Skål International Krabi, in partnership with the Ao Nang Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, has launched a recycling initiative to support sustainability in Krabi, Thailand.
The initiative, led by Ingeborg Fallet Kristensen, managing director of Krabi Spesialisten and Skål International Krabi president, was introduced last week at an event at Ao Nang’s Aloe Villas, which included an update on key projects from the governor’s office and a pledge to ensure efficient recycling.
Working with stakeholders to address various environmental challenges, including waste reduction and long-term conservation efforts, Skål International Krabi’s initiative highlights the importance of community involvement in promoting sustainable tourism.
The pilot project features the first four sets of collection bins sponsored by Krabi Spesialisten Co., Krabi Cliff Villas Co., Aloe Boutique Villas, and Fast Manta Diving Krabi Co. Moving forward, Skål International Krabi is inviting local businesses to sponsor additional bins, offering a unique opportunity to promote their brands while actively contributing to Ao Nang’s environmental efforts.
Etienne Jay from NatureMind-ED, representing the Skål International Krabi executive committee, shared that the focus was on improving waste management in Ao Nang by installing new recycling bins throughout the community.
Kristensen commented: “We are thrilled with the success of our sustainability event and the enthusiastic response to our 2025 Trash and Recycling Program. It is inspiring to see this initiative taking shape, and I hope it will encourage both locals and visitors to take part in protecting our beautiful environment.”
