BITEC and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Launch Sustainable Community Project in Bang Na
BITEC and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration have partnered to transform the Phairot Book House into a sustainable library and playground using recycled materials.
The Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), under the Bhiraj Buri Group, has collaborated with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to revitalize the Phairot Book House in the Bang Na district. This initiative aims to foster community development by transforming the space into a 'sustainability library.'
A key feature of this project is the construction of a new playground for local children. Notably, the materials used for the playground and library upgrades are sourced from recycled paper and plastic waste generated during various trade shows and exhibitions hosted at BITEC. This effort is part of a broader sustainability program designed to repurpose event-related waste into functional community assets.
For residents and visitors in the Bang Na area, this project represents a positive shift toward community-focused urban development and environmental responsibility. It provides a new public space that emphasizes the circular economy. While the facility is now being established to serve the local neighborhood, details regarding specific operating hours or potential future expansions of this recycling initiative to other districts remain to be confirmed by the BMA and BITEC.
