Thai industry declares war on plastic pollution with ‘unprecedented’ public-private effort
Every ministry in Thailand has agreed to curb its use of plastic bags and foam packaging as part of the government’s pledge yesterday on World Environment Day.
Falling annually on June 5, the day carried the theme of “Beat Plastic Pollution” this year. “All government agencies under the 20 ministries will set examples for others to follow. They will reduce their use of plastic bags and foam containers,” Natural Resources and Environment Minister General Surasak Karnjanarat said yesterday (June 5).
