BEHIND OUR PACKAGING

We believe doing business should come with the lowest obvious and hidden costs to the environment. That’s why we’re rethinking our packaging to reduce its impact starting with the materials we use. Below are our selected materials and the reasons behind each choice.

CHOICE 1: POST CONSUMER RECYCLED PLASTICS

A study* shows that recycled plastics have significantly lower environmental impacts than virgin plastics due to reduced energy use, avoided fossil resource extraction, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Virgin Plastic VS PCR Plastics

Virgin + No Recycling:

PCR + Recycling:

We know this is just one step, and PCR alone isn’t the full solution - but it’s part of our ongoing effort to reduce waste and make better packaging choices over time. We’re continuously working to increase the use of PCR materials, with the aim of getting as close to 100% as possible as technology allows. At the same time, we’re exploring alternative packaging solutions that will reduce or eliminate plastic altogether.

OUR EFFORT & PROGRESS

Over the past year, switching to post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic has helped us cut down on the use of virgin plastic. From 2022–2025, we’ve made solid progress:

• 2,106 kg of our packaging is made from PCR plastic — about 52% of total packaging (Chart A) 

• 2,948 kg of CO₂ emissions avoided — a 29% reduction compared to using only virgin plastic. Since launching, we’ve reduced emissions by an average of 737 kg per year (Chart B & C) 

• Some products, like our spray and gallon bottles, are already made from 100% recycled plastic, and we’ll continue increasing recycled content as materials and technology improve (Chart D)

CHOICE 2: MATERIAL WITH A HIGH RECYCLING RATE

We focus on choosing packaging materials that can actually be recycled, so they stay in circulation instead of becoming waste.

• Over half of our packaging is made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is the most recycled plastic in Thailand thanks to its high resale value and strong demand. Both formal and informal recycling systems actively collect it. 

• We also use HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), the second most recycled plastic. Its thicker structure makes it easier to process, and there’s steady demand for recycled HDPE. 

• Refill pouches are still difficult to recycle due to their multi-layer structure and limited recycling infrastructure in Thailand. To address this, we’ve added 30–35% PCR content despite higher costs and technical challenges. As of April 2026, we’ve resolved these issues and aim to upgrade all refill pouches with improved PCR resin by the end of the year. 

• Our caps, measuring caps, and spray triggers are made from PP (Polypropylene), which is the third most recycled plastic and continues to grow in recycling demand. 

Beyond recyclability, we also aim to keep things simple and use less material overall. For example, we use push-pull caps instead of pumps for our dish soap - they require less plastic and are usually made from a single material, making them easier to recycle compared to multi-material pumps.

SIMPLE GUIDE TO RECYCLING

Recycling shouldn’t be confusing. This guide is here to show you exactly how to sort, recycle, and make sure your LAGA packaging stays in the loop - not in landfill.
