Description of the mission

Job Description:

We are looking to run an innovation supply chain pilot to procure Flexible plastics/ films such as LDPE, HDPE, PP,/ MLP through means of responsible sourcing, ensuring transparent supply chains that can operate with secured availability. The aim is to develop and demonstrate a scalable model for collecting and recycling flexible plastic snack packaging in Thailand. This approach is intended to improve feedstock quality while demonstrating how informal-sector collection systems can supply flexible plastics into recovery pathways.

The project will prioritize social impact within the waste value chain. Baseline and follow-up assessments will measure improvements in waste worker livelihoods, occupational safety, and working conditions. The initiative will also provide operational support such as personal protective equipment, suitable upgrades, and training to strengthen responsible sourcing practices. The pilot will generate insights into how policy and market incentives can enable system change for flexible plastic recovery, including EPR policy insights.

The pilot is expected to start from April and continue for at least 7 months. The location for the pilot is expected to be in the Greater Bangkok Area, Thailand.

In pursuance of this, we are looking for an enterprising individual for the position of Project Manager for sourcing of Flexible plastics/ films such as LDPE, HDPE, PP,/ MLP.
