With technology’s growing presence in our organization, our employees need to learn more about tech solutions for efficient applications. In this volume, four employees shared their perspectives with a LOT after they jointly developed an AI-enabled integrated wood management system – one of SCGP’s key projects.

“I am in charge of paper-pulp production. But basically, I am passionate about Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI. I thus always think of how to use my passion for my company. Thanks to our supportive work environment, my initiative could take off. Colleagues are open-minded. Communications are fast and I have fun working.

“In the past, our staff measured wood logs onsite to get raw materials. But now, we use AI for measurement. It is possible because my team and forestry unit supported my idea of AI application. This AI solution works well for us, farmers, as well as the environment in the long run because it ensures quality materials for our plant and proper pay for sellers. Farmers naturally pay more attention to their forest plantations for compliance with our AI-enabled measurement system’s criteria.”

Nattavut Mekmok 

TPC Pulp Production Department Manager, TPC

“I have long studied and developed data-science models. So, I always look for ways to apply data science to my job. As SCGP encourages innovations and offers learning opportunities, I get access to a sandbox and a reasonable budget to experiment with my ideas.

“This project integrates Computer Vision. With the help of CCTV, images are streamed into my model that accurately detects a targeted log and measures its size. The big challenge of this project is quality image enhancement, as we need to train the model and constantly improve its accuracy. Quality is important because the model is really used to facilitate operations and determine money issues for both internal and external parties. My model was simple. I developed it and conducted the proof of concept with my computer. Initially, I just checked if the model could detect a log. Then, I developed it further and further until this project kicked off. I am so proud. I am determined to develop it further.”

Phiphatsak Thairatana

Supply Chain Analyst – SCGP

“It’s quite a challenge to persuade our partners to try and accept our new log measurement system. We have convinced them by showing a comparison between the old and the new systems. We underline accuracy and communicate to boost farmers’ understanding.

“To me, SCGP is like a big school. It has taught me many things, including hard skills and soft skills. I now believe in the value of others. With mutual respect, I work happily every day.”

Fontip Sornsurad

Raw Material and Warehouse Section Manager – TPC Pulp

“SCGP has prepared formal and informal communication channels for us to express our opinions and receive advice. So, I have the courage to propose new ideas. Importantly, because all staff are capable, we can learn from one another. As we have shared our perspectives, we have seen the same goal and driven our organization forward together.

“I think trust from colleagues, customers, and suppliers comes from how we have treated others. When we deliver good things and solutions, we automatically win trust and credibility.

Siwarak Butdee

“Market-Led and Innovation-Driven”, “Creating Sustainable Income Opportunities with Fast-growing Economic Trees”

At the recent academic seminar titled “Market-Led and Innovation-Driven for Income Growth Through Fast-growing Economic Trees” held at the Faculty of Forestry, Kasetsart University, the network involved in the cultivation and management of fast-growing economic trees unanimously agreed that “fast-growing economic trees” (with a harvesting cycle of no more than 7 years and a growth rate of over 1.5 centimeters in diameter per year) are still filled with benefits and opportunities to generate income for the growers. Most of these growers are small-scale farmers and individuals in the supply chain. This is due to the high domestic and international market demand, especially the current trend of processing them into “eco-friendly products” as alternatives to plastics derived from fossil fuels. This aligns with the megatrend of reducing global warming, which will change consumer behavior and global trade rules to be more environmentally friendly.

However, to achieve success in these initiatives, employing “Market-led” and “Innovation-driven” strategies is necessary. This means cultivating fast-growing economic trees that meet current and future market demands by incorporating technology and innovation to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase per-rai yield to meet market quality requirements. This is particularly true for eucalyptus and rubber trees, the two fast-growing economic trees currently driving Thailand’s fast-growing economic tree market, resulting in a higher “return on investment.” As farmers’ incomes increase, there is a motivation to expand the planting area from the current area of no more than 5 million rai, leading to “sustained investment in the industry.”

Mahasan Thieravarut, Managing Director of Siam Forestry Company Limited, a subsidiary of SCGP, which promotes the planting of eucalyptus under the “Khu Din by SCGP” brand, highlights the potential of fast-growing economic trees, noting the increasingly diverse uses of such trees in the current market. These trees are being developed into products used in daily life, especially in Europe, such as wooden cultlery; clothing produced from wood pulp; water bottles made from wood pulp as an alternative to PET plastic bottles; and roofing materials utilizing wood pulp (wood for construction), including wood pulp as an ingredient in medicine production. Furthermore, there is a trend towards developing other “Bio-based” products, contributing to an ongoing reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

“In the past, our company has worked on developing plant species and has encouraged small-scale farmers to plant saplings before buying them back to bring into our pulp plants within the group. We see that eucalyptus is a leading fast-growing economic tree in Thailand. However, a challenge is that these trees are not planted in large plots. About 70-80% of the land is grown by small-scale farmers in areas of 5-10 rai, posing a challenge to expand the planting area into large plots of 50 rai to achieve economies of scale.”

In addition, the seminar noted that the government and relevant sectors must collaborate more in “promoting the planting of fast-growing economic trees” to meet the increasing future demand for their use. This includes designating zoning areas for the utilization of land for planting fast-growing economic trees, enacting laws to support greater use of wood products, such as tax reductions or other incentives, creating awareness and understanding of the benefits of planting fast-growing economic trees that using wood products does not destroy forests but rather helps increase them (the more we use, the more we plant), fostering collaboration in developing species together with the government, and pushing projects for planting fast-growing economic trees along with other economic plants (agroforestry) to maximize the benefits of land use, providing farmers with additional income while waiting for the fast-growing economic trees to reach the harvest cycle.
Pramuan Pratoom, an advisor to Siam Tree Development Company Limited, said that eucalyptus still has a distinct market but requires good management to increase per rai yield and must develop diverse uses to increase the wood’s value. 

“Some people say eucalyptus has no future, which is not true. It’s more about how the area is managed. Do not view eucalyptus negatively when, in reality, it helps create jobs and generate income. We need to shift our perspective towards better management. The overall use of eucalyptus in Thailand is at 5-6 million tons per year, with exports to Japan, China, Taiwan, and Indonesia. In 2023, exports amounted to 5.17 million tons.”

Wattanapong Thongsoi, a representative of the Thai Biomass Trade Association, shared insights on the energy wood situation, saying that in the long term, the energy wood market in Thailand, which currently consists of more than 50% rubberwood, will be driven by the goal of carbon neutrality and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. These global goals aim to reduce the use of fossil fuels, presenting an opportunity to expand the energy wood market. Thailand has a strong position due to its abundant raw materials and tropical location, facilitating rapid tree growth.
However, it is necessary to have good planting and marketing management by cultivating large plots, which can lead to a maximum investment return of up to 20%. Development should occur simultaneously among growers, processors, and exporters. At the same time, products must be diversified, and research should be expanded in more dimensions, such as logistics.

Samran Hantaley, CEO of Kitti Wana Group, believes that the planting of fast-growing economic trees creates opportunities, jobs, and income for farmers and leads to an increase in diverse industries related to wood. Additionally, he observed the continuous development of eucalyptus species, which has led to an increase in yield per rai to 20-25 tons within a 4.5-year growth period, compared to the original eucalyptus species (seed propagation), which yields only 8-10 tons per rai but takes 8-10 years to grow. Therefore, species that meet market demand are something that those in this industry must not overlook.

Prachak Ruenrit, a representative from SilviCarbon Agroforestry Company Limited, said that the cultivation of fast-growing economic trees suitable for growers and processors requires the use of innovations, such as species improvement and selection, sapling production, planting and maintenance, utilization of wood, marketing, and finance. Continuous development in all these areas is essential.
Associate Professor Dr. Nopparat Kaakkurivaara, a lecturer of the Department of Forestry Engineering at the Faculty of Forestry, Kasetsart University, believes that technology used in the cultivation and management of fast-growing economic trees must address the needs of the growers. With over 70% of Thailand’s fast-growing economic tree growers being small-scale farmers, technology must be accessible, user-friendly, compact, easily transportable, and affordable. This is essential to promote the widespread application of technology in managing fast-growing economic forests.

Natnarong Iammee, manager of Tree Technology Company Limited, suggested that planting eucalyptus on ridges between paddies can enhance land utilization efficiency and increase income for farmers. Many ridges, currently left unused, can be modified to be 1.5-3 meters wide, and if fast-growing economic trees are planted on these ridges—80-200 trees per rai—within 6 years, farmers could generate an income of 24,000-40,000 baht per rai. However, proper care and management are necessary to achieve the quality demanded by the market. Therefore, policy support from the government is seen as crucial, such as financial support and the provision of knowledge on managing fast-growing economic trees to maximize benefits.

All of this reflects the potential of fast-growing economic trees from the perspective of distinguished speakers from the network of cultivation and management of fast-growing economic trees. They all see the “opportunity” in developing fast-growing economic trees in terms of expanding the planting area into larger plots, utilizing market-led and innovation-driven strategies to make fast-growing economic trees a more significant driver of the economy in the future.
 

SCGP Announces Q1/2024 Operating Results with Profit of Baht 1,725 Million, Driving Strategy for Quality Growth

SCGP announced its Q1/2024 operating results, with total revenue from sales of Baht 33,948 million, marking a 1% growth, and profit of Baht 1,725 million, surging by 41% compared to the same period of last year. This growth was fueled by improved production efficiency, effective cost management, product portfolio alignment with market dynamics, and increased sales volume. SCGP is set to foster further growth with investments in M&P, packaging solutions innovation, and continuous improvement in production efficiency.

 

Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited or SCGP, said that overall packaging industry in ASEAN continues its steady recovery, propelled by favorable economic factors, manufacturing sector growth, improvement in exports, and Thailand’s thriving tourism. These have led to increased usage of packaging across industries. For the integrated packaging business, sales volumes have surged across all product categories. Meanwhile, further signs of recovery are emerging for durable goods packaging such as apparel and footwear, thanks to decelerating global inflation. In addition, the packaging paper industry has seen a boost in demand both domestically and for exports to certain areas, particularly South Asian countries, while the fibrous business has experienced increased sales of foodservice packaging amidst recovery of tourism. Nonetheless, there were seasonal effects from the Lunar New Year holiday in China and Vietnam, and soft demand in the automotive segment during this quarter. On cost side, raw materials costs have been gradually increasing in line with the rise of packaging demand. Energy cost was moving sideways while freight cost went up at the beginning of the year amid geopolitical issues in the Middle East and started to subside in latter part of the quarter. Amidst abovementioned factors, SCGP has demonstrated resiliency while adjusted the product portfolios to align with market situations and capitalized on opportunities to effectively sustain the strategic supply chains.

 

In Q1/2024, revenue from sales amounted to Baht 33,948 million, up by 1% YoY, driven by improved sales volumes across both integrated packaging business and fibrous business. EBITDA reached Baht 5,151 million, marking a 15% increase YoY, while the profit for the period surged to Baht 1,725 million, up by 41% YoY. These results stem from strategic growth initiatives, continuous improvement in production efficiency to reduce costs through Machine Learning and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in packaging paper production, and efficient management of recovered paper sources in the region, amidst rising raw material prices, through a diversified network covering Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, totaling 155 locations (doubled in number in the past three years).

 

SCGP has allocated a budget of Baht 10,000 million for Merger & Partnership (M&P) investments in high-growth potential sectors such as consumer packaging, fiber packaging, healthcare-related businesses, and medical supplies & labware for packaging demand that is expected to continue improving due to the positive development in manufacturing sector and export performance. This is part of the total CAPEX budget for this year amounting to Baht 15,000 million. On M&Ps, negotiations are currently progressing well, with expected conclusion in certain deals within this year.

 

For growth through production capacity expansion, in March, SCGP has successfully completed its organic expansion of corrugated containers production capacity in Samutsakorn and Samutprakan provinces. This project adds 75,000 tons per year, which is equal to 9% of the total production capacity in Thailand. The project utilizes modern production and printing technologies such as robotics, automation, and printing applications. The new production base is strategically located close to the export-oriented frozen product manufacturing hub, enabling the company to better accommodate and meet customers’ needs while enhancing cost competitiveness in transportation.

 

SCGP continues to innovate its packaging to meet customers’ demand and strategizes to enhance production efficiency to cope with volatility in raw material and energy prices. The implementations of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in packaging paper production processes are being rolled-out further to plants in Indonesia and Vietnam. Furthermore, efficient utilization of resources is under focused along with the continuous reduction of net greenhouse gas emissions to zero (Net Zero) by 2050, in line with ESG framework.

 

SCGP has also recently received an ESG performance evaluation score of 85 from S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), maintaining its position within the top 1% globally for the second consecutive year. This recognition stems from resolute commitment to conducting business sustainably. Additionally, SCGP was honored with Best Green Loan award in Sustainable Finance category at The Asset Triple A Awards 2024 by The Asset, a leading finance magazine in Asia. This accolade was received for Green Loan, with support from Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, that will be used in investment in environmental projects in line with ESG Framework.

SCGP joins hands with Thai Beverage Recycle, Bringing used paper back to recycle, creating more value according to the Circular Economy principles

SCGP, led by Mr. Peeraphong Thepwarintr, Manager – Recycling Solutions (Acting Director – Recycling Materials Management), and Thai Beverage Recycling Co., Ltd. or TBR, represented by Mr. Boonanake Wannapanich, Assistant Managing Director, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on “Taking back used paper packaging and recycling them systematically to sustainably conserve the environment.” on March 15, 2024 at Lao Peng Nguan Building, 32nd floor. SCGP will bring TBR’s used paper packaging materials back into the entire production process.

 

This cooperation shows the trust from TBR, one of the business leaders in post-consumer packaging management in Thailand, in having SCGP co-manage the collection of paper packaging for recycling correctly and efficiently. SCGP continues to build collaboration as well as continuously creates innovations that better meet the needs of customers and consumers. We pay attention to the maximum use resources according to the Circular Economy principles and adopting digital technologies to the work in the organization. This will help improve operational processes throughout the value chain to bring about the business growth and sustainability for all stakeholders.
 

SCGP collaborates with the Royal Thai Embassy in Dakar, Foster Business Ties between Thailand and Senegal, Empowering Business Leaders with Packaging Expertise and Highlighting Thai Private Sector’s Potential

Last March, SCGP, in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy in Dakar, welcomed 20 Senegalese and Gambian businessmen who were interested in a study tour and the packaging business negotiation. Mrs. Juthamart Sayampol, Manager – Creative Design Management- Inspired Studio and Packaging Solutions, SCGP, was a business lecturer at this event and provided basic knowledge about packaging solutions, and the potential of SCGP for the growth needs of the international market.

 

“Senegal is an emerging country with great potential. Economically, it is a developing country that has a large number of agricultural products. Therefore, SCGP’s packaging innovation is needed. This is an opportunity for both Senegal and Thailand to increase trade and investment with each other,” said Ms. Papada Pakdethanakul, Second Secretary, Royal Thai Embassy in Dakar.

 

“The innovations presented in this SCGP Inspired Solutions Studio have many benefits for the sustainability of the Senegalese market. It also helps reduce the impact on the environment. We like it and are very impressed, especially with foodservice packaging which is in great demand in our country. The packaging solutions will help us be more accessible and healthier. What also impressed me was SCGP’s packaging paper recycling and reusing system,” stated Mr. Abdourahman Jallow, CEO – Afro Express, Gambia.

“Anya Songkran Gift Set” is a small silver bowl packaging set for Songkran festival

Songkran, or the Thai New Year, is considered a time of joy and joy that has been passed down for a long time because there will be water splash, powder patching, ablution, as well as an opportunity for those who work away from home to return to their families or loved ones.

However, during the Songkran festival, there is one activity that is believed to be practiced by most Thai people. That is water-pouring ceremony to ask a blessing from a respected elder using water as a medium to show respect, humility, and apology for things that have been offended. 

 

Mr. suchanat chidthai, Designers from SCGP realized the importance of watering black tubers, so they designed the “Anya Songkran Gift Set”, a small silver bowl packaging set and Thai scented water that will make Songkran festival no longer boring and can be used for further use.

 

 Anya Project or “Anya”

 

After receiving a request from a customer and discovering that the product only contained a small bowl of silver and Thai scented water, the SCGP design team intended to design this packaging to add value and elevate important items for watering adult tubers during the Songkran festival.

 

Before brainstorming until it crystallizes into the shape of a flower bush with unique details that convey goodness, pure love and freshness under the concept of “infinite goodwill” which is the origin of the name Anya in Thai name.

 

Take Action 

 

Initially, SCGP wanted to utilize the most of one of the strengths of the organization, Micro Flute, with the “Anya Songkran Gift Set”. Not a single point is glue, but all elements can be connected or fastened together by the folding method.

 

On the part of the lid, which is of great importance. It is designed to help lock the small silver bowl and Thai scented water from moving. But if you want to take it out and use it, you can easily open the top cover.

 

Together with digital printing technology, graphic patterns of various auspicious symbols, this is very suitable for this special packaging because SCGP’s Digital Print is suitable for small production and does not need to be blocked for production.

 

Although the exterior is extravagant and predictably costly, at every design stage, SCGP has set a budget, resulting in the “Anya Songkran Gift Set” being affordable and suitable to give to others during the Songkran festival.

 

Illuminates After Use 

 

The special “Anya Songkran Gift Set”, a small silver bowl packaging set and Thai scented water, is not over yet because the design team of SCGP has already planned and designed after taking out a small silver bowl and a bottle of Thai scented water. This flower bush shaped packaging must not become mere waste in the future.

 

The “Anya Songkran Gift Set” is a small silver bowl packaging set and Thai scented water, which can be used as home decoration or other items to replace bowls and scented water bottles.

 

But the highlight is inevitably turning the “Anya Songkran Gift Set” into a table lamp. 

 

The quality and value of “Anya Songkran Gift Set”, a small silver bowl packaging set and Thai scented water from SCGP, is guaranteed by receiving the Thai Star Award in the Consumer Package category at the ThaiStar Packaging Award in 2021.

 

However, if any entrepreneur wants their own packaging to add value like the “Anya Songkran Gift Set”, a small silver bowl packaging set and Thai scented water, they can consult or ask for more information from SCGP at any business time.
