Prem Pruktayanon

CEO, GREEN2GET CO LTD

Industry : Advocacy

A computer engineering graduate, Prem launched Green2get, a digital platform for the circular economy, which enables all stakeholders—producers, consumers, and recyclers—to contribute to addressing waste problems. By scanning the QR code on a product, the application provides guidelines on how that product should be disposed of. Growing up in a family that runs a junk shop business, he was exposed from a young age to the concept of recycling, which he practiced even when no one else showed any interest. Since then, he has been able to inspire and motivate others through his work and his Facebook page "Uncle Tricycle and the Lost Garbage," featuring a cover photo with a quote from President Obama: "We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do something about it." The page offers simple explanations on waste management for easy implementation. He takes pride in being the founder of this circular economy platform, which represents a small step toward addressing the climate crisis and the future of the world.
