The electronics firm, which sells hundreds of thousands of mobile phones each year and generates considerable quantities of in-house e-waste, says the campaign will make it a \u201c<strong>zero landfill<\/strong>\u201d operator by 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move comes amid growing international concern about disposal of used, broken or obsolete electronic devices, many of which contain contaminants capable of polluting areas near landfills if disposed of improperly. This can impact the health of nearby communities. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Dtac\u2019s journey to zero landfill has begun with the installation of blue e-waste disposal boxes at all of its dtac Hall shops. The boxes, and the campaign, are named \u201cThink Hai D\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>After a comprehensive selection process, dtac has also named its e-waste recycling partner in the \u201c<strong>Think Hai D<\/strong>\u201d campaign. The waste will be processed to international standards by <strong>TES<\/strong>, a global leader in environmentally-friendly electronic-waste recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TES will collect disused mobile phones and electronic devices from dtac\u2019s \u201cThink Hai D\u201d boxes, and will begin their disposal with an inventory detailing the number of items and their weight. The e-waste will then be sorted into different categories such as mobile phones, batteries, earphones, charging cables and power banks. Items will then be dismantled and parts sorted according to their materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_5.jpg 1280w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The dismantled parts will then be sent to a TES processing facility in Singapore, where precious materials like gold, copper, palladium and lithium will be retrieved, along with iron, aluminum and plastics. These materials may then be used as raw materials in new manufacturing processes. The process is able to recover 96 to 98 per cent of raw materials before reintroducing them into the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In launching its campaign, <strong>dtac said proper e-waste management would contribute to preserving limited natural resources, reducing carbon footprints and achieving the company\u2019s goal of zero landfill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A survey by the Department of Environment on management of disused e-wastes has underlined the need to \u201cThink Hai D\u201d and be concerned about e-waste. It found that more than half of users sell their obsolete devices to waste buyers. These buyers dismantle the e-waste devices and sell any retrievable parts. However, the remaining waste is improperly disposed of as general household trash, and heads for landfills where it can be a source of pollutants that contaminate the air, soil and water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/\u0e17\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e14\u0e35_7.jpg 1280w\" \/><figcaption>The Senior vice-President of Total Access Communications (dtac\u2019s) Communications and Sustainability Division, On-uma Rerkpattanapipat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Senior vice-President of Total Access Communications (dtac\u2019s) Communications and Sustainability Division, On-uma Rerkpattanapipat<\/strong>, said the \u201cThink Hai D\u201d program offers a convenient solution for those who want to properly dispose of electronic devices like old mobile phones and accessories in a safe and environmentally-friendly way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a major telecom operator, dtac sells hundreds of thousands of mobile devices each year.

Risks such as good governance and environmental management were vital aspects of the qualification process, including consent to dtac\u2019s Agreement of Responsible Business Conduct. Candidates had to have a valid Department of Industrial Works factory license type-106 for proper e-waste recycling and disposal, as well as being certified to NIST 800-88R1 standard &#8211; one of the most widely used data-sanitization standards for electronic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TES, which was established in 2005, is certified to international standards and is established at 38 locations in more than 20 countries.
