Ms. Nicha Srisanguansakul, Senior Vice President of Commercial and Retail Management at property developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), said that 101 True Digital Park has set up a “Sustainable Fest”, an awareness campaign for World Environment Day (5 June) under the corporate philosophy of ‘For All Well-Being’.
After launching Bangkok's first comprehensive lifestyle complex as a global destination in February, 101 True Digital Park has debuted several green initiatives such as the charity dinner "From Farm to City Dinner" by 101 & Ginger Farm Kitchen, featuring organic dishes from celebrity Danish chef Carsten Kyster.
Mr. Thanasorn Jaidee, President of True Digital Park, said: “True Digital Park is committed to developing the project to be the largest digital innovation center in Southeast Asia, characterized by an integrated ecosystem for startups and supplying the full digital lifestyle. True Digital Park has also applied the ‘smart city’ concept to developing the project and improving quality of life for people in the city through cutting-edge technology to increase efficiency, quality, safety, and sustainability for society and the nation, which is why the project has been designed to save energy, reduce pollution, and provide green areas that bring people close to nature. We held the ‘Sustainable Fest’ on World Environment Day as another activity for urban people to help protect the environment to create a livable city forever.”

Today (8 June 2019) 101 True Digital Park has held environmental activities with the "Sustainable Fest" at the ‘smart city’ innovative lifestyle complex, combining digital technology, green space, and leisure amenities to meet the needs of the new generation. A range of sustainability-focused events, workshops, and concerts have reached all target groups. ‘Smart Talk’ from Jon Jandai, founder of the Pun Pun Center for Self-Reliance in Chiang Mai, gave a talk on his many years living with nature. Speaking to anyone who wants to live a natural life or seeks information to live more sustainably, the local philosopher shared agricultural guidelines for this generation and the next to have sustainable food and become self-reliant. A ‘Smart Workshop’ on gardening in bottles using organic fertilizer from waste food showed people living in condos how to get close to nature with a hobby that needs limited space but engages a passion for art and design. People can also use this gardening approach to test out ideas on a small scale before expanding to a larger area. ‘Smart Collector’ let participants explore 101 True Digital Park’s ‘Smart city’ technologies by gathering check-in stamps at 5 locations to redeem special rewards, showing them how to reduce waste and save energy in various ways.
"All these activities reinforce our view that everyone can be a part of caring for our world with social responsibility. Everyone can take part in the ‘Smart Collector’ activity. By focusing on tangible learning and encouraging social responsibility through measures to reduce waste and save energy at these 5 locations, we hope to spark green thinking for city people to join us all year round. The 101 True Digital Park project won the Smart Cities-Clean Energy award from the Ministry of Energy and the Thai Green Building Institute. The development was also the second runner-up in the global AEC Excellence Awards for Sustainability, organized by Autodesk in 2017, with its clear environmental features. We hope that 101 True Digital Park will engage people in various areas, both retail and office. We aim for all our activities to help reduce waste and save energy. We expect that this will help reduce energy consumption by 30% and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 15,000 tons per year," she said.
The festival’s ‘Smart Collector’ activity lets participants gather stamps at 5 points within 101 True Digital Park project to win special prizes.

1. Bag Sharing
The project has cooperated with Echolab, which campaigns for shoppers to use fewer plastic bags. The bag-sharing service at various locations in the project uses mesh material from the development’s construction to serve eco-conscious consumers.
2. Organic Fertilizer
Coffee grounds, vegetables, fruit peel, and food waste within the project are broken down by microorganisms in composting machines to create organic fertilizer. This helps eliminate waste in the environment, raising agricultural productivity safely without pollution.
3. Energy-generating Pavement
The device uses technology generates energy from walking (Pavegen) in its first installation in Thailand. The working principle is that walking over the Pavegen sheet creates vibrations that produce electrical energy. The more you walk, the more energy you produce.
4. Reverse vending machine (RVM)
The machines collect plastic waste, using compression technology to make bottles smaller and easier to store.
5. Upcycling Display
The project has worked with Mr. Saran Yenpanya, the designer and contemporary artist, to present stories of animals affected by human waste. The designer has used waste materials to create displays and art installations at various locations in 101 True Digital Park.
To spread awareness of the environmental activities 101 True Digital Park has collaborated with Green Wave radio. Listeners are invited to participate and receive recognition from 2 young famous actors – Film – Thanapat Kavila and Bright - Norrapat, from Channel One.
