19 Sep 2022 --- Thailand will enforce a total ban on plastic scrap imports by 2025 in a three-stage plan. The nation’s intention to stop accepting plastic waste from other countries has been discussed since 2020, according to natural resources and environment minister Varawut Silpa-archa, who has deemed the move necessary, saying “we need to protect our country.” “Thailand must not be a dump site for plastic waste. By the end of the next three years, we will not allow any import of plastic scraps from around the world,” he says.
