TCMC Partners with QSNCC to Repurpose Carpets from the IMF–World Bank Group 2026 Meetings for 14 Temples and Educational Institutions, Driving the Circular Economy to Local Communities
BANGKOK – TCM Corporation Public Company Limited (TCMC), in partnership with the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) and Carpet International Thailand, is putting circular economy principles into tangible action by donating over 50,000 square meters of exhibition carpeting used during the 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group. Valued at 4.7 million THB in total operational costs, the repurposed carpets are being handed over to 14 temples and educational institutions.
The world-class international conference took place from October 12–18, 2026, at QSNCC. Following the conclusion of the event, TCMC and its partners carried out an end-to-end resource management plan—spanning careful dismantling, quality sorting, and transportation to religious sites and schools in need across Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, and adjacent provinces. This effort significantly reduced post-event waste while delivering practical benefits back to local communities.
Mr. Pimol Srivikorn, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TCM Corporation Public Company Limited, stated:
“TCMC is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 while actively advancing our operations in alignment with the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy model. This initiative is a concrete example of giving materials that have completed their commercial use a second life to benefit society—extending product lifespans and effectively diverting waste from landfills. We extend our sincere gratitude to QSNCC for being an invaluable partner in delivering shared value and championing sustainability alongside us.”
This handover marks another significant milestone for TCMC in operationalizing reuse within the industry. It demonstrates that post-event material management from world-class gatherings can create meaningful new value and serve as a vital bridge connecting corporate responsibility with local community empowerment.
