BACK How the BCG Model Meets the Sustainable Industrial Park Development Needs
The economic and industrial development of previous eras brought about two significant outcomes: on one hand, economic prosperity, and on the other, environmental degradation and declining quality of life for nearby communities—if not properly managed.
Over the years, several industrial estates have faced pollution issues, from production processes affecting rivers and residential areas surrounding industrial zones, to waste problems from manufacturing activities.
As the world increasingly recognizes the need for change to reduce environmental impact and protect communities, the Thai government has introduced the BCG Economy model (Bio-Circular-Green Economy) as a national agenda, with a five-year strategic plan. This model aims to link economic growth with industrial development, including the construction of rental factories or selling industrial estate land to investors looking to establish factories in Thailand.
What is BCG?
BCG stands for Bio, Circular, and Green—a holistic approach to economic development:
- Bio: Refers to production processes that use natural resources and are environmentally friendly.
- Circular: Focuses on recycling and reusing resources through production processes, extending the lifecycle of products.
- Green: Involves conservation and restoration of natural resources for sustainability.
These three pillars aim to ensure that economic development progresses hand in hand with preserving the natural balance. In the industrial sector, applying the BCG model can enhance the management of industrial estates and factory development, with a strong focus on social responsibility.
Key Components of BCG Linked to Industrial Estate Development
The Ministry of Industry has embraced this strategy, setting a goal for all factories in Thailand to be Green Industry certified by 2025. The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), which oversees all industrial estates, has also aligned its operations with this strategy, integrating the BCG model into industrial land development. The goal is to maintain the balance of natural resources and the environment without solely focusing on business profits.Whether it is the construction of manufacturing plants in the industrial estate to allow private or foreign investors to lease them, or the development of the area for investors to purchase it for their business operations. Key areas of focus for the industrial sector include:
- Introducing modern production technologies that maximize the use of natural resources.
- Balancing resource usage and replenishment.
- Implementing waste management systems to minimize environmental impact and protect surrounding communities.
- Promoting local employment to support community development.
- Delivering products to consumers in a way that minimizes waste, reducing overall community waste issues.
From the BCG Model to the Development of Eco-Industrial Estates
International investors interested in buying or leasing factory space in industrial estates often prioritize projects with strong environmental conservation practices. For industrial estates outside designated zones, the Department of Industrial Works (DIW) has emphasized developing areas under the concept of Eco Industry, which aligns with the BCG model. This approach not only ensures that industrial expansion goes hand in hand with environmental protection but also attracts more foreign investors to eco-industrial estates.
