Under Phansopa’s leadership, Perfect Paper has expanded significantly, processing between 20,000 to 40,000 tonnes of used paper monthly from households, banks, universities and publishing houses. The paper is then sorted, compressed and distributed to clients for use as raw materials in various products.

With over 20 years of experience in the family business, Phansopa has overseen the company’s growth from a small-scale operation to a significant player in Thailand’s recycling industry. She has been instrumental in modernising the company’s operations by implementing digital solutions for logistics and marketing, resulting in improved efficiency and increased revenue.
