Bangchak Group announced Aug. 21 an expanded collaboration with organizations and schools across Thailand on the management of used cooking oil (UCO) to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Through the “Fry to Fly” and “No Refry” initiatives, the group is systematically building a collection network that promotes public-health awareness alongside environmental protection, supports the circular economy and contributes to Thailand’s target of achieving net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050.
On Aug. 20, Bangchak Group affiliates BSGF Company Ltd. and Bangkok Fuel Pipeline and Logistics Company Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on UCO management with the Sammacheep Foundation.
The collaboration aims to reduce environmental impacts and promote consumer health by encouraging business operators and network partners to manage UCO properly and efficiently through the “No Refry” and “Fry to Fly” initiatives and sell the collected oil to BSGF for SAF production.
In addition, Bai Mai Pun Suk Foundation, established by Bangchak Group, organized a “Fry to Fly Station” workshop for teachers and students from four participating schools in Bangkok and surrounding provinces.
The workshop covered global warming, the circular economy, efficient resource use, waste separation, healthy cooking-oil consumption and the management of “Fry to Fly” stations in schools.
Since its launch in late 2024, the “Fry to Fly Station” network has expanded to more than 50 educational institutions across 12 provinces.
The network has collected more than 10 tons of UCO, which has already been channeled into SAF production, and plans to continue expanding its partnerships nationwide.
