Ambassador: Aushim Merchant , Thailand
In 2014 Aushim created MK Aromatics Limited in Thailand to help address the issue of plastic waste causing landfill and environmental damage. With the use of state-of-the-art technology, his company converts 6,000 tonnes of non-recyclable post-consumer waste plastics to 4 million litres of petroleum annually, saving 7,000 tonnes of greenhouse.
As part of his mission to protect the environment Aushim has educated over 5,000 people about environmental impact and encouraged the planting of 100,000 trees, and provides educational tours around his factories for 80 schoolchildren a year.
