The Krabi bottle passport
A Southern Thailand pilot describes how used PET bottles could be traced through a recycling chain, from collectors in Krabi to a new bottle.
- For
- PET collectors and recycling partners in Krabi
- Worth noticing
- Public passports use seller codes instead of names, and omit phone numbers, addresses, ID numbers, coordinates, and photos.
Field notes
The page maps a pilot route from independent collectors on Koh Lanta and Koh Sriboya through a Krabi buying point, washing and flaking, transport, rPET production, and a proposed bottle-making stage in Surat Thani. It says handoffs are meant to record weights and supporting evidence; public passports use seller codes, while contact details and location data stay off the public view. The final bottle stage is conditional on a food-contact safety assessment.
