The Thai government has a 20-year digital economy development roadmap, intended to turn Thailand into a “zero-waste society” by encouraging recycling.
They have a long road ahead. 50 million tons of waste is produced in Thailand annually, evenly split between households and factories. Only 20% of waste generated by households is recycled annually, compared with 70-75% of industrial waste.

The Industry Ministry plans to launch the country’s first R&D center for recycling technology in August to encourage the industrial sector to adopt innovative schemes and create secondary raw materials for their operations.
The national R&D recycling center will specifically target 10 industrial sectors: next-generation cars; smart electronics; affluent, medical and wellness tourism; agriculture and biotechnology; food; robotics for industry; logistics and aviation; biofuels and biochemicals; digital; and medical services.

There is surely a move towards a more conscious Thai society regarding littering, polluting and recycling. It is estimated that each Thai person produces 1 kg of trash every single day. But nowadays there are many websites designed as platforms to educate and inform people about the importance of recycling and the positive impact it has in the world we live in. They provide information related to recycling in Bangkok and other provinces in Thailand, including lists of related organizations, recycling centers, communities which organize recycling activities, second-hand shops, tips on how to recycle used household items, DIY ideas to recycle garbage into creative and useful things and more.
Many well-known companies have joined in to help the cause by setting “no plastic days”. They hope to inspire more people to make recycling part of their life. Using refillable cups when buying coffee, carrying a cloth bags to carry groceries and recycling papers and plastics.
So even though Thailand has a long way to go, every day you see independent recyclers plying the streets with motorbikes and pushcarts culling through garbage cans for their recycling materials to take and sell. They aren’t aware of it but they are the tip of the spear of a Thai nation free of massive waste.
