SACIT (Thailand's Institute of Arts and Crafts) is backing a "Waste to Craft" program that transforms production waste—chiefly discarded silk fiber and non-standard cocoons—into craft materials and consumer products. The Socoon brand in Saraburi is now turning these scrap materials into textiles, scarves, bags, and skincare formulations, creating employment and income for local communities while reducing agricultural waste. The initiative bridges research knowledge with local wisdom to build sustainable livelihoods and position Thai crafts for global markets.
