Since 2005, TBC has supported the Prostheses Foundation’s operations in collaboration with the Pollution Control Department. They have worked on the project to reclaim aluminium materials to produce prosthetic legs for the royal charity, promoting aluminium donations from the public to support the Foundation.
In 2021, TBC partnered with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Climate Change and Environment, and private sector networks to launch the “Recycle for Life” project. This initiative aimed to collect aluminium cans for recycling to fund the Foundation. Their goal for 2023-2024 is to donate enough recycled aluminium cans to produce 100 prosthetic legs.
Additionally, in 2023, TBC donated over 50,000 cans of drinking water to the Foundation to support their mobile prosthetic leg service units across the country.
