In an era where technology accompanies us from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, electronic waste (e-waste) has become one of the fastest-growing environmental challenges worldwide. As people replace smartphones and IT devices more frequently, the lifespan of these gadgets continues to shorten. Despite the availability of many drop-off points, large volumes of e-waste remain stored at home, mixed with general waste or recycled improperly.
To mark International E-Waste Day 2025, True Corporation is stepping up its efforts by joining forces with leading partners across various industries to advance its "pick-up at your doorstep" concept. Through the "TinkTookTee DTorJai on the Go" initiative, True is rolling out a convenient mobile collection service, expanding routes from Ayutthaya to Bangkok and surrounding areas. The goal is to make proper e-waste disposal easy and accessible for people in residential communities, educational institutions and public transport hubs, allowing them to dispose of their e-waste responsibly without having to leave home or travel far.
Dr Naetchanok Wipatasinlapin, Head of Sustainability Division, True Corporation Plc, said: "E-waste is rapidly becoming a global challenge that requires collaboration across all sectors. The digital devices we use every day, if not properly managed, can turn into a long-term environmental burden.
"As a leading telecom and technology company, True Corporation is strongly committed to minimising this impact. So far, we have collected and processed over 1.99 million pieces of e-waste for recycling in compliance with international standards, and we continue to move towards our goal of 'Zero e-Waste to Landfill'.
"This year, we are taking a more proactive approach with the launch of 'TinkTookTee DTorJai on the Go', a mobile collection service that brings e-waste pick-up directly to people's doorsteps. This initiative makes it easier and more convenient for individuals, organisations and businesses to properly dispose of their e-waste.
"We started with a pilot in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province and are now expanding to key locations across Bangkok and the metropolitan area. This collaboration between the public and private sectors reflects a shared commitment to building a more environmentally conscious society and working together towards a sustainable future for the country."
