Roadmap on plastic waste management (2018-2030)

Thailand’s roadmap on plastic waste has two targets:

1. To reduce and replace single-use plastic by using environmentally friendly products.
2. To have a 100% circular economy by 2027.

The roadmap is built upon three phases:

• The first phase in 2019 is to stop using cap seal, Oxo-degradable plastics and micro beads.
• The second phase in 2022 is to stop using foam food containers, plastic straws, plastic bags thicker than 36 micron and plastic cup thicker less than 100 micron.
• The third phase in 2027 is to have a 100% circular economy.

The Board of Investment (BOI) grants favorable investment incentives for companies that use secondary raw materials, operate waste recycling business or improve production process to be environmentally friendly.
