Meanwhile the crisis also caused changes in behavior and lifestyle, including work, the purchase of goods and services.

How can plastic chemicals play a role in medicine during the past crisis?
Dr. Chaya said that on the basis of public health, Thailand is ranked the sixth best in the world, but medical supplies, medical equipment must also be imported from abroad Every year, its value is up to 2-3 thousand million baht, of which more than 50% of hospital devices are disposable and most of them are plastic. Before the COVID-19 epidemic PTGC co-invented Research and development of medical equipment Continuously cooperate with leading medical institutions. Lead to the production of high quality medical devices at affordable prices. This is to reduce the cost burden on users. It also has a goal for domestic production. Add value to plastic
“Plastics have many properties that we use in medicine. In which Thais can get the job done. Can be used locally.But the quality can still compete with foreign countries or products that cannot be imported. Because there is still a lack of an agency that fulfills the duty to inspect the standards When the COVID-19 epidemic hits Demand for medical supplies is increasing. But it may matter less We are trying to make replacements, so GC provides essential equipment, such as protective gear.Mask EPP mask, mask set, in collaboration with partners to bring plastic that is available in the country to form products Adjust the function according to the style of use It may not be 100% correct, but it needs to be developed, ”said Dr. Chaya.
sideDeputy Prof. Anan Manomaipibul President of the Navamindradhiraj University added that “Due to the properties of flexible plastics More resistant to friction, which allows the creation of equipment superior to many devices. Plastics will compete with fiberglass. With nanotechnology But on the other hand, if these plastics lack much. Finally, the fate of microplastics is submerged in the sea. Thailand is one of the main sources of marine pollution in the world, however, the circular economy or circular life is not a denial of the use of plastic. But we must know how to use it when necessary You must know how to reuse. And finally destroy it well Can you find something to replace? If it can’t be used, it should be used to get the most benefit. Medical plastics are still huge. And still I have the need to use “
Finally, we have to admit that the world has changed. New Normal now becomes Next Normal. Adjust MySet with exposure to technology and learn quickly. Circular Living is not the best idea. Rather, it is about finding ideas that we can make to suit most lifestyles.
