more sustainable and profitable future.
