Giveaway campaign with nearly 1,200 prizes is also launched to boost e-waste collection
July 6, 2022 – dtac and IT CITY have teamed up to launch #ThinkHaiDeeMeeTaeDai campaign to create 30n additional e-waste drop-off points through IT CITY and CSC, Thailand’s leading IT superstore chain, across Bangkok. The collaboration is aimed at encouraging the return of old and end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment, also known as “e-waste”, to dedicated collection points as a part of proper e-waste management and to promote green growth and a circular economy.
Tipayarat Kaewsringarm, Chief Sales Officer at Total Access Communication Plc or dtac, said: “dtac’s mobile device sales have recently doubled, with significant growth through our partner channels – IT CITY and CSC – over the previous year creating higher environmental costs. To address our responsible business practice concerning the climate and environment, dtac joins hands with IT CITY and CSC to collect at least 420,000 unused mobile devices by this year-end. This marks a major step, playing a bigger role from exclusive business partner for sales channel toward sustainable growth business partner.
Pichai Neranartkomol, Vice Executive Chairman at IT CITY Plc, said: “As Thailand’s leading IT superstore chain with more than 400 branches nationwide, we found that about 97 percent of our total sales consisted of smartphones and electronic devices in the first half of 2022, doubling from 2021 in the same period. When those devices are unwanted or broken and at the end of their useful life, most of them are disposed improperly, leading to environmental challenges to communities and societies in the long-run. As IT CITY realizes the ongoing environmental crisis, we’re pleased to support dtac’s #ThinkHaiDee initiative and invite everyone to properly dispose of their e-waste through #ThinkHaiDeeMeeTaeDai campaign (Dispose properly, Win Prizes) at 30 IT CITY and CSC stores across Bangkok.”
