The Pollution Control Department (PCD) and GIZ have developed Thailand’s Green Procurement Database into a new version with a user-friendly and easy-to-use design. The database aims to show products and services certified as environmentally friendly, to relate the criteria of development processes for green products and services in order that suppliers can request their products to be certified, and also to serve as an online platform for reporting green public procurement (GPP) data at a national level.

This database helps procurers and consumers browse and select green products and services with reliable certification more easily. The products and services listed are guaranteed as environmentally friendly by various proven eco-labels. For instance, the Thai Green Label by the Thailand Environment Institute and the Carbon Footprint Label by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation.

Samples of green products and services listed in the database

Moreover, public and private organisations are encouraged to report their procurement data of conventional products and green products to the system. The system can calculate estimates of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the procurement of certain products and services. Eventually, the PCD will be able to use this data to monitor, evaluate, analyse and further develop into the GPP at a national level. The GPP statistics of Thailand can be found here.

The database is an output under the Scaling SCP project, which aims to establish climate- and resource-friendly product standards and consumption patterns to contribute to resource conservation and the reduction of GHG emissions, using SPP and eco-labelling. The project is financed by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and is being implemented from January 2022 to December 2024 in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.
