Curbs slash imports of plastic, e-waste
Imports of plastic and electronic waste have declined sharply after the government curbed imports of foreign waste, says the Customs Department.
Plastic waste imported to Thailand fell to 174,000 tonnes during the five months to May from 571,000 tonnes for the full year of 2018, while e-waste import volume plunged to 12,200 tonnes in the January-May period from 51,500 tonnes last year, said Krisada Chinavicharana, director-general of the Customs Department.
