Smart Tradzt and DKSH Promote Green Packaging in Thailand

 

DKSH Business Unit Healthcare has made a significant breakthrough in enabling sustainable healthcare supply chains by measuring Scope 3 carbon emissions in Thailand successfully.

This was facilitated through a partnership with UOB FinLab's GreenTech Accelerator and sustainability technology provider Smart Tradzt based in Singapore.

The program also launched a reusable cold-chain package, B-Box, which was shown to have substantial environmental value.

The reusable B-40 box had emissions of approximately 27.19 kg CO₂e within five years, against about 5.03 kg for disposable Styrofoam equivalents, marking its green benefit.

Key Highlights:

• Singaporean company Smart Tradzt partners with DKSH to enhance emission transparency and promote sustainable supply chain practices in Thailand
• The collaboration aims to implement green logistics solutions and eco-friendly packaging, reducing environmental impact across the region
• This initiative underscores Singapore’s leadership in technological innovation and Thailand’s commitment to sustainable healthcare industry growth

The initiative employed Smart Tradzt's online platform to carry out an extensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), keeping global standards like the GHG Protocol and PACT Methodology in mind. Regardless of operational difficulties such as low awareness on the part of small suppliers and end-user disposal data gaps, the study gave useful insight into the mitigation of emissions.

"Our partnership reflects our dedication to transparency and sustainability. Monitoring Scope 3 emissions allows us to comply with regulatory requirements and provides concrete data for our clients' sustainability reporting." stated Bijay Singh, Global Head of DKSH Healthcare.

In the future, DKSH will roll out its reusable packaging programs across other markets, using the transparency achieved to build greater stakeholder trust and comply with changing regulatory expectations.
