SWAP Recycling

SWAP App aims to make sure no packaging becomes waste. Low-value plastic waste collected through the SWAP Recycling program is sent to Asia Green Roads factories in Thailand, where it is shredded, processed and made into new products and materials instead of going to landfill.

The SWAP Recycling program, and the SWAP Recycling App are co-developed under a joint partnership between Mars Incorporated, Second Life (represented by PUR Development Pte. Ltd.) and Asia Green Roads. Users are rewarded points which can be exchanged for products, deals and discounts from major brands around Thailand.
