CP AXTRA Public Company Limited, the wholesale and retail operator of “Makro-Lotus,” reflected its commitment to sustainability on ‘Thai Environment Day’ through the successful implementation of the “Reduce, Dispose, Create Value AXTRA Zero Waste” project in 2025. This resulted in a reduction of over 31,700 tons of waste, equivalent to avoiding 109,649 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) in greenhouse gas emissions. The company has created tangible changes across all dimensions: environment, economy, and society, and continues its journey toward its goals of Zero Waste to Landfill by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, reducing food waste by over 15,000 tons.

In 2025, CP AXTRA successfully reduced food waste going to landfills through three main approaches: “Eat It, Don’t Throw It Away”: A project to donate surplus edible and good quality food to underprivileged individuals in various areas nationwide. In collaboration with Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, SOS Foundation, and social partners, over 4 million meals have been distributed.

Supporting surplus food for animal welfare: Working with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, food from Makro-Lotus branches near 27 wildlife conservation centers nationwide has been delivered, totaling over 2 million kilograms. Zero Waste, Hundreds of Thousands in Benefits (From Waste to Wealth): Utilizing green innovations, farmers are educated on using food waste to feed BSF protein larvae and processing it into value-added products, supporting the circular economy and reducing animal feed costs by over 79 million baht.

Reducing non-food waste by 16,755 tons for recycling: Every Makro-Lotus branch separates waste for recycling through three methods: collection points and over 149 Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs). A Recycle Market is also held every Saturday and Sunday. At 11 Makro-Lotus branches, over 2,200,000 plastic bottles have been collected back into the system, reflecting the company's seriousness in promoting waste separation and recycling in Thai society.

Taking the next step towards Sustainable Products: Transforming waste into new value. With a commitment to adding value to worthless waste, CP Axtra, in collaboration with partners, is developing new environmentally friendly products (Sustainable Products) for sale in all Makro-Lotus branches. This creates a sustainable future for Thailand in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). CP Axtra reaffirms its intention to be an organization that drives the responsible use of resources, reduces waste at every stage, and further develops the Circular Economy throughout the supply chain. This is achieved by collaborating with the government, private sector, and educational institutions to use innovation to sustainably reduce food and plastic waste, while supporting communities, farmers, and small business owners to participate. #CPAXTRA #makroxlotuss #axtragreentogether #CPAXTRAforABetterTomorrow #ReduceWasteCreateValueAxtraZeroWaste #CPforSustainability
