PL Empowers Communities: Transforming Unused Lottery Tickets into Value through the “Unused Lottery… Don’t Throw Them Away” Initiative
Phatra Leasing Public Company Limited (PL) is committed to driving organizational sustainability under the "PHATRA ZERO WASTE" concept. This initiative focuses on comprehensive waste management by promoting proper waste segregation, reducing disposal volume, and maximizing resource circulation to minimize environmental impact.
As a key project for 2025, the company launched the “Unused Lottery… Don’t Throw Them Away” initiative. Employees were invited to donate non-winning government lottery tickets, diverting paper waste from landfills and repurposing them into creative, value-added products for local communities.
Turning Paper Waste into Community Opportunities
The lottery tickets collected from our employees' contributions were delivered to the Learning Center for Children with Special Needs and the Community at Wat Huai Mu, Ratchaburi Province. These donations serve multiple impactful purposes:
- Skill Development: Used as educational tools to practice meditation and enhance the cognitive and motor skills of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
- Career Empowerment: Repurposed into handcrafted products, including funeral flowers (Dok Mai Chan), wreaths, fans, bags, and various paper-based crafts.
- Income Generation: Creating sustainable career paths and providing supplementary income for the community and families of children with special needs.
This project not only advances our Zero Waste goals by reducing paper waste but also enriches lives and strengthens communities. It reinforces PL’s mission to operate a business that balances economic growth with social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
