Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a global sustainable chemical company, led by Mrs. Aradhana Lohia Sharma, Vice President, Indorama Ventures (3rd from the left), showcased their sustainable fashion products under the "RECO Collective" at Baan Dusit Thani, Bangkok.

RECO Collective is a collaborative platform that aims to create sustainable fashion throughout the value chain, initiated by Indorama Ventures along with three partners, namely Thai-Taffeta, Dapper, and Ecotopia who provided knowledge-sharing sessions about the value of recycled materials, fabrics made from 100% recycled PET, extensive networking opportunities, and marketing support.

Indorama Ventures has consistently led the way in driving recycling and upcycling education for over a decade through its flagship “RECO Young Designer Competition”, which promotes the value of recycled materials and the circular economy through creativity and innovation for students and the general public in Thailand.

At the RECO Collective Launch Event, a special collection was unveiled by seven up-and-coming fashion brands: JIRAWAT, GOSH, MJSN, PREM, CHANA, ENDPROOF and HeARTh, aiming to revolutionize the sustainable fashion industry and contribute to the business sector's efforts in minimizing environmental impact.
