Packaging should only be called recyclable when it can be <strong>collected, sorted, processed, and converted into usable recyclate<\/strong> within existing or realistically deployable recycling systems. This evidence-based approach helps businesses avoid greenwashing risks and costly redesigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before founding Circular Pack Asia, Chayan was <strong>Regional Product Sustainability Senior Manager at Huhtamaki (SEAO)<\/strong>, leading recyclable packaging strategies for flexible packaging and supporting the shift toward <strong>mono-material solutions<\/strong>. He has also held senior roles in <strong>R&amp;D, Quality, and Supplier Development<\/strong>, giving him a strong end-to-end view of packaging systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Industry &amp; Policy Engagement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chayan actively contributes to <strong>EPR and packaging sustainability discussions in Thailand and Southeast Asia<\/strong>, working with industry associations, recyclers, and regulators to ensure policies are <strong>technically achievable and system-aligned<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Circular Pack Asia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Circular Pack Asia provides <strong>independent, Asia-relevant sustainability advisory<\/strong>\u2014free from material bias.
