The roadmap includes plans to reduce and ultimately eliminate three types of plastic currently in use. They were identified as bottle seals, OXO-biodegradable plastic and microbeads in 2019.
Besides, the Roadmap also includes quitting the use of four types of plastic in 2022: plastic bags, foam boxes, single-use plastic cups and plastic straws.
The expected result is to reduce plastic waste by around 0.78 of a tonne per year, saving about 3,900 million baht in the waste management budget per year; reducing landfill space for plastic waste disposal of around 2,500 rai, and reducing green house gas emissions.
