SCG Chemicals (SCGC), a leader in integrated polymer business solutions for sustainability, has partnered with Kao Industrial (Thailand), a leading manufacturer of consumer goods and chemical products from Japan, known for brands such as Attack, Bioré, Haiter, Magiclean, Laurier, and Feather, to develop sustainable recycled packaging for the “Feather” hair care products.

This packaging is made from high-quality recycled plastic resin, SCGC Green Polymer, utilizing SCGC's advanced recycling technology. The packaging is designed to have a low carbon footprint and is 100% recyclable, adhering to circular economy principles to maximize resource efficiency.

Yuji Shimizu, President of Kao Industrial (Thailand) Company Limited, said, “When people think of Kao, one of the products that everyone knows is the 'Feather' shampoo brand, which has been a part of Thai households for 60 years. Feather was the first product that Kao introduced in Thailand, evolving from the original powdered sachet form to its current format. In addition to continuously developing its formulas, Kao has also been committed to advancing its packaging to meet environmental needs. In 2024, Kao revamped its packaging by collaborating with SCGC, a leader in integrated recycled plastic technology, to develop sustainable bottles for the 'Feather' hair care products. By choosing High Quality PCR HDPE Resin, we are giving new life to used plastic, transforming it into valuable materials once again.”

Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud, Chief Executive Officer & President of SCG Chemicals (SCGC), said, “SCGC specializes in recycling technology and offers a wide range of green polymer solutions to meet the diverse needs of customers across different industries, such as packaging and electronics. SCGC develops production formulas and technologies tailored to these needs, ensuring both quality and environmental sustainability. In our collaboration with Kao, SCGC has developed high-quality recycled plastic resin, SCGC GREEN POLYMER, using High Quality PCR HDPE Resin for Feather shampoo bottles. This packaging has a low carbon footprint, is 100% recycle, and is safe for contact with the product without affecting its properties.”
