Asst. Prof. Dr. Wechsawan Lakas known as Dr. Pow is a visionary innovator in sustainable infrastructure through his Green Road project. As a respected faculty member in the Department of Industrial Technology at Chiang Mai Rajabhat University, he’s transforming waste materials into the roads, turning environmental responsibility into a concrete reality. With his background in civil engineering, he drew inspiration from international research on waste processing. He discovered that plastic waste shares the same petrochemical origin as asphalt, making it a viable replacement, which led to the idea of converting plastic waste into a substitute material for asphalt.

Dr. Pow’s innovative approach redefines infrastructure by transforming waste into valuable resources, which challenges traditional solutions. In addition to this innovative project, Dr. Pow’s Green Road also offers upcycling workshops and products, creating environmentally friendly materials from plastic waste. His work is transforming how we manage waste and build infrastructure, making Thailand’s roads a symbol of creative recycling and sustainable progress.
