Dexon TechnologyRayong, Thailand—13 June—More than 30 Dexon employees rolled up their sleeves for a beach cleanup at Payoon Beach. Our volunteers hauled out 80 kg of trash and 19 kg of recyclables along 200 meters of coastline.
The target area included a swampy stretch where locals harvest crabs and sea cucumbers and another section lined with restaurants and apartments.
Most of the waste was plastic washed ashore from regional currents. This toxic mix of debris was primarily from Thailand, with a portion also coming from Vietnam, the Philipines, and Malaysia.
Why It Matters
Dexon’s latest clean up was not just a feel-good PR stunt. Cleanups like this deliver real, local benefits:
• Beautifies beaches
• Boosts local tourism
• Removes microplastics from the food chain
• Protects marine life
• Supports local businesses
Thailand’s Plastic Problem
According to a 2024 Nature report, Thailand is #9 globally for plastic pollution. The Land of Smiles dumps over 1 million tonnes of plastics into the environment each year.
The fallout ends up back on our shores, choking ecosystems, disrupting biodiversity, and entering the food we eat.
Recent policies, like the 2020 campaign to reduce single-use plastics and the 2025 plastic waste import ban, show progress, but Dexon and other businesses cannot wait for legislation.
